SoS: August 3, 2015 - August 9, 2015

Razor: Gillette Executive (1960)(8)
Blade: Gillette Platinum (7)
Brush: WDC-4, Silvertip Badger, Butterscotch. (VIG) 24/67
Cream: Lavena
Bowl: Old Spice Late Glass Mug 04, 1970's- 1992
A/S: Ship's Magic & Whitestar, Commemorative Flask, 1989-1991- The canteen shape bottle celebrates the Ship Magic, the winner of the first America's Cup race.
The Flask is full so I use a new Classic Old Spice A/S.
Day 9
I used the razor on #8 this evening and although I got a great shave I believe #7 is my best setting. The cream I won in a PIF and I can't type the name on the tube as my keyboard doesn't have these character's. Last night for the Executive. I'll start with a Gillette Slim Adjustable tomorrow. I'll also use the same type of blade and brush to continue this focus. I'll use a different cream also as I wasn't that pleased with the Lavena. There is a Old Spice puck in the bowl, but I don't use it either.

 

Here's my take on the Feather AS-D2. The machining is first-rate. The blade is held securely in all four corners - tightly. The weight is hefty, but comfortable. The shave is ultra-smooth. I can buff easily. Some people complain that the razor is too mild; and if you have a really thick, tough beard, I can see their point. But for the average face, the AS-D2 will provide you with a BBS shave daily and it is easily the finest DE razor produced today. IMO.
The Bay Rum is a glass bottle.
Thanks for the compliments.

 

Thanks for taking the time to respond to my question. Also thank you a complete answer.
