Pretty good one pass shave this morning, plus some touch ups. I'd class it as a Close, Comfortable Shave, but didn't wanna push it to for BBS. I'd usually do 3 passes but I'm just getting over the flu and felt a bit ill.

Most areas of my face feel smooth, until I run my fingers ATG. It's perfectly acceptable for sitting around the house.

Loving my little Simpson Classic 1 at the moment. Struggles to do 3 passes without a quick reload but does 2 no problem and can fit in a travel tube while we were visiting family over the holidays.

Also took the GOTTA back to my 12k, then paste and strop, so it's ready for later in the week. Felt nice and sharp and treetopped arm hair no problem so I'm looking forward to using it.

View attachment 182483 Hi folks, Good Afternoon. I haven’t been around very much, a lot has happened this year. It was a very difficult time for me. But be that as it may, I am glad to still be around. Certainly, it won’t last forever, but for now I continue to hang on. The introduction of a new medicine has given me a stay of execution, so to speak, and I am going to enjoy as much as I can, including our hobby, and the wonderful Shave Den Community that I have loved since I came aware of it.

Glad you hear you are hanging on Alan, I am pretty sure the Den has your back.

YESTERDAY'S SHAVE
View attachment 182475

Prep: Pre Shave Soap Mix
Razor: Wilkinson Sticky
Blade: GSB
Brush: Maggard 28mm Sythetic
Soap: Southern Witchcrafts- Necromantic
Post: BW Peg Leg Nichols A/S

Amazing shave yesterday. Southern Witchcrafts is a artisan that has quickly became one of my favorites. Scents are nice and strong, unique and complex. Soap base is excellent and can compete with other top tier artisans. Have really been impressed with this base. Scent of Necromantic is fresh and earthy, reminds me a little bit of PAA La Tierra Mojada, both scents are different yet similar. Post residual slickness is off the charts IMO and lather has a rich creamy consistancy. Very happy with the results from this shave and hope you had a similar experience!

Today’s SOTD was with my Rex Ambassador, a Bolzano Superinox Blade, maggards London Barbershop soap, a brief splash of Clubman Special Reserve, and a bit of Perry Ellis 360Blue.
As of right this month, I have had my Rex Ambassador for one year. In that time, I have used it almost 100 times. In my present condition, I cannot remove my oxygen cannula for more than 5 or 6 minutes. The Ambassador is truly a one pass razor, better than any razor I have ever used, and I have owned and used an example of every razor Gillette ever made. I love the vintage razors. I will always have them, and on good days, I do use them sometimes. But it is my honest opinion that the Rex Ambassador is clearly the best razor I have ever used. No bs. It is extremely efficient. I’m glad I got one.

Glad your posting, Alan. I wish you many more good days.
