The #6 brush whipped up the MITA into a nice and cold lather. The Blue Tip and the Barbers Favorite did their jobs admirably. The Osage Rub and the Gravity were a nice finish for this 2 pass Darn Fine Shave. Have a blessed day!
30 day Focus - Day 16 MDC Lavender Face Lathered Rapira Stainless Blade (Day 2 on blade, Day 4 on Rapira Stainless) Slim Adjustable set to 8 3 passes Somehow I skipped posting yesterday. Oh, well, today is another day. 3 passes and very smooth. I think I may like the Rapira Stainless a little more than the Rapira Platinum Lux. It seems just a touch smoother.
I am always amazed at how subjective blades are. I like the Rapira Stainless but find the PL to be a bit smoother. Both a good blades to me though. Just shows that YMMV applies to everything wet shaving.

SOTD iKon OC 7 O'Clock Black (1) Vulfix Boar Mike's Barbershop scent Thayer's Rose Maggard's London Barbershop AS I've had my iKon up for trade for awhile and nobody wanted it so I decided to use it again today and it's a stellar razor. The Vulfix is getting broken in nicely and is becoming a great face lathering brush. All the other products are top notch so today was a pretty great shave.
Birthday Shave Razor: Gillette gold toggle (D1) 1958 (5) Brush: Whipped Dog 30/45 Silvertip 2014 Mug: Old Spice 1985 Cobalt Blue Cream: Castle Forbes cedarwood & sandalwood cream Blade: Feather (1) Post shave: Thayers Cucumber WH, Jack Black cooling gel, Old Spice Lime original Shulton cologne Frosted Glass 1960s Birthday Treat! I'm using all the things I like best! My toggle is a treat to shave with. It's just perfect, in every way, and beautiful. It's adjustments are tight and precise, and on 5 gives me a great shave. The adjustment only changes the blade gap, and not the blade angle, like the other Gillette Adjustables. The WD Silvertip whipped up thick lather, with the Castle. I really like this cream. Great cushion and no preshave needed. Very close 2 pass shave, perfect! Some Cucumber WH and after cleanup some Jack Black AS gel, then some Vintage Old Spice Lime, and all is good. Another DFS for my toggle. The extra weight and the great balance of the toggle make it very easy to just let the razor do the work, and enjoy the ride. A wonderful day!

17aug15 Ahhh... Fatboy on 5. Shave #6 on the blade. Still a DFS. I usually toss the blade after #4 (they're cheap enough)but decided to push this one. Also haven't had good luck beyond setting 4 on the adjustables.... Today was a good day.
