Thank you, gentlemen.

 

Thank you Gary.

 

Thank you Ken. From a humble beginner's perspective, it appears to be a high quality blade. I feel lucky to learn with it and it has been a good experience. I must say though the fine people at Maggard Razor were a fantastic help in getting me started and starting me out on the right path.

Saturday Sept 28

Bowl/Scuttle - GP12
Soap - Stirling Autumn Glory
Brush - Rubberset 400-3
Blade - GEM SE Super SS
Razor - TNNSER 3D “Black Beauty”
Post Shave - OSMA Pierre alum, Stirling Autumn Glory A/S

Brush was, I think, NOS when I received it. First time using this brush as well. Soap lathered really well and easily. First pass with TNNSER 3D was near DFS. Unexpectedly, the lather disappeared mostly in the brush while doing the first pass shave. Not sure why. Added more soap and re-lathered for a 2nd pass which was just clean up. It’s been mentioned by others, this is a really good razor.

Shave rating 5 of 5.

SEptember 28th SOTN

I elected to de-spine a Gem blade today and promptly jabbed my finger (OUCH!) leading to blood all over the bathroom.

Blood aside... It resulted in what I think was a smoother shave in the Oneblade maybe? I'll see how the next couple go to make a better decision. All in all, a wonderful shave before bed. Happy Sunday!

Extra points for drawing blood.......

 

SHAVE OF THE DAY


L&L (DG) Mayflower for this mornings shave. If April showers bring May Flowers what do Mayflowers bring? GENOCIDE. A old saying my Native American grandma used to say.


Mayflower is one of the best Floral Bouquet scents i have come across and one that could be considered a masterpiece IMO. It is bright and non-apologetic about being a Floral scent, but there is something about this scent that i just LOVE!


Performance is good although i do not put DG as high up on the list as many others do. It makes a thick lather that requires a good amount of water to perform at its peak. The shave went well but i think this blade may fo better in another razor so will be switching it up for tomorrow. Finished off with matching aftershave which opens up slightly different from the soap, the combo-nation is exquisit and (although i did not pick it up) was super stoked to see a re-release of Mayflower just so others could get a chance to try this Floral bomb.

Hope everyone is in good health and getting the best shaves possible!

 

Thanks Gary
