    In my continuing attempt to titanic Mike's Lavender, I switched up the hardware. I decided to go with the OneBlade Genesis V2 loaded with a fresh Gem PTFE blade. I do use a 3/32 hole punch to modify the blade so that it will lock in place. I also pulled out the CH2 synthetic, aka " The Soap Destroyer" which I hope will speed up the titanic results. Three passes and minimal touch ups ended in a wonderfully smooth BBS shave. I hope everyone has a great Tuesday.

    It has been just that. I call the aftershave "Clubman Goes West". :)

    SOTD July 7, 2020

    Prep: Cold water and PAA Cube pre-shave soap
    Blade: vintage Private Club platinum chrome
    Razor: Schick G5
    Brush: JR #142 badger
    Soap: Stirling Glacial Lemony Orange
    Post: Witch hazel, Soap Commander Justice aftershave

    Easy Tobacco Tuesday shave with the new Justice splash as the tobacco element. Wonderful scent. Beautiful lather whipped up by the #142 brush and easy whisker reduction with the G5. Everything worked together quite well for satisfactory results. The soap is definitely reduced and I think it should be dusted during this month.

    Enjoy your day!

    A much better shave this morning(7th)than yesterday. Here's what I did differently: 1)-only 2 slaps of water on my face and neck, 3 less than usual(maybe I should just stick to the 2 and let THAT become "usual"). A little bit more force on squeezing out the brush after wetting it under the tap. 3)-focusing on the tips of the brush in loading the soap(same soap as yesterday). As for the shave itself, 0:30 to do the aforementioned loading onto the brush, 2.5 nice passes(I suppose that's the thing with "tip loading", you appear to need just a little more). One weeper on the left, just above the jawline. Good smooth action down at Cactus Nation. Aqua Velva again for the closer. I think even with the weeper I can get away with calling this one Super Duper Excellent.

    I just passed 135,800 likes. Thank you friends :). Course I know I have a huge mountain to climb to overtake @wristwatchb, and presumably others in this category.
