Shave of the day Pre- Hot shower, Jumping Juniper shampoo cake from Lush Soap/cream- Martin de Candre Brush- Plisson synthetic Razor- Gillette New long comb with bulldog handle Blade- Personna Lab Blue Post- Cold water rinse, Humphreys witch hazel, Homemade Bay rum aftershave lotion and Nivea sensitive cooling aftershave balm Who Said an open comb has to be "aggressive" this is a very mild razor head! In a good way. Im only gonna use reliable gear for the next few days. That means MdC, Plisson and WEBER. I cant have bumbs and razorburn in the coming days. I look forward to be able to use this razor a little more and get to know it. MdC is as always a great performer. And my homemade bay rum AS was the perfect ending to this shave

30 day focus - Day 13 Fat Boy set to 8 Rapira Swedish Blade MDC Face Lathered 3 passes I opened the Fat Boy up to 8 and the shave was very nice. I am not sure if it is better than at 7 or not, but I will give it a couple of days to see.
Superb Tabacstag! Another brilliant performance by Tabac and Der Futur, with special guest, Voskhod. The lather was thick, the cutting was comfortable, and the skin is smooth.

Actually, Patrick, I had designated October as Birth Year Razor month for me, and I had already planned using my Birth Year Razors. Then, someone suggested Open Comb OCtober. I decided to do both. It is actually working out pretty well.
