March Madness/Shavettes

March 2

Razor - Feather DX Artist Club (Pain Stick)
Blade -
Soap - Stirling Iced Pineapple
Brush - The Canuck
Post - Alum

Second day of the month is in the books, mostly, but the shave most definitely is. Let's get started down the shavettes in my den, starting with my best pain stick, the Feather DX. What makes it the best? The build quality, design, overall weight and balance and the smooth and natural holder with no extra lip like the SS has. I think the Feather outdoes the Kai Captain in terms of overall quality, though the Kai is a close second to the Feathers. The CJB is a bargain razor that performs well above its price range. If I could only have one and wanted to get the biggest bang for my buck the CJB would get the call.

Naturally, I paired the DX with a Feather Pro blade. I pretty much have eliminated all other blades for pain sticks. I have a few others but this is my go to. It's MENTHOL MONDAY so Iced Pineapple comes out, mostly because I saw it mentioned somewhere on here today. Made me grab it. The Canuck with APshaveco.com SynBad flat top knot made easy work of lathering.

Two passes with some touch ups. WTG then XTG to smooth things out in places. By the time I spend a few days on the painers I'll have them down pat again. For now just getting myself settled back in. I will be using other shavettes this month too so don't worry, plenty of opportunity for bloody messes. As for today, though, smooth and effective to a very ice DFS finish. That's all I could ask for. Hope you enjoyed your Monday. Have a fantastic Tuesday!!

Monday March 2nd Travel SOTN

An okay travel shave tonight but not the greatest secondary to VERY hard water at my hotel. I think I'll toss the Astra Green as well and start fresh tomorrow. Hopefully the Tabac handles the water better . Happy shaves all.
