    Greetings,

    A new shave set up to start the weekend...It's been a while since I last added the Parker Premium Platinum blades to my blade rotation....They aren't the sharpest of blades, but are very smooth and forgiving Pairing together with the efficient 89r wonderfully.

    A enjoyable 2 pass + pick ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a few small squirts of Denim Original EdT to the chest & pulse points.

    My face is feeling silky smooth & smelling old school divine.;)

    Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

    Fine shave Barry. I am a firm believer of using the right blade/razor combo. I prefer more efficient razors, but I can still get good shaves with mild ones. Enjoy your day.

    Brush: Hembree Derlin Paragon Boar 25 mm
    Lather: Van Yulay Royal Oudh

    Excellent Saturday morning shave. I am looking and smelling good at the barbershop. Anthony is getting a haircut prior to having his Christmas photo later this morning. It should be an adventure with the two dogs joining in a few of the pictures.

    Another three pass shave that has my face feeling uber smooth. The Hembree Derlin brush easily produced a nice lather. The Van Yulay soap provided a slick ride for the razor. No run, drips or errors in this shave.

    It is finally feeling like Fall here in the Northeast. Joe, @Trigger, is going to have to dig out his Parker. Have a great day gentlemen.

    I've been using the Shake Sharp every day for 10 days or so, sometimes accompanied by the Vib'Raz taking beard duty. Going through a bit of a crisis of confidence as to why I keep my modern razors which don't shave as well. Selling my Paradigm felt good. More to go. Twin Tian Li blades ($4/100) in the Shake Sharp for the head shave, not particularly smooth but effective, no second lather necessary, nor any pick-ups for the Enders Speed. Tatra blade in the Vib'Raz which I had used along with Falcons in the Shake Sharp with great satisfaction. MDC Vetiver, a second brain bowl, thanks to sale at Pasteur.[​IMG]

    My GE Jones ShakesSharp always gives me a great headshave. I have used different blades and really never had a problem.

    That would have been my guess, Joe. :) Now to answer your question-shave nirvana is always welcomed by my face and neck.

    Well, once again I listed my shave in a different thread, so I'll do it here and comment on it.
    prep-Nivea 4 Men Bodywash(Fresh Wave)in shower
    shave-Stoylin Ramblin' Man
    brush-Clubman Shave Brush*
    razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot + DisposeABLE
    A.S.-Stoylin Ramblin' Man

    *    -maybe someday Jim will come up with a special name for this.

    I just got a note from Clubman asking me to review the brush. This was my second time putting it to use. It's quite good.0:35 loading time was good enough with this small powerhouse. 1 Knick, no cuts. 2 passes. The Stoylin A.S. is nice. Super Duper Excellent.. Going to a wedding later :).

    Problems unknown. If $4/100 Tian Li will work anything will.
