Great setup Clint! Love the Roll.

 

Thank you Mark. I love this monster brush.

 

1919 Penn Adjustable. Billy made heroic efforts to hack the Penn a couple years ago (which can be done but is involved), but I decided to go stock. Solid DFS with some touch ups (ATG is not to be expected with these blades), much better than expected.

Wonderful shave this morning, it's been too long since I've used a soap from Route 66. Fantastic scent, great protection and the razor just slid across my face. One pass with the Supply and two with the Chimera and I ended up just short of a BBS shave. The Penhaligon's is a great match to this soap, I love the scent and post shave feel. This was a great way to start the day. Have a great day folks!

Not the best but close. Try a lather catcher to get the best. YMMV of course.. but probably not.

 

Okay guys, I was in RiteAid and saw these blades as well as the RiteAid brand. I read the back and they're manufactured by the American Safety Razor Co. I believe that's who makes the GEM correct? Are these boys any good?

 

GEM, Treet, Personna, Ted Pella, Star, Rite Aid, Quickie Mart, CVS are all the same manufacturer. Some have said the Treet is ok, it would be a carbon blade.

Thanks. Guess I'll keep 'em and give 'em a whirl.

 

Schick type F on deck for tomorrow. Ive got it loaded with a modded Schick Proline blade

PAL S/S Adjustable - No 1
Schick "Chick" [ 2 ]
Alum Rub/Rinse off
Williams Aqua Velva A/S Lotion

After the Supply Single Edge just had to be a PAL outing.Can guarantee a nice smooth shave with the PAL,
today perhaps not as close as I get with other PALs in the stable. Quite odd how the same model of Razor
can shave differently.

 

You Sir have hit the jackpot. Those are outstanding blades. Just remember to dry them off after you finish. They are smooth from the first shave to the last. That is how I feel about them. I prefer the CS over any of the SS blades.

Proceed down the path....

That's a cool photo of one of my all time favorite razors!

 

SOTD May 3, 2017

Blade: Feather Pro
Razor: RazoRock Black Hawk
Brush: JR #60 synthetic
Lather: Fine Platinum
Post: Witch hazel, Fine Platinum aftershave
WTG, touch-up

Continuing with the Black Hawk. Nice shave yet again. I really like the Fine software and the Hawk worked very nicely yet again. Good shave - have a great day!

 

So, I'm three shaves into this foray.
Things are going good. But at the risk of angering my SE brothers, my NEW/GSB or SA-109/Voskhod give a closer shave. That being said I now have another vintage tool in the toolbox.
