Used the RazorRock BBS last night to calm any OC irritation. BBS, no irritation, can't even feel the blade. I love this razor. The "real men" on my Xmas gift list may be getting these.

Thanks Joseph

Thank you, Andrew!

Thank you, Charlie. Apologies for not getting your name right.

Great job on the restoration and shave with the razor Danny! Have an Alabama awesome day!

Thanks Charlie. This is our first house, wifey and I ‘built’ back in ‘97. We were fortunate (still are & grateful for it). Worked through all those details with a decent home builder using their plans. We picked and chose ‘upgrades’, this specific bathroom (kids) was left as they offered. Delta faucets went every where else. I have a love hate relationship with that brand too. I’ve bought Delta repair parts for sink faucets/valves, toilets and now twice for a Mixet shower. Kitchen sink faucet was Delta twice , now it’s a Moen upright. To replace the whole system in this bathroom would be ripping out sheet rock and tile to replace, in addition to the plumbing change. It’s just wear items I suppose. Just wish the box stores would have the quality repair parts....

Oh well...small FWP in the big scheme of things.

Thursday's Shave
#OCtober

AutoStrop VC2
Feather FHS-10
WCS Beacon Synthetic
Arko Shaving Soap
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Pinaud Clubman Aftershave

I chose an often polarizing setup today that won't win every popularity contest, however I quite enjoy it. I wish some other soaps lathered as well as Arko and I do like the scent. Clubman is the work truck of aftershaves. It may not be what you'd choose for going out on a date, but it gets the job done well when called to action.

The Feather blade felt tuggy from the first pass, so I decided to alter my routine a bit. This is the 3rd shave on this blade, which is 1 too many from my experience. Passes 1 and 2 were WTG and the third pass was a slight XTG. This was an experiment in wisker reduction and it resulted in a socially acceptable shave with no irritation or mishaps. The blade has now been retired.

Nice shave Daniel! It's one of the main reasons why I don't play music when I shave.

And now it's a unique piece that looks great.

Thank you, Clint. I'm letting stuff get to me that I shouldn't. Deep breath, count to ten and go about my day.

Excellent setup and report, Jeff! You put a lot of work into the honing and it sounds like it paid dividends.

Thanks for the illustration Blair!

cool shave and pic Daniel..

I look forward to your thoughts! I know the LEA soap in the bowl is a different product line and scent than my shave sticks, but I'd assume it uses the same excellent base.

Edit: I want to add that every LEA product I've used has been great quality and performed well: shave stick, shave cream, aftershave balm and 0% aftershave splash.

awesome job on the resto Danny..fine shave and pics..

Nice shaves, pic and gear Matt.
