    I started using the AC format on 1/1/15 with the Mongoose. The Feather AC blades are my preferred choice but I have not tried the Schick Proline AC blades yet. I prefer the AC blades to the Personna and Chinese Schick blades. I find them to be very sharp and long lasting. The first shave or two can be harsh. The Schick Proline blade feels like a smaller version of an AC blade. I’m looking forward to seeing what you think of them.

    Good morning, guys!
    Just finished Dovo shavette shave #70.
    Used my Rocky brush to lather the Stirling Coconut Lime. Did 2 passes, touchups, no wounds, no irritation for an IBBS+ shave. Did this shave in the quickest time of 12 min.

    Have a great Friday, fellas! 20190517_064543.jpg 20190517_064543.jpg

    May 17th
    Razor: Gillette Fatboy E4 (1)
    Blade: Sputnik (2)
    Brush: SOC Taj Mistura
    Pre-shave: Stirling Mentholated
    Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat
    PAA Galactic witch hazel
    PAA Star Jelly unscented
    AS: Pinaud Lilac Vegetal

    Fat Friday!

    Good morning!

    I decided to do what I think is a true test of my technique. I set the Fatboy at 1. Yup, the lowest setting. Up until today I've only used the Fatboy wide open and got great shaves. The test today was to see if if I could maintain discipline in my angle to do the same shave and get the same results. Three passes for near BBS with silent alum. Excellent shave to start the day! Same shave, same result.

    Have a great Friday!

    You just proved what I have been saying for a long time, James. The adjustable razor is a gimmick. Once you have the angle, the blade gap means nada.

    Friday At Last!! Mark convinced me to give SDM a try in shave stick form. So last night I loaded some in one of my tubes from Amazon pictured below. Overall I was pleased with the result. I just had enough lather for 3 passes so next time I need to rub more soap on my face. A three pass shave with minimal touch ups ended in another BBS shave. This razor combo is one of the few that I am able to get my lower right neck without buffing. A splash of Antesol followed by some Guerlain Vetiver EdT and I am ready for the day. I'm in my office today so I am hoping for a drama free short work day. Happy Friday Everyone.

    Yeah, it's all about the angle. Blade gap just gives a wider range of angles to choose from.
