Wool Fat Wednesday SOTD A smooth and comfortable first shave with the DLC Razorock Lupo SS. I definitely dig the somewhat bronzy color. It isn't quite as efficient as I was expecting for my beard but did pretty well. It obviously does not have a significant blade gap. I may try a Feather in it and see how that goes. Slight irritation next to my chin from extra buffing but otherwise all good. I hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday. Josh Sent from my LYA-L29 using Tapatalk

Get Well Soon Jayruh! This was a superb shave. Jayruh made this brush handle from the wood of a Louisville Slugger and I will always cherish it. Roam and Bon Vivant work together nicely.

2019-10-09, Wednesday This morning I used for the first time this soap: great mechanics and scent. Funny enough I got a couple of nicks on my cheeks and can't guess why: razor is a feaher on my skin, as usual. The only option is the blade: it seemed me thinner than the Gillette's i normally use, but I can't see why, especially in a, normally, safe area!

I note that you are still struggling with this setup. Why do you think that is and what do you think you need to do to make it shine? Or is this razor and blade just not going to work fully for you?
My results have improved a lot, but i'm not a big fan of the razor. Nothing really wrong with it, i can get a good shave out of it, but the handle just feels too short for me. I'll try different blades after i've completed the 30 days, today was day 22 i think.
I did 30 days with the same razor after which i called it the vegetable equivalent of a potato. Not great at anything but not rubbish either.

my 34c sits in its box and has done for almost 3 years..it works but no redeeming qualities about it.. kind of boring..
Thursday's Plan: Well, not much of one-coming back to Agadir A.S,/Lumbjerjack(TSE)soap-but with a different brush: Brush-Stoylin " li'l brudder" Synthetic
My poor Stoylin Spice-haven't used it for a long time. As with the WSP Mahogony, I'll give it more time these cold months.
