Still working my way thru my Gillette's and the Slim was next. Nice shaver and my face is happy. Wish the Lea SS had some kind of scent other than soap, it's a really good product tho. Now go enjoy your day folks.

 

Thanks, Gary!

Monday OCtober 28

I honed up one of my Henckels wedge blades over the weekend so I wanted to try it out on one my Henckels Rapide's for today's shave.

Bowl/Scuttle - GP12
Soap - MWF (it's Monday)
Brush - Alpha Titanium Outlaw Fanchurian
Blade - Henckels wedge (1)
Razor - Henckels Rapide
Post Shave - OSMA Pierre alum, Clubman Reserve Whiskey Woods

Shave rating 4 of 5

I'm working on my honing skill and technique. I'm not good yet. I haven't shaved since Thursday, I honed the wedge on Friday and wanted a few days growth before I shaved with the wedge. Today I did a 2 pass shave. First pass WTG I felt some tugging so my honing job was not good enough. Aside from the tugging, the first pass results were ok. The second pass was XTG and was a surprisingly smooth shave and results were surprisingly good, DFS overall with some BBS areas on my cheeks down to my jawline. So my honing is getting better but is not quite good enough yet. The MWF provided a nice slick lather for my face. Aside from the tugging, I got a 2 pass, nick and weeper free shave. The alum was almost silent, just a couple small areas of noise. I finished off with the Clubman Whiskey Woods A/S.

Overall, an pretty good shave. I think it's time to break out a couple of my current OC razors for the rest of OCtober.

Happy OCtober and great shaves everyone.

Razor: Schick Platinum
Blade: Gillette Winner
Soap: Razorock XXX
Aftershave: vintage English Leather Musk

 

Thanks, Gary.

 

Good job, Ken.

 

Razor: Timeless OC w/Pineapple Handle
Blade: Voskhod (6)
Brush: DFS LE Nathan Clark Envy White Knot Handle Aluminum Color, Anodized Dark Bronze. #41/150
Soap: Timeless Soap by Oleo Soapworks
Aftershave: Floid Vigoroso
Bowl: Timeless Ceramic Handmade Bowl

Another really good shave with mostly Timeless products. I really like the Pineapple Handle (@TommyCarioca) .
It fits the hand well while providing good balance to the head. The Nathan Clark brush is outstanding. It has good weight and probably the best knot in the business, the Envy White. This knot was brought to my attention by Clint @clint64. Also known as Amigo. The Timeless bowl is also a great shaving product. The Floid Vigoroso is a high quality old time aftershave IMO.

 

Good looking shave @Angelo85.

 

Great products and shave Ken.

Love it Jason.

 

That's great news Brian. I enjoy less loft myself.

 

Excellent photo and setup @Xring3.
