    SHAVE OF THE DAY

    Prep: shower with Smitten Soapery Mr. Cool bath soap (sample- finished)
    Razor: Icon X3, Gillette Tech
    Blade: Gillette Rubie
    Brush: Razorock Plissoft
    Soap: Spiteful Soaps Backstabber
    Post: SC Courage balm


    Pretty decent shave this afternoon. Have been growing my beard back so not much area to shave, although the shave still went well. Small pea sized amount of soap was sufficent for a 2 pass shave. Hope everyone is doing well and getting the best shaves possible!

    Great shave with the Ascension. Excellent smoothness and efficiency with perfect weight and balance. Back off the 1/4 turn to increase blade exposure and feel is superb yet still very smooth. Great first go with this version. Have a great evening and great shaves Gents... ;)

    For me personally there I'd rather not take the time in the morning to take photos, post, etc. It is better to take it the night before and relax. No big deal.

    OCtober Oleo and Odd Balls!!

    October 1

    Razor - 1918 Gillette Old Style
    Blade - [​IMG] (1)
    Soap - Oleo Soapworks El Caballero
    Brush - 30 DE LE
    Post - Alum

    Annnnddddd....we're off! Well, I'm off. Yes, yes, I know in more ways than one, but I did at least get the shave for October 1st in the books. I chose my oldest OC (and razor in fact) for the honors of starting OCtober. I paired it with Sharp Star. The finest Russian steel for the finest old DE razor. El Caballero to get Oleo into play and the 30 day synthetic brush to pay respects to all of you. It's been a fun day around here today. If you are already behind I feel your pain. Already over 200 posts in and we're a day old. Well, two counting yesterday's early start. It's worth a read, though. The shenanigans are out early for the start of Halloween month.

    Three pass shave with a light touch and lots of focus on the angle. I stayed on the cap to give this razor a very nice and mild feel and it rewarded me with a BBS and silence from the alum. No better way to show off some technique with some truly classic gear. Onward and forward we go!

    Skin Bracer Original

    First time combining this soap and aftershave, works really nice together. Worked with the Fatip Grande (V2 head) for a few weeks and I have come to absolutely love it. Combining that and transitioning to shaving every other day resulted in a great BBS irritation free shave. The mug I acquired from the General Store in a small rural town in northern Illinois working as a property manager of a retreat center, the last town I lived in in Illinois that I will never forget.
