Good to know. Thanks Jeff.

 

Awesome shave Gary! Enjoy your Sunday.

 

thank you Joe,yourself as well.

 

I agree. Thanks Jeff for letting Eric know about the Softguard blades.

 

I'd agree Joe....Edge is a thick cream/gel....you're protected, so long as you go carefully.

 

Gary.

 

Joe.

 

Like I need to spend more $$

 

That's what happens in this hobby. Lol! I am in a semi no buy this year.

 

Me too. Except I bought half a dozen Stirling soaps in January. So weak!

 

just boxed up 7+ more razors.off to a new home..

 

Great shaves Joe. Thanks for the video. I appreciate you sharing your expertise with all of us.

~~~ My Shave ~~~
Pre-shave: Van Der Hagen Shave Butter
Lather: House of Mammoth "Tobacconist"
Brush: PAA Atomic Rocket
Razor: Schick Yaqi Final Cut Adjustable DE (3, 3, 2)
Blade: Tatra Platinum (4)
Post-shave: Nivea Sensitive balm



This was my first shave with this razor and it was a good one. The adjustment dial is numbered 1 to 6 but it goes beyond that to essentially 9. I kept it on 3 for the first and second passes, finishing on 2. The Tatra blade continues to impress me and I could definitely feel it. This is an efficient razor with lots of blade feel.

This is also my first use of a House of Mammoth soap which was unsurprisingly fantastic based on all the reviews I've seen. Tobacconist is an exceptional tobacco fragrance blended with wood, fruit, spice...the list goes on. It's one of the more complex scents I've tried and I understand why people love it.

The combination of these two gave me a very smooth and close BBS result. Definitely one of my best first shaves with any razor. It left me wanting to shave more and looking forward to my next shave. 10/10.

 

Thank you Joe.

 

Thank you Jeff.

 

Great Valet shave, Gary!

 

Thanks Eric, I appreciate it.

Congrats on an excellent maiden shave with the Yaqi Adj. Razor and the House of Mammoth Tobacconist soap. I have seen some youtubers use House of Mammoth soaps and the lathers are super. I am not at all surprised you has a fantastic shave using that soap.

 

Thank you Gary.

 

Fabulous shave Eric. I am sure the lather monster, the PAA Atomic Rocket, whipped up an awesome H of M lather.

 

It absolutely did. I had a luxurious three-pass shave with pick-ups with plenty to spare. It was the first brush I bought when I started back last year. Talk about dumb luck.

 

thank you Jeff.like it the new handle.
