Greetings,

Early morning shave,

A Enjoyable shave to finish my shaving week off wonderfully. I have mentioned in my past postings the Parker 24C isn't aggressive yet efficient and smooth giving satisfactory shaving results...

Open comb razors have a reputation of been aggressive, they can be, but any razor can, which can be misleading to someone who has yet to shave with one i find them very smooth & efficient and match up really well with most DE blades.
Over the week i have pushed the Derby Usta to the max, as normally regardless of the blade with a few exceptions i used it for two shaves then it was binned...The Derby Usta has yet again surprised me throughout the week showing no signs of dulling....The star of my shave this morning was the OSP Neroli Scented Shaving Soap each time a use this soap it never fails to provide me with a excellent lather.

A 2 pass + pick ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a dollop of Cien Sensitive ASB.

My face is feeling smooth cool, & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

OCtober shave #5

Razor: GEM MMOC
Blade: GEM PTFE (3)
Brush: Yaqi Tuxedo
Soap: Arko
Aftershave: Proraso Green

This was last night's 'rule' shave. Yet again, fantastic results. I am hoping that by sticking with this combination I can improve the efficiency of my shaves... I do find that I still need to do quite a bit of cleanup under the chin and along the left jawbone. It would be awesome to get it down to 2 passes too, but I'm not sure that's going to happen!

Apologies that there is no photo today.

Enjoy your shaves gentlemen.

Nice shaves, gentlemen.

Good morning. My morning temperature was 99.2F I only have 2 to 3 more cold water/ alcohol compress treatments. I could stop right now, but I am not taking any chances. I haven't eaten much and haven't been to the gym except a very light cardio session yesterday. I am still weak and considering what I have done and not done, it is understandable. These places still have the AC on full blast. C'mon people, cut the AC. People get sick when it is on full blast and the weather doesn't call for your place of business to be as cold as a meat locker!

A real nice Throwback Thursday shave this morning. I didn't time the loading action-just went with what "looked good" on the brush. 2 passes. A cut on NW Porcupine during the first pass. I've had worse cuts before, but I just couldn't simply call this one a "plain Knick". But in general, Central Texas Soaps comes through again! Soft, clean, fresh feel all around. Clubman did real well as the closer. Super Duper Excellent.

Glorious lather this morning. I love the scent of Unity.

This is the first time using this razor head. I had it a while and man did this little cheapo deliver. I was pleasantly surprised. Two with the open comb side and the third and final pass with the solid bar side.

I hope everyone is having a great day!

Another fantastic day started off with one great shave. Three pass bliss to Uber smoothness. The Opus Badger easily whipped up a luxurious lather with enough for several additional applications if needed.
I am enjoying this beautiful Fall day. I managed to complete some outdoor activities as the shoulder is getting better everyday. PT will start on Monday. I am looking forward to continued improvement.
Hope you are have a great day gentlemen.

Superb shave Barry

Very interesting hybrid cheapie razor Danny. Very nice shave my friend.

Very nice Jeff

Very nice shave Paul. Those Knickerbockers are wearing out their welcome.

Time for some more chicken soup.

Awesome MMOC shave Jim. Nothing wrong with a third pass. Just enjoy the process. I do as three passes are my norm.
