    I should add, I still have 3 plus the one I'm on now, of the ones phased out. I'll miss those when I'm done with 'em.

    I have a better idea - put down 36,00$ and buy a few more Glacial soaps! ;) (hey, it's up to you!)

    Tabac Tuesday's Shave
    zcws.gif

    Proraso Pre Shave
    Tabac Shaving Soap
    Jayaruh #119
    Schick E3 with custom handle
    Personna Stainless
    CWR
    Thayer's Peach WH
    Pinaud Clubman

    I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Tabac Shave Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #119 brush. I did the two passes with the Schick E3 with custom handle and Personna Stainless blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Peach WH and then Pinaud Clubman AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Tonight's shave was with a plain yet superb razor. I didn't polish this one up much, just left it antiqued looking. It is in good enough condition to take a good shine, but I like some character. I had a very smooth 2 pass shave, that left me near BBS. Zero issues, just smoothness. This is one of my favorite brand of razor, I have several. It's well made, and holds a very keen edge.

    Razor- W.H.Morley & Son's Clover Brand
    Brush- Omega 10098 Boar
    Soap- Arko/Avon Spicy
    Aftershave- Avon Spicy

    Wasn't going to shave today, but said what the heck. Haven't used a DE in a while, sooooo out came the "BeardSlayer" or PAA EVO DOC SS. One nic, 2 weepers and Doc don't slap that newborns buttocks, I'll do the honors thank you. A true 2 pass and a chin buff (nic) and a glorious BBS. Razor is so damn efficient and the exposure is well, not for the feint of heart for sure. But with good technique and an oh so light touch, it's a whisker whacking powerhouse. :kar: Have a great evening and great shaves Gents..... ;)

    Razor: PAA DOC EVO SS
    Blade: Family Dollar SS #1
    Brush: RR F-400 34mm XXL
    Soap: PannaCrema Labdano
    Astringent: DG/Body
    Toner: Manetti & Roberts Rose Water
    W/H: Humphreys Citrus
    A/S Splash: RR New York

    Adjustable (Arko) August!!!

    August 7 - Grand Blade Trials ***Special Razor Trial***

    Razor - QShave (Futur Clone) (Me)
    Blade - [​IMG] (3)
    Soap - Stirling Barber Shop
    Brush - 30DC LE
    Post - Alum

    Final night on the QShave Futur Clone and it's wide open baby. As far as the dial will go and it looks, well, wicked. I'm trusting the LE brush and Stirling to give me a lather that will be super slick and cushy. I may need it.

    I decided not to overthink the angle. Just go with the angle that's been working. The razor is pretty intuitive to use in that way. Make contact with the bottom lip and basically ride the cap at the same time and the blade seems in perfect alignment. The first stroke confirmed I had it right. Great audible feedback as always and the feel was awesome. Smooth but you know you're on the edge of taking more than you want off. Like skin. Second pass was XTG and I even dared a bit of ATG touch up, though I really didn't need it. The baby was easily in the house on this setting as the Voskhod performed like the Russian champion it is. Even in a stupidly aggressive razor!

    Those were three fun shaves. I'm glad I spent the 20 bucks on the razor and stand. Something I'll play with from time to time I'm sure. I can see throwing a few blades at it just to see what happens!

    Tomorrow night we start the run through the Dorco blades using the Fatboy.
