    Razor: Gillette Injector G4
    Blade: Ted Pella (4)
    Brush: Unknown Brand
    Soap: Italian Barber
    Pre Shave Oil: Homemade
    AS: Nivea Balm/Brut Splash On
    Newspaper Date: Jan. 11,1944

    The only trouble with having such a great razor is, BBS `s become boring (you think?). Two passes, ATG/WTG, so smooth and easy, one becomes complacent, but then again, I like all things shiny. How can one describe an event so easily accomplished. But I`m going to ride the injector train to the end. This must be the 3rd BBS in a row WHOOPEE!! Gee, you couldn`t tell I am a Happy Camper, huh? Wishing the same for all.

    image.jpeg Razor: Feather AS-D2 2015
    Brush: Vintage Ever-Ready 300L with TGN Silvertip 18/51 by ObiDon 2015
    Mug: Old Spice (late glass Mug 02) 1964 – 1978
    Cream/soap: The Body Shop Maca Root cream
    Blade: Feather (1)
    Post shave: Thayers Cucumber WH, Nivea Men Post Shave Balm, Cerruti 1881

    Locked in the Feather blade in the Feather and off we go. Whipped up some good thick lather with the silvertip in the Old Spice mug. A nice 2 pass shave, with some touch up on my neck. This razor is easy to get carried away with, so I have to be careful not to over buff an area, or I will pay. Finished with the WH, and then some Nivea for a change of pace. After cleanup some Cerruti 1881. Y'all have a good one!

    My frozen solid experience from the Glacial Eskimo Tuxedo soap, the Lucky Tiger a/s cream, and the Rubby Dubby Doo aftershave was such a delight and I also got an awesome BBS shave. My Plissoft brush gave me so much rich, slick lather in just 25 swirls and the Junjie/Astra combination cleaned me up so easily! :happy088: :happy088:

    Great BBS shave today in three passes, XTG both directions then ATG. The VDH Deluxe performed great as usual, if I only had a very limited budget this would be the soap I would choose, great performance, clean scent, killer price. Have a great day everyone

    Still on the wedge focus. Today's shave lesson was about proper stropping. I quickly dulled a blade I had just refreshed. I didn't think the play in the stropping attachment mattered much until I saw how I wasn't making even contact during a lap when I adjusted my grip to take up the slack from the play. I've since adjusted the attachment to fit nice and tight in the handle. :happy088:

    Prep: Warm shower
    Blade: GEM Stainless

    Brush: Satin Tip 'The Purest' synthetic
    Lather: Williams Mug Soap
    Post: Witch hazel splash, Mennen Skin Bracer, Nivea sensitive balm
    WTG, touch-up

    Pretty good shave today with the GEM Featherweight and Williams Mug Soap. A little more burn from the Skin Bracer today than yesterday. But I'm pretty smooth with one pass and touch-up. The Williams performed pretty well again today.

    I hope you all have a great day!
