Not shaving today. Had a nice one with 2 passes yesterday. I don't go for BBS. Right now, barely starting to get sand papery. My preference. In addition, I find that taking a day off helps the skin and the add'l hair growth helps lift the hair while shaving. Enjoy your shaves today gents.

Thanx again, Luke! Yes, they'll last me a while, as I can get almost 10 shaves out of a blade. Plus I think I might get me a first model someday, so I'll be able to use modified GEM blades. Besides tha one is an open comb razor as well.

6/8 T.I. Tabac homemade brush, 22mm, Grade A Silver Tip Stephan's Lilac Very nice shave this morning, smooth and close. This is the way my brush ended up from the post "Last one ....for a while". The handle material is called Blue Pearl, very iridescent like Mother of Pearl. It's a little lathering machine. image host

Sunday: Turkish Horsehair Super Speed/Rapira day 4 Super Max SC Svoboda AS Balsam Floid Classic AS What can I say - another very enjoyable shave, and this time with a new cream from Bulgaria which is apparently sold all over Europe. Lots of lather with a beautiful scent which is identical to another cream called Solo Menthol. This Super Max cream however has no cooling sensation although menthol is listed as an ingredient. I received great cooling from the Svoboda balsam and Floid aftershave, and I'll need it, because it is hot here again today!

Yeah Nick,this one was rough from the beginning,I'm thinking it's a bad batch of blades.My G and Hydromatic are fine,but my Revere model also has been giving some problems.All from the same batch of blades.Injector type blades seem to be more prone to duds.I even had a Feather Professional that had no sharp edge.I'm going to give the E and the Revere another shot and open a new batch of blades.Blades are cheap no sense giving up on a razor.
