Very nice setup and picture with a good brush hidding in the background.

 

Just a home made brush using an e-cig mod body and rubber grip from a flashlight.

Another great shave this morning. With 17 shaves on the blade, about the best I can achieve is a DFS. But that is not bad for a work morning. I finished up the Mystic Water Eucalyptus & Spearmint soap today. I enjoyed the soap and look forward to trying some of the new formula in the future. Finished off the shave with a splash of F&C Capri. I hope everyone has a great Tuesday.

 

Clint are you going to continue to push the blade farther ?

 

Yes Andrew I am going to push the blade until it drops. It is almost impossible to get a BBS with the blade at this point but I am still getting solid DFS to near BBS shaves at this point.

An outstanding close comfortable shave. The razor, brush, soap, and aftershave impress more each time I use them.

The Personna 74 just keeps going with another very good shave this morning. Three passes and minimal touch ups ended with a smooth comfortable shave. As usual the Route 66 was easy to whip into a rich slick lather. Finished up the the shave with a splash of Fine L'Orange Noir. I hope everyone has a great Wednesday.

 

Good morning amigo. Eighteen shaves with one blade. That is amazing. I've never tried to see how long a blade would last. For me it's seven and out. I guess that will be my next project, unless another Tres Amigo, well you know. Have a great day! Excellent setup and picture Clint.

 

Good morning Doug. For me on DE blades this truly amazing. I am usually 3 shaves and out on DE blades. I replaced the knots in several brushes for Mark and he sent me two of these blades as a thank you. So I had to give them try. Thank you for the kind words and I hope you have a great day as well.

 

New Omega brush(antique store find), very soft! I haven't been able to get a really good lather with Tabac.... And the NEW LC is a little rough, but overall good results.

 

Good picture.

Excellent three pass shave with a bit of a clean up around my chin. The shave soap The Black Pearl is reminiscent of exotic spice cargos of yore this mysterious fragrance sets sail with fresh, herbal top notes over soft floras and a medley of spices. Accented with a smoky depth of vetiver, myrrh and wood grass. Excellent soap.

 

Lovely brush Doug

Thanks very much Clint. It is a joy to use.

 

Love that brush

 

Thank you Kathleen. I along with @Boojum1 and @Douglas Carey managed to get matching brushes as a tribute to our friendship that developed here on TSD.

This makes 19 shaves in with the vintage Personna 74. I am still managing to get a decent shave but it is not nearly as close. I know some manage 28-30 shaves so I will keep going. Reef Point is a soap that does not get much attention but I find it to have top notch performance. The soap is easy to whip into a rich slick lather. I truly enjoy the scent of Dragon's Blood. I finished off the shave with a splash of Fine Platinum. I hope everyone has a great Thursday.

 

Nice set up amigo.
