    Good morning guys!

    Shavette Shave #173

    Parker SRB
    Rockwell 1/2 DE Blade (3)
    Semogue OC Super Badger
    Razorock Classic SS
    Old Spice P/G AS

    I don't always mention it but I use my brush to wet my face. It kills 2 birds with one stone because I release the excess water onto my face. I load the soap on the pasty side and then paint my face and do some circular strokes, too. I have a cup full of water and just touch the surface with the tips and continue to do so until I have a nice lather. I might add more soap on my second pass. However, I find that this method produces a nice, slick and thinner lather and makes a disposable or traditional straight razor glide much more easier on my face. Now with a DE, I make my lathers much more thicker. The Razorock Classic has that almond/cherry scent that I like very much. It is easy to lather and it is a great value. At the time, I bought it for just under 5 dollars. I had a 41 hr lawn to mow and I could have finished with one pass to have a DFS. However, I am a 2 to 2.5 pass shaver so I continued with my normal routine. With 2.5 passes, I got a BBS shave without any errors. Gave myself a double portion of the Old Spice and there wasn't any burn. My skin feels great and I smell great! It is one of my best shaves in awhile. Have a fantastic day, guys! 20200707_101206.jpg 20200707_101206.jpg

  11. Great shave Jim. I am surprised the steep angle worked with the Rocnel. I will have to try it with other DE's as well.
  12. Jeff, I don't have any hardware from Jason.
  13. Thanks, Clint!
    I'll be experimenting with a steep angle on all my razors going forward. I would have never guessed it works as well as it does.

  14. That's an über quality shave, Clint!
  15. Nice gear, pic and an Alabama awesome shave, Perry! We haven't heard from your fellow Alabama shaver Danny @Hembree in 3 months. Hope he is ok.
  16. I will be experimenting and keeping notes as well. I bet the Timeless will really benefit from a steeper angle.
  17. Thank you Joe.
