    Gillette Tech travel razor (K1).
    Razorock stainless steel handle.
    Feather blade (2).
    Shore Shave Cool Water Mint Ribbon synthetic brush.
    Soap Commander Fortitude shave soap.
    Timeless Razor shave bowl.
    Irish Chestnut by Andy Hilfiger cologne.

    Tuesday's shave.

    I figure I would do a short Gillette Tech focus this week. I completed one pass with the short handle and then swapped it out for the Razorock handle....much better.

    These little Techs are great shavers with a Feather. I consider the Techs the Volkswagen Beetles of the shaving world......dependable and plentiful. I don't know why we don't put them in rotation more often.

    The Shore Shave brush is a twin to Joe's @JACarbone brush...
    Ain't it purdy. It whips up some amazing lather.

    Happy Tuesday Everyone!

    Awesome shave Joe. I think that I will be able to bin three soaps and quite possibly my 4 remaining Stirling samples this year. However, your goal of Binning 4 pucks of soap is commendable.

    Thanks Joe. Like I previously mentioned, I want to deep-six it by the end of February. Of course, you know how it is to Fitzgerald a soap that doesn't make it to the top ten. Lol!

    Wonderful shave Danny. That brush is simply out of sight. The Ikon looks great.

    Terrific setup and shave Danny. I can only imagine that the relatively mild razor with a Feather blade just bumps up the efficiency.

    Much bettter shave this morning than yesterday. Same arsenal as yesterday. The soap loaded onto the brush in fine fashion. I'm slowly beginning to make prOHgress in soap reduction from the puck. Course it'll take a real long time. The soap(Mama Bear Beau Brummel)looked good on my face and neck. Cheeks&sideburns great. Porcupine Alley great. Cactus Nation pretty good, not great. The Puros aftershave(Razorock)smells great. Zero cuts, Knicks, and Polka-dots. Super Duper Excellent. Now on to a couple days of Magificent Goo shaves

    Great stuff Paul. I love your rating scale. But where do "Pretty Excellent" and "Super Duper Excellent" and "Outta this World Excellent" fall on that scale?

    Gillette Tech - triangle slots.
    Feather blade (3).
    Shore Shave Cool Water Mint Ribbon synthetic brush.
    Lakewood Soap Company Smokeberry shave soap.
    Timeless Razor shave bowl.
    Cremmo Bourbon and Oak EdT

    The little humble Gillette Tech held it own this morning. I picked this one up at a local fleamall for $5.00....hey I ain't passing up a $5.00 razor. :D These are some great razors and a lot of our modern razors are based off of this design. The Shore Shave brush beat the Smokeberry into submission. Three very nice passes!

    Happy humpday everybody!

    SE # 303 - Lavishly Luxurious Shave - The Shave Bowl Event
    “First” Razor Shave - SE - MMBT

    Razor: The first GEM razor in my den. Always delivers an extremely close and comfortable shave.

    Brush: The Shore Shave Cool Water Mint is the newest razor in the den
    Bowl: TSD bowl, just a great piece of craftsmanship.

    Rating: 5 / 5

    Razor: GEM Micromatic Bullet Tip
    Blade: GEM Stainless
    Brush: Shore Shave Cool Mint Water 24 mm Synthetic
    Lather: Declaration Grooming/Chatillon Lux Nefertiti
