Sunday, June 10 Gem Push Button GEM (T. Pella SS PTFE ) (d1) Ingram SC Vulfix 2235 Super Dominica Bay Rum Lime Result: For not trying I got darn close to BBS on 2+ passes. Starting with razor head against face, I made a minor adjustment on angle, stopping where audible cutting just begins (not when loudest-as this is too far I find). My angle had been at the loudest cutting, and I think this was sub-optimum, and may have been my problem with the OCMM. I may give OCMM another try soon.
Sunday: Turkish Horsehair Super Speed/new Nacet Egyptian Ingram SC 444 AS Balsam/Osage Rub AS Splash Old Spice Cologne (Shulton) I like the Nacet blades very much also, but they don't seem to have quite as much smoothness as the Rapiras. I had a really close (and frigid!) and comfortable shave today with the Egyptian version of Ingram cream. Now, I have no choice but to wait for my new bottle of Osage Rub from Fendrihan to arrive, because this sample is absolutely finished.
I need to know your secret method to get all those shaving creams I think I develop an shaving cream AD

Sunday GEM OCMM GEM PTFE The Manchurian Martin de Candre DR Harris Marlborough AS I cut injector week short by a day...but I started a day early. I really wanted to try my OCMM when I wasn't in a rush. I watched a video by Mr. Guy and applied his principles to shave with it. I was rewarded with a fantastic 2 pass shave! This razor is amazing, and most welcome in my collection! I may be looking for another one in the future that has a case. Honestly...any SE fan should have one of these in their rotation. They are so easy to use, and a very nice (mild IMO...milder than a Schick E) razor!

Old Currier & Ives Mug Old Williams Old Senator Old school CM Newport AS (picked it up on the East Coast last week) After roughly 6 months working on [censored] , wife picked me up at the airport last night and snickered. She said that with my un-cut hair, shaggy eyebrows, mustache completely grown over my mouth and long goatee, I really did look like an "old goat". Spent the morning whacking and chopping and trimming. Now to the barber shop to renew my membership in civilized society.
