Well, I want to say thanks to Gary for suggesting this Gillette focus for the week. I have not been using my Gillette razors and my other safeties on a more frequent basis so this focus is a good one.
I always start with my face shave. I used a brand new blade to start this focus. Did my new method of lathering and it developed into a nice, creamy, slick lather. It really looked so good. Did two passes and minor touchups for a BBS shave. Did reopen a weep on the stache, but no biggie.
Obviously, I had to reload the brush for my dome shave. I needed 3 passes to get BBS shave. There wasn't any mishaps and no irritation to be found.
Applied the witch hazel, balm and the matching aftershave (2x) on neck, face and dome. With the double portion of the Bay Rum, I am going to be smelling it all day. Oh yeah! Lol!
I will be using the Stirling Bay Rum all week because I want to kill it asap. The wake probably will not happen until the end of this month or the middle of Feb at the latest.  That will be 3 down and 7 more Stirling soaps to go. I will be using my Omega 49 boar all week as well. Now, I may shave with the Fatboy '61 all week or use my other 3 Gillettes, but it depends on how I feel. Anyway, have a great day guys!
