Thanks. First shave tonight. It's a pleasure to use and efficient as heck. Still looks good despite getting all lathery and wet ; )

I don't have many three band silver tips, but this is a great knot.

 

I don't see a difference but maybe you can. SS on the left TV on the right.

 

they appear the same.. one would think they would shave the same..thank you sir..

Polsilver Iridium blades are great, but pricey. Voshkod blades are good and pretty darn cheap.

 

I was reading somewhere that the '52, '53, and '59 seem to have a large blade gap, not sure if it's true though.

Friday's Shave


Cold Water Wash
Van Der Hagen Luxury Shave Soap
Jayaruh #326
Micromatic Open Comb
Gem Blue Star CS SE
CWR
Barbasol Brisk AS

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Van Der Hagen Luxury Shave Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #326 synthetic horse brush. I did two passes with the Micromatic Open Comb razor with a Gem Blue Star CS SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Barbasol Brisk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Murphy & McNeil – Trinity, sample
CVS SE blade – 4th shave
Gem Feather Weight
Nivea Aftershave balm
Pinuad Clubman Classic

Forth SE shave for this month and the first with the Feather Weight. Totally different experience with the FW vs the Shovelhead. The FW seems to be a little smoother and not as aggressive. It gave a nice shave with just a slight touch of alum burn. I would not even call it a burn but more of a warm sensation. The FW is definitely a light razor compared to the Shovelhead on the Weber bulldog handle. I was careful to not apply any pressure to the FW because of its weight.

The Murphy & McNeil soap performed great and gave a nice slick cushion for the Feather Weight. Great scent as well.

Finished up with some Nivea and Clubman classic.

Overall it was a great Friday morning shave and I will give the Feather Weight some more attention in the future. They are great razors!

Y'all take care and have a great Friday!

Crazy Texas weather. 75 degrees 2 days ago, now 24 this morning.
Went with major stink juice today due to the cold weather -

SL M. KK is a follow - think mila kounis on a hike in July and she undresses and puts her undergarments in a back pack in a tent for 2 days. Ripe rose baby?!

It is polarizing - but i like it, like it, yes i do
