First time using Dorco blades and I really enjoyed my shave. Efficient, smooth & sharp, really good feedback. Looking forward to using again with this same set-up and testing out something else for variety and dependability. The GFT cream makes my face slick as an ice rink, so I'll see how it does with one of my less impressive soaps.

I've been unimpressed with my Yaqi synth brush the handful of times I've used it with different soaps, but I have to say that together with the GFT cream it was magic- loads of lather, though I admit I used an extra pinch of cream. The brush felt great on my face and I actually got a bit of splay as I pressed against my chin. It's my 1st fan knot and my largest brush (26mm). Maybe this brush will be a kind of specialty brush where I use it with certain soaps/creams.


AV Musk pairs nicely with Spanish Leather's notes of musk, patchouli, vanilla, and sandalwood.

I'm also really enjoying the Fine Accoutrements lather bowl. It's slightly wider than my Captain's Choice, but more importantly has more depth, and has ridges both on the bottom of the bowl and up the sides. Definitely 2 thumbs up with a strong recommendation.

I've been exposed to someone who tested positive for Covid 19, so I'm in strict quarantine and loving the little joys of life, like taking my time with this terrific ritual we call shaving. Most of the time, gone are the days I call it a chore! Now, if only I could find out how to feel that way about house work

fine shave Leo..

Thanks Gary!

This is a restored 5/8 that hones and shaves like you’d expect from a vintage Solingen razor. Quite a comfortable shave, despite some extra sensitivity from the unfortunate A&E burn yesterday.

very cool..

fine shave and pic,cool razor.love the sandpiper scent..

Gary, your enthusiasm always elevates and brightens my day. Your level of engagement is inspiring! I have many more Stoylin flavors to tackle; Sandpiper never ceases to disappoint. It is my go-to whenever I can’t decide.

Have a great weekend!

Thank you, amigo....

thank you....i love the sandpiper,gentleman and deep blue sea..plus others of course.

I have been experimenting also with the Kai blade today with one slipped into my Game Changer .84 and received a excellent shave.

SOTD - Sat June 13th 2020

Razor: Razorock game changer .84- Mfg 2018> Excellent razor with the proper blade IMO.(Kai SS today)
Blade: Kai SS (1) -I wanted a little more blade feel to my shave and it delivered that very well, I did read some reviews and the blade delivered a excellent shave today as other have mentioned on different threads. Felt smooth and sharp and gets better after a few shaves the fellows who have used them claim(some did not care for it). No regrets yet! Kai SS is .009 thousands of inch wider or .0045 thousands per side than a standard blade and that is significant extra blade exposure IMO.
Soap: Prorazo Green- I like to use this soap every once in a while but not daily. Good scent and protection.
Brush: Razorock Noir 400 24 mm Plissoft Synthetic- great brush and have used it for over 3 years with good success.
Pre shave:Shower, Brush wash my whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser+ a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on beard.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pick ups.
Post shave: Proraso green with witch Hazel + A tiny dollop of Nivea balm.
Results CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers = Excellent shave with my RR GC .84 with a Kai blade.



Have some great shaves!

awesome shave and pic Ron..

Thanks Gary.

Razor: iKon Original brass SBS

Blade: Personna Super Stainless (8)
