1956 Gillette Super Speed Flair
Vulfix Super Badger (660)
Georgetown G12 Scuttle
Proraso Sandalwood cream
Aqua Velva Ice Blue
Current Blade under review: Gillette Silver Blue
Shave #1 with 5th Gillette Silver Blue blade and last shave of my July 2015 focus. Fine BBS results, a great shave. Very close, really comfortable, no nicks, weepers, irritation or razor burn. My lather was good today although the brush started out wetter than I'd planned. After putting a dab of Proraso cream in the scuttle and while working my lather, I dipped my brush for more water once today.

2 Full passes: Pass 1: WTG on my face (N/S), and XTG on my neck (N/S). Pass 2: ATG. At this point, I almost had a BBS shave.
Lathered up those areas that needed touch up. I used stretching and some blade buffing to get the remaining few spots. I had to go over a couple of areas a little more than I needed to with the Lord Platinum Class. The Aqua Velva was quiet today.
I nice 2 pass BBS shave from the Gillette Silver blue. Although the July focus is over, I plan to continue my research to find the best blade for me. The Gillette Silver Blue is still in the running, but it has some challengers both past and present to contend with.
