Thank you for your kind words and we got back from our camping trip, yesterday.

 

Thank you.

 

Just for you Andrew.
Yes, it was my starter. Got a great shave.
Truth be told, all one needs is a razor that holds the blade straight and tight. Everything else is just fluff.

 

Started the SEptember celebration with one of my favorite SE razors - the Schick C3. I've been working on my straight technique for most of the past month and the C3 was like magic. Super easy, fantastic reduction, and a smooth, smooth close finish.

Happy shaving everyone - Karl

 

Very nice! My B2 is a little aggressive but I do enjoy the uniqueness of using it.

 

I'm going to do it the Scandinavian way for Saturday morning - no menthol:

Nivea Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Parker R22/Astra day 6
Brutalt Bra S/S
Lubriderm Unscented Moisturizer
Hega A/S Splash

A great Nordic combination - the Brutalt Bra soap is from Norway and the Hega aftershave is from Sweden!

 

I thought you were going to tell us that you were going to shave naked in the snow... or would that be even too cold for Mr. Freeze??

 

Merkur 1904 open comb razor
generic DE blade
Maggards 24mm marble handle synthetic brush
Arko soap
Aqua Velva aftershave

 

Me? I'm scared to even participate in an Ice Bucket Challenge!

 

Just remember the story I told in here about that poor Washington Capitals player, who had to deal with it TWICE in a matter of minutes-doing to himself first, then getting it poured on him by teenagers standing right over him from a balcony, just as he finished drying off from the first one That was FUNNY to see.

 

I never knew about that!

 

Thank You Bill!, I enjoy your posts also!!, Steve

This shave kind of sucked. It was my first shave with the brush and last shave from this blade. The brush will be good with some more use. At least it didnt smell bad.

Gillette Bostonian, Rapira Super Stainless, Frank Shaving Badger, Menthol PSO, Proraso Green, Witch Hazel and Aqua Velva After Shave. An excellent combination for a three pass BBS shave.

 

ooooh...well, it was a couple summers ago, when the Caps got on the ALS bandwagon. Many of them did it. Great way to stay cold in the DC humidity.
