  3. Saturday February 6, 2021
    Razor: G.E. Jones Shake Sharp
    Blade: Wizamet (Double Stacked)
    Brush: SV 2.0 Bamboo
    Soap: Lakewood SOCP (1508.5 Project on Steroids)
    AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
    AS 2: Nivea 2 into 1 Splash
    Fragrance: Azzaro Visit Edt

    This mornings shave was just spectacular except for using the same soap that 'm getting nose blind too..........Great lather and doughnut hole continues to expand. I saw that Jeff @jgreenepa was packing his Shake Sharp with some straights for a road trip and it reminded me I hadn't used it again since it's maiden voyage after purchasing it. Man alive this thing is an amazing tool for me. I'm amazed at how close a shave is gotten with such ease and comfort. So glad I had my curiosity stirred by Jeff in another neighborhood and even better that I found such a good example of one for a fair price. Eye's on the lookout for the other versions if I can find one. If not, I'm still tickled to have this one. Biggest problem with the razor is the question, do you consider it a DE or SE ? :D Humphrey's, Nivea and Azzaro Visit rounded out the great shave. Hope all have a great day and weekend !!

    February 6th

    Proraso SF & AS - Red
    Barbasol FH
    Treet Platinum Super Stainless

    Motorsport season glamping shaves starting for most weekends now....brought the Barbasol FH along for this trip. Classic barbershop fragrance with the Proraso Red shave foam. Super volume, nice and slick for 2 easy passes. No crimson shenanigans. The BFH just gets it done. Finished with a dousing of matching after shave. Smooth and ready for a race day.

    Friday’s shave was the Feather AC DX kamisori and a Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements soap/as setup.

    Read along late last night once settled at the facility. Still some 200+ posts behind. Great images and details from everyone, looks like @myles wilson got a great classic Brut introduction. Will play reading catch up once again this evening.

    Hope everyone has a great weekend!
  7. I have both the saloon pack GWS and the winners from India. Just ordered 110 Winners . Good blade . Bought 330 GWS awhile back and love them also

  11. Clint, the handle change does it for me. I hope it works for you also.

    I'll jump in on Monday with my R41 and a Weber handle and then return to finish my mini-focus with the SRX.

  16. Awesome shave this morning Jeff. Safe travels and hopefully no challenging weather along the way. Just wondering, even though you did not post in your report, how is the sheen on the dome from the Turtle Wax application?

  19. No worries Charlie. The stock handle was great. I didn't find it slippery at all. I have several handle to try with the razor head.

  20. A better shave today than "that of yesterday"(how's that, you language specialists???). Closed out the trifecta of Central Texas Soaps' Week-end Rodeo soap&A.S. Solid lathering all around(but I can still do better with this). I was a BIT more comfortable with the Red Tip, again going South to North. @Trigger told me yesterday that I had "found my angle", and I may well have, even though it is a different one than most shavers use, I would presume. I did the cheeks, sideburns, and most of South Porcupine Alley(the chin) with it. When I began trying the jawline with it, I suddenly thought, "Ahhh, better go to the disposeABLE for the rest". Really a clean, smooth shave. 2 healthy passes. No cuts/Knicks The aftershave was niice. . Outta This World Excellent.
