Thanks. Sorry but behind with the site down and holidays. I gave up after two shaves. The blades are too dull and the shaves really poor. I am not sure if I was using the carpet or pathology blades but they left too much stubble and a bit of irritation. Steve
Thank you Doug. I had enough of the Durham for awhile. Need to see if changing the blade makes any improvement. Steve

NOVember 2019 November 29 Razor -Gillette New SC Deluxe Blade - Soap - Stirling Island Man Brush - 30DC Meet Up LE Post - Alum Wow, a bit early for me but that's ok. Very slow day today on the streets so I just called it early and came on home to chill out. With the cold rain we're having, chilling out is pretty easy to do. Next to last shave of NOVember and I chose Matthew, the "haunted razor" for the honors tonight. A Gillette New SC Deluxe that has bee replated, this is one of my favorite razors. I've been saving him toward the end of the month. I paired him with the Rapira Chrome blade. Similar to the other Super Stainless from Rapira, this is a smooth and sharp blade and does a nice job. I chose Stirling Island Man and the meet up brush with SynBad knot for a fantastic lather. Three passes to a BBS and I'm a very happy camper! One more day to go!! Decadent December starts Sunday. It's been a great month here again. Thanks to everyone for all you do around here and enjoy your weekend!

SATURDAY'S SHAVE Perfumed by Monica Gillam of Van Yulay Bath Soap - Van Yulay - Green Man Bath Salt - Van Yulay - Green Man Razor - OneBlade Genesis V2 Blade - *4th Shave Shave Brush - Everyman Jack Synthetic Lather Bowl by Freida of the Etsy shop ASfreidaturns Croap - Van Yulay - Green Man Deodorant - Van Yulay - Green Man Aftershave - Van Yulay - Green Man Fragrance - Van Yulay - Green Man Cologne ***EDIT - 2 pass + extensive clean up pass. BBS. The 4th shave seems to be the blade finisher, but even on this final shave on the blade it gave a beautiful result. No irritation and a perfect shave. The OneBlade razor was developed extremely well, but the blades just don't last. The max I get is 4 shaves. The blades are expensive. It's hard to deny that the razor is a '10' rating shaver. Those blades are the only gripe.
Thanks Gary. The Mamba is better then I remember. It really is a smooth and fine shaver. I need to break it out more often. Steve
