    I don’t have the experience others have with DE/SE, but I really enjoyed the design of the Oneblade. Did feel I needed that extra pass for a similar shave to other SE razors, but that just gives me a longer time with my brush/soap... pretty nice trade off :).

    I had a few Feathers of this style for my Valet Auto Strop, so when this popped up in the bay for 1/2 price, couldn’t resist. I would assume despined GEMs would work but got lucky with having the feathers.

    Cool change of pace in my opinion.

    Gillette NEW LC in Gun-Kote Bronze by Delta Echo Razor Works
    Voskhod Teflon Coated DE (1)

    JR #160 Louisville Slugger handle w/Omega 10098 boar knot
    Truefitt & Hill Sandalwood
    Alum, Thayers WH, USB, Clubman & Ermenegildo Zegna Uomo EDT


    I had a fantastic shave with some favorite gear this morning. When the angle is right on the NEW LC, I cannot feel the blade at all. The Voskhod blades were extremely smooth, as expected. JR # 160 is a favorite - a handle made by our very own @Jayaruh from bat wood I obtained at my hometown Louisville Slugger museum (see photo below) paired with a wonderful Omega '98 boar knot. This brush will make lather out of anything, and I had loads of it from the T&H Sandalwood in nothing flat.

    In addition to my SOTD photo, I'm showing a photo of the NEW LC prior to its spa treatment. It was a well-loved razor for many years, and it continues to be well-loved in my Den.

    I finished up my shave with the normal stuff, including a very pleasant "aqua" scented EDT. It was a nice finish for a very warm Kentucky September day.

    I hope you all are having a blessed day.
