I haven't used my Shake Sharp razors in a little bit... They need to come out early in the New Year in the rotation.

Your pic and monolog never disappoints Steve.

I could never really get a great (close and irritation free) shave by the oneblade genesis despite using V1 and V2 without needing to use a new feather blade for each shave. Just couldn't do it at that <cough> price. Tried modifying Gem blades too - too inconsistent. I'm glad it works for you though.

No shaving music today, however Amazon Echo provided the calming sounds of gentle waves washing upon the shore.

Thanks Josh. I appreciate the kinds words. The Oneblade is not my favorite razor, but I get good shaves with it and like to mix it up. I didn't even get it in the SE rotation for Sept! This is the first chance I had to use it since then. It is easy to use but it doesn't get as close as my other razors. I don't like that it really only takes one blade, but I have plenty for the amount it gets used. I tried to see how GEMs worked but I agree it is not dependable and in the end not worth it to me to mess with. I prefer to keep them for my 1912 which I think really is a better shaver. Happy holidays.
Steve

Here's Saturday's strategy-in essay form:

Begins as usual with the Dove 4 Men Bodywash(Hydration Balance)in the shower. I don't like the Dove bodywashes, as the liquid doesn't come out without a "struggle". Dial is better in this regard. I'll stick with Barbasol for the shave setup. I can't wait to get the NEW Barbasol, the one that shows the celebration of the century mark. The current can has a way to go, but I expect to buy the century can in the century "year" at least.
The aftershave will be TSD Bay Rum, a switch from this morning's Clubman Reserve Gent's Gin, as the temperature goes back down some. With lots of this Bay Rum to go, and lots of the Stephan Bay Rum to go as well, I'm pretty well set in this area.
