    Place the Proline in the blade tray as you'd want it, slide the original Enders blade right over it and it will keep the Proline blade secure. For best results cut the edge off the Enders blade so it can be fully inserted and can click into place.

    Post: Oleo Soapworks~ Seibo Aftershave and Balm

    Today was the first time shaving with an AutoStrop razor. Thank you @Jayaruh for lending it to me so I could experience it myself. It took me a bit halfway through the shave to find the correct angle, but once I did, the AutoStrop went to work! Overall I really enjoyed using this razor made a century ago.

    Seibo is a completely unique scent from any other set I used so far. Simply put, it smells of delicious and rich chocolate. The duck fat base of the Oleo soap provided a great barrier to any irritation and a smooth shave. Finishing it off with the matching aftershave and post shave balm left my skin feeling sensational.

    SHAVE OF THE DAY
    20190113_135201.jpg

    Prep: Pre Shave Soap Mix
    Razor: Fat Handle Tech
    Blade: Pol-Silver
    Brush: Yaqi Synthetic
    Soap: Envy Shave- Winter Forage
    Post: Stirling- Ozark Mountain Balm


    Oh man! What a incredible shave this morning, managed a super smooth BBS and was very impressed with the results of todays shave.

    Winter Forage has a silghtly piney scent, somewhat complex and prefect for this time of year.

    Performance of Envy Shave soap is exceptional IMO. Tried to overload the lather with water on the last pass and it still kept going. This is a soap that really likes water and provided a ton of slickness. This soap has surprised me each time i use it, really good stuff. Finished the shave off with some Ozark Mountain Balm to keep the Winter theme going. Hope everyone had a swell shave!

    Preheated brass bowl and old burma brush
    shavette w/new sputnik blade
    nivea body shave stick
    sink of cool water
    Master's Impulse a/s

    Did a face wash with warm water.Loaded the brush on the stick and built a heavy creamy lather.Did 2 passes and a touchup with no irritation.I may have to go back to TJ Maxx and grab a few more of the Nivea.I was unsure of what a/s to use as it is cool and damp.Therefore no menthol or aquatic types.Finally settled on Impulse ,to me a bay-leather scent.Added a few drops of glycerine and massaged it into the skin and rubbed it through my beard and hair.

    I just spent the last hour trying to find my Enders blades. I was unsuccessful. However, I did try to load an injector blade in my Enders razor. That was tricky. I figure if I ever find my Enders blade, I should be able to use it to hold the injector blade in it. Hey, while I was typing this, it occurred to me that there may be an old Enders blade in my "old blade bank." I may open it up and take a look. I will be careful.
