    Amazing 3-pass BBS. This razor isn't sold anymore. When I first bought it, it was cheap and resembled a very expensive Joris model. For many months I had a very tough time getting a decent shave out of it. I never gave up and decided to keep rotating different blades to find out if any blade might work in it for a good shave. Well, BiC Chrome-Platinum REALLY made the difference in this razor. A bigger difference in this razor than any blade in any other razor made. Now I get incredible shaves out of this.

    I don't really talk about the great shaves I get out of it since it's not sold anymore and it was just a cheap knockoff........unfortunately.....the DaveOcean 33 knockoff was made about as cheaply as its price. The 'gold' is wearing off of a few spots. This has me lamenting. The first 8 months I owned it, I was ready to throw it out, but now I don't want to throw it out, but it's looking like it's wearing. I may have to pursue a pricy Joris razor. My only concern is if I will be able to get the same great shaves out of the pricey Joris as I've gotten from this cheap knockoff? If I spring for the expensive Joris it will be one expensive experiment. For now, the DaveOcean still has some life left in it before it becomes too ugly to display.

    The Mama Bear glycerin soaps don't get much love from the shaving community anymore it seems, but when I use my preshave oil with it I get a great shave with the stuff. Wonderful, wonderful scent too. I nearly never mention Kevin's aftershaves because they are so effective a formula that I have taken them for granted recently. I always get the classic sting and subsequent cooling effect and calming of irritation. Sometimes the bullet-proof products that literally give 'automatic' great shaves can blur into the back round and not get talked about because they are reliable. If you want a little something more out of your aftershave, Kevin's Country Club for Men line is top-shelf. He's who I turn to for my special project aftershaves and I'm NEVER disappointed with his results.

    Semogue SOC
    Henry Taylor 5/8

    I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Colgate Shaving Mug Soap face-lathered well with the Semogue SOC brush. I did two passes with the Henry Taylor 5/8 straight and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Peach WH and then Florida Water. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Good morning friends. A fine three pass shave today with the Muhle R41 fitted with a Personna blade. Fantastic lather from the Razorock Mudder Focker shave soap. I finished with Old Spice...smooth and refreshed. Enjoy your day friends. ☺️

    Very plain, no-frills, and basic for today:

    C. W. Beggs Facial Wash
    Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
    Super Speed/new Wilkinson
    Nivea SC
    Prep ASB

    It's been a hell of a long time since I've used a Wilkinson blade but it seemed to work well. The Nivea cream is to me nothing special but it definitely gets the job done. The Prep.....I love it. BBS in two easy passes.

    Have a great Saturday!
