    Excellent report and insight, Barry.
    I would venture to say that 90-95% of the regular wet-shavers look back at their start and come to similar conclusions. You've jumped a high hurdle.

    Buzz mine every 2 weeks and did a head shave once. Too many wrinkles and scars to look presentable so leave mine at the buzz cut. Have a great day yourself too !

    Razor: Yates 921 Hybrid/Gillette Plastic Tech Handle
    Blade: Wizamet (1)
    Brush: 1979 Burma Shave Boar
    Soap: Lakewood SOCP (1508.5 Project)
    AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
    AS 2: Nivea 2 into 1 Splash
    Fragrance: Tommy Bahamas St. Barts

    Back to the 1508.5 project and this was a recovery shave in that I wanted something effective but not overly aggressive. The goal was to get a close shave and not add to the tenderness was still feeling in places from yesterday's debacle. That said I could feel on the 1st pass that I really should skip a day or 2 but I'm at over 2 years of never missing a shave since I started taking note as a daily shaver. I considered stopping after 2 passes but wasn't happy with what I could feel and envisioned how much growth I would have by afternoon. Completed 3rd pass and after post shave I felt better than yesterday. The Nivea 2 into 1 only available from Germany is amazing stuff for recoveries. I know it will take multiple careful days to make up for the thrashing I took on Friday from that Yaqi razor. We'll get there but I have another loaner 3D printed razor coming today to review.............Have a great weekend folks !!

    I would be cutting out those black bristles, Dave. Aren't they scratchy?

    Awesome shave Dave. The Yates looks great on the Gillette handle.

    Great looking photo Pierpaolo. The Special Edition Kai looks fantastic.

    My new Semogue brush had one black bristle in the middle. That thing was gone before the first lathering.

    Well I had a nice start this morning! I found out that I won a brand new R41 Muhle and a tube of Muhle shaving cream from a giveaway on a youtube channel. This will be my first open comb razor. I heard that the knurling is not great and that the handle is slippery when wet. Can I use my Rockwell 6C handle in place of the Muhle handle?
