    Tuesday OCtober 15

    I used one of my favorite razors, a Leresche #54. I particularly like the long open combs on this razor and using this when I've got a week or more of beard growth. But today I'm using this after shaving the day before and the shave was smooooooth. I also started a new blade today, a Gillette Platinum (Swede).

    Bowl/Scuttle - GP12
    Soap - Caties Bubbles Barnegat Bay (I am from NJ)
    Brush - Alpha Outlaw Fanchurian
    Blade - Gillette Platinum (1)
    Razor - Leresche #54 (France)
    Post Shave - OSMA Pierre alum, Clubman Reserve Whiskey Woods

    Shave rating 5 of 5

    I did a two pass shave today; pass 1 WTG and was DFS+, pass 2 XTG was easy BBS. This is a very good and smooth shaving razor and, as noted above, one of my favorites. The Barnegat Bay soap has a nice scent and lathered and lubricated well. I had no nicks or anything close to a weeper - the alum was very quiet. I'm not sure whether the Whiskey Woods compliments the scent of the Barnegat Bay soap or not but I don't really care, I really like the Whiskey Woods.

    Overall, a great shave. Tomorrow I'm deviating from my OC focus this month for my birthday shave with my F4 Fatboy. Then I'll be back with a few more French and English razors that will be the razors for my next few shaves this week.

    Happy OCtober and great shaves everyone.
