While poking around my stash o'stuff yesterday I ran across these blades. Don't know when I got them or where, but there they were so I thought "Let's see how long one can last". So, according to legend, I may be shaving with this razor/blade combo for awhile. Oh, how was the shave? Just delightful; smooth, close and very comfortable and my face is very very happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.

My very biased opinion is most definitely yes! Great value and that Beehive handle just works. 28mm probably wastes some soap, but it’s worth it for the face feel.

 

A careful balancing act, Andrew. I have years of experience (laughing while typing this as I have had so many falls with my gear. Good thing the gear is so robust and I haven't damaged any of my brushes and razors; bowls are another thing).

Apparently Duluth Trading Co. store has opened in Golden, CO, where I begin my journey net week. Maybe I can "sniff" some Ogallala BR for future consideration .

 

Fantastic SOTD!!
I've been using this setup for 4 days now and I must say I've been blown away, Dr.Jons Soap is IMHO one of the most underrated soap makers in wet shaving.
The RazoRock Game Changer is everything I want in a razor and some, I used a PolSilver blade.
Tuxedo Snowman is awesome, Evil Eye is great smelling and healing.
If you're interested in a really good deodorant check out RazoRock The Best Deodorant on Earth, this is a citrus scent.

 

SLOC (Yaqi)/Bic. Mild but effective. Whoever is the OEM behind this they did a fine job with it.

TOBS Grapefruit SC
Plissoft Brush
Schick Type L with Japanese Schick Injector II blade
Alum
Witch Hazel lotion
Speick AS
James Bronnley Original EDT

My first shave with an Injector II. I received a BBS shave , not as aggressive as I was led to believe .

 

Pre: Cold water face wash
Brush: WDC-8, Maseto 24mm 2BF
Soap: PAA Solstice
Razor: Gem MMCP
Blade: Gem SS
Post: Cold water rinse, Floid Mentolado Vigoroso ASL

More than thirty hours of stubble stood no chance against the Clog Pruf and the combination of Solstice and Floid has left my skin soft and toned.
Happy Shaving one and all.
