March Madness!! March 21 Razor - 1959 (E4) Gillette Super Speed Blade - (3) Soap - Mitchell's Wool Fat Brush - Wolf Whiskers Custom Silvertip Post - Alum Back on track with Mild March Madness. I had one shave left on the Treet Platinum and Super Speed, so I grabbed the Mitchell's and my Wolf Whiskers and made an awesome lather and went after it. Needless to say, no issues, problems, blood, or any other problem. I finished with a very nice DFS after two passes and a little touch up and the alum was quiet. Very nice finish to the day. I'll have to figure out another mild razor for tomorrow but I have several I still haven't used to choose from. For the boys in the 30DC - Ten days left in March and you guys have made this another rock and roll month around here. We are already WAY past our busiest March total and steaming full speed ahead to a fantastic finish. Thanks again for all your support and participation. I know this beast is hard to keep up with but you all do a great job! With ten days left - get your Arko on order if you want to play along with Arko (Adjustable) April! (Or just ask around here - I'm betting some of us have enough Arko in stock to PIF the whole board!) Obviously it's another chance to pull out those adjustables as well so it should be a great month. Have a fantastic Friday!
This morning shave. Oh how I missed having a good shave. The past 2 shaves left my face burning and itching. The variant was sooo smooth and gave me a such a nice shave

Tabac Thursday SOTN Wow!! Props to @SolidSnake03 who sold me a used Ikon El Jefe. Tonight was it's maiden shave after obtaining a pack of Feather blades. I carefully assembled it several times on my aluminum PAA Starling V2 handle to get the hang of keeping the head square and off I went - very slowly initially as I've never used a Feather Artist Club razor nor blade before (I am very familiar with injectors though). After 3 relatively quick passes, I only had one tiny nick adjacent to my chin that occurred with extra buffing - my fault. I will need to experiment a little bit but WOW! I need to see how quickly my bristly beard dulls these expensive blades... But color me impressed after shave #1. Have a great Friday everyone. Josh Sent from my LYA-L29 using Tapatalk

Friday's Shave Cold Water Rinse Green Mountain Lime Vetiver Shaving Soap T-400 Silvertip Gillette Techmatic Techmatic Band CWR Granddad's Blend AS My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Green Mountain Lime Vetiver Shaving Soap face lathered well with T-400 Silvertip brush. I did two passes with the Gillette Techmatic razor with a Techmatic Band SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Granddad's Blend AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Friday morning: Neutrogena Men Facial Wash Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster Super Speed/Rapira day 2 Bundubeard Klipspringer’s Kick SS Prep ASB Henri & Victoria Bergamot Vetiver AS Splash Another dynamite BBS shave from just two passes with my trusty Super Speed loaded with a Rapira blade. This Klipspringer soap from my good friend Jaco in Pretoria, South Africa gave me its wonderful scent, it lathered so beautifully, and the menthol effect which is supposedly the mildest of these three Kick soaps actually felt cold, especially during my second pass. The Prep as always did an awesome job of soothing my skin and the Bergamot Vetiver aftershave from Henri & Victoria stung like hell for a second but then the menthol blast came out and it felt heavenly. Have a great weekend!
