Sandalwood Saturday Reef Point makes a great soap, and this sandalwood is warm and cozy. The lather is thick and rich, and set up my stubble for its fate. Der Futur administered this fate with a cool, smooth efficiency, paired with a Personna Lab Blue blade and dialed down to five. I finished up with Krampert's Finest Acadian Spice Bay Rum, my favorite bay rum because of the excellent skincare and scent.

Schick Saturday Schick B2 Repeater /Schick (8) Col Conk Bay Rum Vintage Rubberset Pure Badger Hair Original Knot Every Man Jack Face Lotion Gillette Cool Wave Splash A very good shave this morning. The Conk Bay Rum is a good performing soap with excellent slickness and a mild Bay Rum Scent. The Chick blade is starting to dull and I had to concentrate on angle as this is only my 8th shave with this razor and I have not used it for a while. The shave ended up BBS and AGAIG. Have a blessed day Gentlemen.
SOTD February 6, 2016 Prep: Hot shower Blade: Personna lab blue (1) Razor: Vintage Gillette travel 3-piece Brush: Trader Joe's synthetic Lather: TSD soap stick unscented Post: Nivea sensitive balm WTG, touch-up Traveling on a short weekend trip. I'm using the TSD soap stick again today. It's perfect for traveling. Went for a little more water on my face and on the soap as I rubbed it around. It was a little too dry yesterday and still a hair dry today. More experimenting needed! The new-to-me vintage Gillette travel razor is a great size for travel and quite convenient. The short handle may take a little time to get used to, but overall was fine. A couple of bucks on my chin, chalked up to first time use with that razor. The Personna blade performed well as usual. Hope you all have a great Saturday!
SATURDAY Evening shave late Friday night, but posting it this morning. Another vintage Swiss-made frameback, this time from Jaques LeCoultre (circa 1830-1919). In excellent condition, this old heavy frame back razor provides a very smooth, comfortable shave. Have a great Saturday, all!
You need to go to the Feather pro or pro super for a closer shave. Those guard blades are a tad mild IMO.
