    At least you gave it an honest try, but admittedly beaches and redheads help.

    Razor: Ever-Ready SE original instructions
    Blade: GEM Personna (3)
    Brush: Shavemac ATG LE The Nisky Silvertip Fan
    Soap: Route 66 Bourbon Jungle
    Aftershave: Route 66 Bourbon Jungle Balm

    Like the first shot in an ambush Bourbon Jungle has your attention immediately, the moment you open the container. It's rich woody notes of Italian Bergamot, Apple Wood and Tonka Bean rounded by hints of Patchouli, Cedarwood, and Oakmoss, with exotic notes of Cardamom, Vanilla Bourbon and Allspice.
    Handcrafted traditional shaving soap formulated for long lasting, slick lather, protective cushion and glide with a soothing post shave conditioning. It just can't be beat. You can order yours today at, http://www.retroshaveshop.com/product/bourbon-jungle/.

    Here is a picture of the original instruction. I don't believe I've posted them for a while.

    Off focus or refocus or not sure.

    My focus this month was to use the same set up three days in row, it was tough than I expected. While it is helpful to stick with the same setup I crave the variety. I am thinking about changing my focus to unfocused or comparing finishing hones, Shapton glass 16k vs Zulu Grey.

    On to today's shave. Today's razor is a Dovo Bismarck 2 and this is the second shave after touching it up on a Zulu Grey. The rest of the set up was Shavemac silver tip and Route 66. Four passes and the edge is very very smooth. Zero irritation, zero blood and smooth face.

    Irritation A+ Closeness A Smoothness A+ Sharpness A
