This is the 6th great shave with the Kai Sharp blade. The Catie's Bubbles Santal paired great with the CC Sandalwood AS.
PSO: Palmer's oil lather: MWF brush: Omega 31064 blade: Ladas (3) razor: generic Old type - no markings finish: HolyRollah's awesome DIY balm >here< The second voyage of the Generic Old Type was a repeat pleasure. Though fairly efficient for a mild razor, it is still no R41 or FaTip. Yesterday's shave lasted well into the afternoon, but did wear off a bit sooner than shaves from an aggressive razor. Perhaps this is what tempted me into the mild razor trap (again!). Not feeling the bite, I ran too many passes on some touchup efforts. Still... it was nothing that Kevin's balm couldn't remedy. Decent BBS. I am still quite pleased with this lightweight, mild razor (I will post some pics tonight... really!). I'll keep it on my short list, but I am once again pondering "What do I want from a razor?" Maybe the reason I can't answer the question is I want is all! Yeah... good luck with that!
2/13/2015 Prep: Hot shower with Nivea Face Wash with menthol, home made PSO Razor: Cobra, Imperial Razor Barbers Favorite straight razor Blade: Feather Professional (13) Brush: Vie Long Horse Hair Soap: RazoRock - Neroli After: Home made ASB, Osage Rub after shave Cologne: Cuir Cannage It is a cold Friday morning. The Neroli whipped up nicely this morning by the Vie Long brush. The Cobra and the Barbers Favorite did a good job. The Osage Rub brought the arctic chill and the Cuir Cannage will have me smelling great all day. All in all it was a 2 pass almost BBS shave. Have a blessed day!
Thanks. That is one of a pair that got matched (and I think rematched from an original manufactuing standpoint) with another brush. I named them Mutt and Jeff as seen below. http://theshaveden.com/forums/threads/mutt-and-jeff-2-band-delights.37321/

Friday: hot shower w/Zumbar Almond bar soap Homemade PSO '66 Gillette SuperSpeed 2+ passes Supermax Platinum (1) Semogue 1305 boar TOBS Almond and TOBS Sensitive Skin creams in a warm bowl (samples) Thayer's unscented w/aloe John Varvatos Vintage edt Stuck inside today because of the weather so I actually had time to enjoy my shave and I also have a moment to post it. Terrific shave today with my mild SuperSpeed. I'm guessing it was the razor/blade combo selected because I don't usually end up with this close of a shave from an S/S. I had some TOBS cream samples that have been in a drawer for so long that they dried up. I scraped them out of their little containers and mashed them together in the bottom of my bowl and then put some hot water on top and let them soak while I showered. I then whipped up a prodigious amount of luscious lather and I've still got product in the bottom of the bowl for another shave. And to think I almost chucked them in the wastebasket...
