Result: :anifrozen :freezing :anifrozen :freezing Not a bad shave with the Clog Pruf MM. Not bad at all. Much better than I remember my OCMM being. It's still going to take some work to perfect the technique some, but DFS for sure! I used the soap puck as a shave stick, worked great! :anifrozen :happy088

  [*]A/S: Thayer's Lavender Witch Hazel Toner & Clubman Club Complete ASB

The '48 Super Speed has special meaning, my birth year razor, and it also make for a great shave when paired with the SharpEdge blade.

Note to self: After you have a great close shave, stop at one less pass the next day when using the MM OC.

 

Kev - the OCMM bite you? A bit raw? What do you mean stop at one less shave? Do you mean pass?

 

Little raw today. You are always helping me with my words and spelling....:happy102

 

Domingo/Sunday
Boots shavestick
Semogue 1520 boar brush
Rocket HD with IP
Proraso AS

The Boots shavestick performed really well.Its a nice vegetal based soap.The scent is not my fav. one but its not bad also.

 

T, if I would have known you like the Boots stick, I would have sent you the extra one I had. I gave it away to one of my employees. :ashamed001

 

I used to like the old formulation one;had a different scent and was a good shavestick.However this new formulation is good too,but the scent is not one of the best ones(not close to Palmolive,old Erasmic,La Toja....)Thanks for the offering though.Im sure that one of your employees is happy using it and that was nice of you mr.freeze gentleman!
