    Another automatic near BBS 2 pass shave this morning. One more shave on this blade and I am going to revisit the Feather Super Pro with this razor. The CF soap is very easy to use and has proven to be very slick. I can see the bottom of the container peeking through so I am going to stay with this soap until it's done. Finished with a splash of Fine Platinum. I hope everyone has a great Monday.
  3. That's a "COOL" picture @clint64.
  4. Great picture I love how you picked out abit of colour. My omega continues to impress me I've decided to gather a collection of them.

    Razor: Merkur Futur
    Blade: Feather (3)
    Brush: Omega 81230
    Soap: MWF
    Post: Alum + Fine L'orange

    Cheated with my pic today I just made yesterday's B+W. Another great performance. It really is effortless. The feather is beginning to lack abit but did the job. I cranked the Merkur up to 2 for my first passes and got brave and went with 4 on touch ups. Finished just shy of BBS which I'm happy with, 3 head shaves sees a blade pretty much done. Absolutely love the MWF it's incredible stuff. Have a great day all.

    Noxema preshave cream
    Gillette Heavy Tech / Derby
    Omega / TOBS Natural
    WH / shea butter / Pre de Provence ASB

    The Derby was a class act this morning. Sharp and very smooth. I eased up a bit on my pressure (very light to begin with) and I had an absolutely amazing shave. A darn fine shave. No nicks, no weepers. Based on shave #2 with the Derby...this is an awesome blade.:chores016:

    I gave the super menthol another shot, starting to like it. Wouldn't want it every day, but once a week it's kinda nice. Nice three pass for a DFS. Have a great week all!

    Menthol Monday and another round with a fresh Gillette Silver Blue in the Old Type.
    C.O. Bigelow provided plenty of nice slick creamy lather. Typical 2 pass shave with touch up. Today's touch up was much lighter than yesterday. On the other hand, just before applying the Aqua Velva I realized I had a weeper on my neck. About 15 minutes later, I found a fresh scab on my jaw line that shows I had picked up a weeper there as well.

    A nice smooth comfortable BBS from the GSB in the Old Type, even if I did end up with two weepers. ;)

    I hope everyone has a great Monday!
