@Primotenore, I'm praying that your surgery goes well today. Let us know how you're doing when you can, my friend.
Have been busy since I got back in town. I hope everyone had a good week. Joe good luck going under the knife! Probably missed a bunch of stuff. Great shaves fellas!
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. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
May 17 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. Grade 96 = A Have a great Friday, fellas!
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! Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
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.
May 17, 2019 Tatara Masamune OC Feather Duke 3 Synthetic SDM Myrsol Antesol 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. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
