Thursday Shave: The Kent BK12 is monster plus I over loaded it with CF, I had enough for at least 10 passes. This brush would be a joke due to its size but it is giant soft cloud. The edge was wonderful today Super smooth and very sharp. Nailed an epic shave.

OCtober!!! October 4 Razor - Gillette New LC Delta Echo Raffle Winner Blade - (1) Soap - Soap Commander Courage Brush - Stirling Synthetic Post - Alum After being asked earlier if I preferred the Old Type or the New, I decided to use the New LC the next three shaves. I had great shaves from the OT and Voskhod, so let's just compare. The New isn't as aggressive as the OT so I also decided to throw a bone to the Yakuza (and to pay respects to Charlie) and load up a Feather. Sharp blade, medium aggressive razor, should be a good match. The Stirling synthetic brush is nice and big and made quick work of loading the Soap Commander. Got a great slick and cushy lather and went to work. I used the same basic approach with this setup as I did the OT. Ride the cap and let the razor do the work. Two passes and some neck touch up and I have a very nice DFS in the house. One minor nick on my right neck but nothing to write home about. Overall a great shave and the alum was only stinging in a couple of minor spots in addition to the nick. Smooth and effective are the words that come to mind.

OCtober 5, 2017 Wolfman WR1 OC Feather Rudy Vey Rover with TGN Finest CRSW Jeff’s Soap Floid Blue I find the Wolfman OC standard gap razor to be a great combination of efficiency and smoothness which delivered a great shave this morning. The little Rover loaded an lathered the Jeff's Soap easily. I enjoyed the scrub during face lathering. I decided to stick with a traditional three pass shave paying attention to my trouble spots and skin stretching. With minimal touch ups and an additional 1/4 pass on my lower right neck, I caught the baby. A splash of Floid Blue and I am off for the day. I hope everyone has a great Thursday.
