    March Madness!!

    March 24
    Razor - Gillette NEW LC
    Blade - [​IMG] (3)
    Soap - Moon Old School
    Brush - Stirling 24mm Finest Badger
    Post - Alum

    Shave three for the NEW LC and Supermax Blue Diamond. I chose the Moon Old School soap to go with the old school razor, so I needed an old school badger. The Stirling brush fits the bill. This soap performs well with any style brush and it didn't take long to load and get a great lather. Tallow, tallow everywhere and I love the feel of the shave and the post shave. Considering dinner consisted of a slab of dead beef, fat included, applying a generous coating of dead beef fat to shave with seemed totally appropriate.

    Three passes, all smooth and comfortable. I'm sure this blade would easily go several more shaves. I just like to quit at 3 while the feel is still good. Near-BBS and I'm a happy camper. My Monday includes an eye appointment for my annual diabetes care along with getting some glasses to wear when I want my contacts out. Other than that, it's another free day. Hope your week starts off GREAT!!

    I like Tim's Soaps but my brother in law didn't think it was special and gave me his Greeks Peach. Hooked on Greeks Peach and the 2nd tub of soap I actually finished. Ruby Red was the 2nd Tim's and followed that with Breakfast of Champions and Blue Suit which I picked up NOS two months ago.

    SOTD:
    Todays shave was BBS after 3 passes, i can literally shave as fast with this razor as i can with a cartridge, thats how unlikely you are to cut yourself as long as you don't
    Apply pressure, that Col Conk is quickly becoming one of my top 3 favourite soaps. I'll be posting a technical question about Gillette razors later on, i just need to take photos first.

    Razor: Gillette super speed flare tip(UK)
    Blade: feather hi-stainless (5)
    Soap: Col Conk lime
    Aftershave: old spice whitewater[​IMG]

    Cold Water Rinse
    Ingram Shaving Cream
    Jayaruh #313
    Ever-Ready Little Lather Catcher
    Gem Blue Star SE
    CWR
    Osage Rub

    My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Ingram Shaving Cream face lathered well with Jayaruh #313 mixed 70/30 badger/boar brush. I did two passes with the Ever-Ready Little Lather Catcher razor with a Gem Blue Star SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    I like the sharp but slightly sweet citrus of the cologne, it's just a pity it comes in a plastic bottle.
    Ah well, such is life.
    Happy Shaving one and all.
