    Well, Part 1 of my 2-part experiment is complete. I must say that the Clubman Reserve aftershave(Whisky Woods)does look good for a combination with the Mahogoany(WSP)soap, but we'll see about AV Musk tomorrow. I also decided that the loser can go with the Burma Shave Soap. Clean, no-cut, 2-pass shave...I guess I've made a couple DENTS in the WSP pancake(the soap lol), thus the loading onto the brush has become a bit easier.

    Proraso PS Red
    MWF
    Heritage Collection CMON 77-4 w/Zenith Boar
    Puma 5/8 Special
    PAA Star Jelly - Mentholated
    Art of Shaving - Vetiver Citron Cologne Intense

    3 pass DFS+ again today. Ordered this Heritage brush handle knotless. Last night, got around to installing a 26mm Zenith boar transplant. The combo made an awesome MWF lather today, and the Puma 89 Special handily whisked away everything in it's path, no nicks, irritation, just smooth skin.

    An unusual weekend off for me for this time of year, and it's packed with band, music and volunteering. Somewhat similar to Perry, our HS schedule is a half day (exams), but then a mid afternoon dress rehearsal band show practice, followed with a 5:00pm call time for an away game. Tomorrow is our 3rd of 4 weekends straight of marching band competitions. The band is in full uniforms now....and coming off a great competition last weekend. A 2nd place overall, so the students and directors are very stoked for tomorrow's competition. Sunday is a fun day too, as I get to take my oldest to her symphony practice with the Dallas Youth Symphony Orchestra. Completely pumped!

    Hope everyone has a Fantastic Friday!

    Extremely nice hotel travel shave Jason! Safe travels!

    Great setup and shave Evan! It makes it all the more fun when the family takes part in the hobby, even if only to comment.

    @brit ,

    I have done shave #7 on the Super Silver blade. It isn't as sharp as #1 but rather than dulling as you shave as per a feather, i just feel that i am beginning to lose closeness on the shave. Its odd tbh, they don't seem to suddenly dull like a modern blade.
    7 good shaves from 1 blade is a great result for me. I may try 8 but i suspect i may want a new blade.
    How are your SS blades doing?
