    Another great shave, from an American Made razor. I had a very smooth 2 pass shave, that left me BBS. Not one bit of tugging or discomfort with the ATG pass. Geneva Cutlery is one of the finest American Razor makers. As good, if not better, than a lot of big named European Blade makers.

    Razor- "Ontario", by Geneva Cutlery Corp. Geneva N.Y..
    Brush- @oscar11 creation, Synthetic knot.
    Soap- Wholly Kaw "OUD".
    Aftershave- Shulton Old Spice. "The Admiral" decanter.

    It was a great shave today. Really relaxing and feeling solid for my Sunday chores to re-neaten up the place and spot clean.

    Looks like you moved the Special Reserve to glass! Excellent decision. People who use that plastic need to try the glass. It really improves the scent of the opening splash.

    The last of the three razors Glen rehoned is today’s SOTD. All three razors improved but this one least of all - up a half notch. It had very good sharpness but not the smoothness of the other two. Maybe I’ll have a different opinion next time I use it - you never know. :cool:

    So, of the three, what used to be my least favorite jumped up to the best of the lot, the other two went up a half notch or a notch with today’s shave going from the best of the lot to the rear of the pack. All three back in good graces. :happy088:
