    I'm confused... What's with the 1/2 blade?

    SHAVE OF THE DAY
    20160604_133733.jpg

    Prep: Musgo Real orange amber
    Razor: Gillette Redtip
    Blade: Astra SP (4th shave)
    Brush: RazoRock plissoft
    Soap: Stirling British Leather
    Post: Reef Point Aviator balm



    2 pass smooth shave early this morning. Went with Stirling soap, love the scent of British Leather. Not sure what I have been doing different, but I have been getting a different consistancy lather latley, no Bubbles and a pastey consistancy. It has been working out well, so no complaints. Finished off with Aviator balm, very nice leather scent and nice menthol touch. Hope everyone has a great shave!

    Saturday Shower/Shave
    [​IMG]
    Shower- Noxzema facial cleaner, Dr. Bronner's All-One Hemp Citrus bar soap
    Brush- RazoRock Tri-Colored
    Razor- Muhle R41 on a Maggard MR5 handle
    Blade- Gillette Silver Blue (2)
    Soap- TSD Killer Queen lanolin
    Post Care- Thayers Witch Hazel with grapefruit EO
    CK One cologne

    First try of the newest TSD creation Killer Queen today and I loved it. The menthol along with the ice water really helped cool me down, Phoenix is slightly hot today. I also really like the scent and it lathered easily. I'm very glad I purchased it. Second day on the GSB and I don't know if I'm going to find a better blade for the R41. My next shave will be be with a Voskhod. Three passes for a BBS shave. Have a great day folks!

    Blade: Personna lab blue
    Razor: Maggard MR1 with V2OC
    Lather: Tabac shave stick
    Brush: Satin Tip synthetic
    Post: Witch hazel splash, Nivea sensitive balm
    WTG, touch-up

    No picture today. Out of town for a family wedding. Pretty good shave. The Tabac lathered up very easily but always seems to dry out on my neck. I probably should use a little more water.

    First time using a DE is about 5 weeks. I've been on injectors and SEs. I think SEs and injectors are leading in my books. I really like them.

    Hope you all have a great day!

    Razor: BV3
    Blade: Schick (1)
    Brush: Omega 10066 Boar
    Soap: Eufros Terre Humeda
    A/S: Myrsol Metilsol Astringent
    The Bunny V3 arrived yesterday, very well packed and in perfect condition. Thanks @Spud. :happy088:
    I used the Notso setting again and it is perfect for me. I find it hard to believe how effortlessly this razor removes stubble. I do my 3 passes with a touch of cleanup and doesn't even feel like I've shaved. Cold water rinse, feel my face, and a darn near BBS, much to my surprise.
    I know Tom is looking for information to tweak and perfect his razor, but in my opinion, and from my shaves you are already there Tom. To everyone else YMMV.
    I have re thought my opinion of the rivets and/or screws. I would stick with the rivets.

    For sure, Tabac can take so much water it is almost a Ripley's Believe it or Not! It lathers up SO quickly when you hit it with the brush, a guy thinks it is ready to go. Spend time one it once; like you are fiddling with Williams again.

    image.jpeg Razor: Gillette Super Speed TTO "Red" Flair Tip A3 1955 with the original case, blade pack with instructions.
    Brush: Vintage Ever-Ready 675 badger
    Mug: Old Spice 1985 Cobalt Blue
    Cream: Route 66 Bourbon Jungle
    Blade: Feather (1)
    Post shave: Thayers Cucumber WH, Jack Black balm, Tommy Bahamas Very Cool

    Just got this beautiful razor in the mail today and just had to give it a try. This razor looked really nice on the bay, but in real life it looks new. I'm very happy with the whole package. It's a heavy razor, not unlike my FB. Swirled up some Bourbon Jungle into my favorite OS mug. The Ever-Ready 675 whipped up some nice warm lather. The Red Tip made quick work in 2 passes WTG XTG. A little touchup on my neck ATG and done. I'm not sure if I would call it aggressive, it's a lot like my FB on 5. I think I'll keep it. The Cucumber WH felt good, nice and cool. After cleanup some JB and when it dried, some Tommy Bahamas Very Cool, very nice! Y'all have a good one!

    Had a great shave today, where my Stirling Gin and Tonic ended up bowl lathered with a TON of M-Bomb in my Captain's bowl that had a bunch of Route 66 Sea and Citrus still pressed into the grooves. The two scents meshed amazingly well, the bomb worked it's magic, and it made a PERFECT lather.

    Happy weekend, Everyone!
