  4. It's somewhat nifty when you figure something new out, isn't it? Often times, that change is something small, yet yields big results.

  6. Thanks! The razor is for a friend who wants to start wetshaving, its a tech clone, the kudu is a mentholated soap, (medium bite) but its very very close to glacial, its my first menthol soap besides proraso sapone. The rooi Afrikaner is a tallow based soap, while the kudu is glycerine.

  8. Morning shave, evening post.

    Razor - Timeless .95
    Blade - Treet carbon
    Soap - MWF
    Brush - Stirling Best Fan
    A/S - Old Spice

    Not sure what made me reach for the Timeless today. Turns out, a fine choice it was. I put a once-used Treet carbon blade in. The Stirling brush made a wonderful, slick lather (face lathering, natch). Any MWF user will attest to this about MWF - the more you use it, the better it gets. It's not a soap that likes to sit around and dry up. The soap did a bang up job, providing plenty of glide and protection for the shave. Even going ATG on the cheeks was a breeze. A healthy hit of Old Spice to finish things off. Most likely, this setup will be repeated tomorrow. Maybe a change of brush and aftershave, but same razor and soap.
    The Treet carbon blade is surprisingly good. The CVS carbon GEM blades are nice and smooth, yet I had reservations about this blade. Very smooth and plenty sharp right outta da gate. No clue on longevity yet, however it sailed through the shave this morning.
