    Finished off the trifecta of Central Texas Soaps' Grandpa's Barbershop and Clubman Original A.S, for now. I had the Clubman-Pinaud brush today. (I give it Doc Pinaud's name because Clubman did, too). 0:45, then 0:20 later to load the CTS soap onto the brush. One pass. That's right, ONE pass for a soap shave. First time that's happened, I believe. All-around nice shave. No Knicks/cuts. Outta This World Excellent.

    Rating: 5 / 5

    Razor: Fatip Grande Open Comb
    Blade: Gillette Silver Blue
    Brush: Simpson Trafalgar T2 Sovereign Synthetic
    Lather: Ginger's Garden Obsession Type (1508.5 Project)
    Aftershave: Obsession A/S Balm
    Additional Care:
    Stirling Alum Block

    Fabulous shave prior to Anthony’s soccer game. The weather is still warm for this time of year, however, you can tell a change is on the horizon. I will need to get more hair on my head. :cool:

    The soap is on it’s death bed or I say ship. I have 13 grams of soap left in the container therefore about 4 shaves left. :bounce015:

    Wonderful theee pass shave with the Fatip Grande OC. Super smooth and comfortable shave all around. Smelling good with the EdT.

    Hope you have a great day gentlemen.

    It is nice feeling much better after taking a nice, cold shower. My setup today is lavender scented shaving soap and aftershave. I whipped up a nice lather and man it smelled nice. 2 passes gave me a nice near BBS shave. I did get 2 weeps on my neck and that was due to putting pressure on a blade with 12 prior shaves. I pushed this blade as far as I needed to do so and it will now be binned. Applied the alum block and man did I get some serious feedback! That's what I get for going beyond the useful limit of the blade. Witch hazel definitely was needed. Applied the non-matching lavender aftershave to end this nice shave. I am off to have some breakfast and then 20 min of light cardio at the gym. No need to push too quickly! Have a nice day guys!

    Sometimes a one pass shave is all it takes, Paul! Unfortunately, one pass shaves do not cut it for me. Actually, it really is a good thing because my shaves last longer.

    Perhaps that's something I should do...extend the time of my shaves. Course I don't need to shave my head. I was pleasantly surprised at the one-pass result.

    good afternoon gents.
    had to revisit this fine soap again.
    fabulously slick lather built with the yaqi silvertip.
    smooth 2 passer in the usual manner.
    the polsilver blade was top notch and worked well with the new rfb
    post shave feel is outstanding,no aftershave required.
    but i did anyway..;)
    awesome.:)
