    Nice report and image Joseph! It's just me....I always have a dry towel for hand wiping next to shaving area...and slippery DE or SE razors, I just don't do. Long gone. Love that Alt Innsbruck bottle.

    Wow, what a read Tim! Awesome. Great progress happening on your shavette journey!

    Thanks, Gary. As good as Voskhod and maybe...Sharp Star.
    Thank you, Joe.
    Thank you, Clint. As people have commented, for $30 it's as good as the Merkur 37C.
    Tim, you are quickly becoming a master of the shavette. Next up...the straight. That'll be nothing for you. The most challenging thing about a straight is stropping and maintaining an edge.

    Good evening guys!

    Rockwell Blade DE (?)
    Stirling Boar Brush
    Stirling Bay Rum SS and As
    Nivea ASB
    I didn't need to shave today, but it's a dreary day on LI so I decided to do so. The Stirling brush produced a nice lather. This Bay Rum scent is awesome, but there are some shavers who may not like the clovet note. I always keep my adjustables on the max setting for every pass. Two passes with some pickups gsve me a BBS shave without incident. Liberally applied the matching aftershave and there wasn't any feedback. Topped the shave with the Nivea balm for an enjoyable shave. Have a nice evening guys! 20200506_163130.jpg 20200506_163130.jpg

    Vintage OS or the Indian version? I’ve always wanted to try the Gabels.

    Fantastic shave, Joe--if anything can take the dreary out of a dreary day, it's a nice Bay Rum shave! :D

    Thank you Jim! It's a no shave day tomorrow so that I will have a Favorite Friday shave. I am glad that I have a couple of days to decide what I'm going to use. Decisions, decisions, decisions. Lol!

    Thank you Tim! It's the only Bay Rum scent that I own and I am cool with it. I have plenty of soaps and aftershaves that I need to use up before I decide a new Bay Rum scent.
