OCtober 18
I have used the Jaws for three days and today's shave was the best of the three. The only difference on all three shaves was one more day on the blade and a different brush and soap each day. Today the Tonsorial was perfect, and the shave was BBS and AGAIG.

new standard today

 

What do you think of the Rustic soap? I have experimented with it and have decided I do not like it by itself. It tends to dry out way to fast for me but if I make a ubelather it seems much better

A great close shave today.

 

I really like it. I find when I use more water it really makes a differences, I get a real creamy lather, which would prevent it from drying out. Try more water? But if the uberlather is working, and you're happy, it's a win win..

Got a decent DFS considering this is the first time I have used this razor and the blade has 18 uses on it. The blade seemed to do a good job, as soon as it gives me any trouble it's gone.
