    Another wonderful shave - this time with the MITA soap. Lots of rich, slick lather and a great menthol punch which was enhanced by the Penguin! :)

    30 day Focus - Day 21
    MDC Lavender Face Lathered w/ TOBS Rose
    Rapira Stainless Blade (Day 1 on blade, Day 3 on Rapira Swedish Stainless)
    Slim Adjustable set to 8
    3 passes

    There was a post on this board yesterday that mentioned TOBS Rose. This is one of my favorites. I dabbed a little on my cheeks this morning before face lathering the Lavender MDC. This is a great combination for both scent and shave quality. 3 passes and ready to face the day.



    I am continually amazed at how well MDC performs.

    Prep: Hot Shower. Axe Energizing Face Wash Boost
    Razor: Mongoose B3 Dr. Bomber Handle
    Blade: Feather Professional
    Brush: Omega 10098
    Lather: Stirling Executive Man
    Post: Alum. Thayers Cucumber WH. Gold Bond Ultimate
    Aftershave: Stirling Executive Man
    I took the training wheels off the Mongoose and went with a little bit more of a aggressive blade, fantastic results! The Omega 10098 is a beast of a brush! I really like the handle, I'll continue to break it in for the next week.

    Wasn't that. The Wife and I both had to be up at the same time but hot water is limited, so I took care of all that at midnight.

    The shave is good but not quite as close/long lasting as what a Trac II gives. Even if I could afford it and didn't have DE, the Sensor is not a top level cart I would ever consider buying regularly.

    Me too! I need to use it more often. It's the downside to having a lot of soaps. You sometime neglect soaps that you know are
    great!

    straight/ single edge Saturday
    hot water wash with nivea men's and a washcloth
    Ralph Lauren safari silvertip
    BOMBED TSD iced pink grapefruit
    Rolls razor(46)
    Clauss 5/8 full hollow round end
    c.o.bigelow white label balm
    today's shave was ok. the rolls was sropped in it's own mechanism(30 laps). three passes with it left me with an ok shave. really nice in spots, weak in others. I decided to do a cleanup pass with the Clauss. it was much easier to maneuver, but I did bump the end of my nose looking at something else. resulted in a little blood. the straight is easier to clean after use than the rolls. finished with bigelow white.
    hope y'all did as well, or better. 20150822_103931.jpg

    I just heard back from Fine, March 2013 is when he went into production, my square bottle didn't have a long run because they were difficult to ship.
