SoS: November 2018

How are you liking the Vector?

 

And now.......a feature I haven't done in a long time.....this morning's shower:

Bodywash-Dial 4 Men(Ultimate Clean)
Deodorant Soap-Dial(Mtn. Fresh Scent)
Shampoo-Clubman Country Club
Deodorant(post-shave)-Mennen Speed Stick (Power Fresh)

 

The phrase "smooth and efficient" that's used in so many reviews truly applies to the Vector. I have five shaves with it. The last four have been three pass BBS with zero feedback from the alum. I find the razor to be nimble and balanced. This razor is the only SE I have so I have nothing to compare it to. Right now I have no regrets with the purchase.

Weber DLC razor
Gillette Spoiler blade
WD Synthetic brush
C.O. Bigelow SC
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
C.O. Bigelow 1585 cologne

Mighty fine shave to start the week with. I find the Spoiler blades to be the best I've ever used. Wish they were still available. My face is happy though. Now go enjoy your day folks.

 

Pre: Warm water splash
Brush: Vie-Long 13052 Horse
Soap: Vitos Red
Razor: Bigelow-Parkin (on loan)
Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Yellow
Post: Warm then cold water rinse, Epsilon Blue Med ASL

The super slick Vitos lather brought out the very best from the Bigelow-Parkin.
This is more than just a gimmick, it's a very good razor.
Happy Shaving one and all.

NIVEA MEN NIGHT SHAVE!
Body Shave stick - used just for the face - great drugstore shave stick (only one I have ever seen at Drugstore - not sure if it will get restocked, not a hot seller) I love this stick!

 

Still trying to find a reason to not like the Cooper 3 piece razor, can't find one at all!

Razor: Gillette SE Guard
Shave cream: Neutrogena Sensitive
No pic, too busy with medications

Very good shave with the SE cartridge (7). Smooth sailing all the way. Close to a BBS. What I wanted to convey is I am supposed to get the Parthenon Razor tomorrow that I bought on TDS market place. I always feel like a little kid at Christmas when I get a new(to me) razor. Can hardly wait to try it. I`m 83, maybe I`m in my 2nd childhood. God bless, Bill

 

Koraat 8/8
H.I.S. XL Brush

Wow! A dry shave? Not even water?

 

Greetings! Is that a PAA Starcraft brush? And if so, do you like it? The synthetic knot looks similar to my AP shave company silk smoke knot that I absolutely love (seen below) - I used it today BTW with my Ogallala Bay Rum and sandalwood shave stick. Works great for face or bowl lathering. I like the look of the starcraft brush and was interested in purchasing one. Thank you for your thoughts / incite.

Great looking brush.

 

TBH, it's a steal at twenty couple dollars after shipping from Canada. I also picked up one of their Synbad knots secondhand from a forum member (very happy he didn't want it)... Also a steal for that knot - so soft on the face. They could easily charge double what they sell their brushes for and still probably sell a bunch of them.
