Superb photo and gear!

 

I never read that many comics when younger, but enjoy them more as an adult. I got into them when the Tim Burton Batman movie came out. The Dark Knight is awesome. I am a big Batman fan, but ever since Disney/Marvel started making the Avenger series movies I have become a huge greek of all that is super Hero. I used to love watching the Stan Lee reality show Who Wants to be a Super Hero. I know that it was extremely corny but it was fun. I'll give you Wonder Women, but Batman V Superman was pretty weak. I think Thor is going to be our next outing to the theater.

There used to be a horror show Chiller that was on TV when I was a kid back in Jersey. I think it was a weekly show, and the intro had a clay 6 finger hand come out of the sand and the voice would say Chiller... Thank was creepy.

Date: 25 October 2017 "SOTN"

Pre: - Cold Water straight from the tap
Brush: - Semogue SOC 2 Band Badger in Ash Wood 24/53mm
Lather: - Wholly Kaw - Yuzu/Rose/Patchouli Limited Edition (tallow) Donkey Milk 5x
Bowl: - Captain's Choice Cobalt
Razor: - Colonial Razors ~ General SS
Blade: - Feather Artist Club Professional #8
Post: - Lucky Tiger Aftershave & Face Tonic / Bulldog Original Moisturiser
Whisky: - Ardbeg 10yrs Old

I've transfer my on going feather pro blade from the General aluminium head to the SS General..... All I can say is HOLY COW!! I'm completely speechless and totally gob-smacked because the SS General is the heaviest razor in my den and lot more efficient than the General aluminium head, I didn't have any issue shaving with the General aluminium head attach with a ikon Bulldog handle this was my very first single edge razor in my den. I've never felt this razor that heavy against all my other razors since I've been wet shaving for nearly 3 years, the SS General weight is about 120 grams I strongly advise you to be very cautious with this SS General if you don't watch your angle and speed. I've had a small nick on my right side jaw line and under the right jaw line going WTG as I'm right handed can be a little tricky, shaving XTG & ATG is pretty easy to control the razor because you can't apply any pressure as the head balance perfectly going XTG and there's no pressure shaving ATG going under on your neck which is pretty smooth.

You can be very safe shaving from razor burn and irritation on your neck with the SS General going WTG, XTG and ATG as YMMV, just be cautious going WTG when you reach the jaw line because everybody has a different curve or shape of the there own jaw line otherwise this razor can bite you too soon if you don't pay attention to your shave. The SS General is going to take a while for me getting used to because the weight is a learning curve along my jaw line, so far I'm really enjoying the shave with the SS General and when I master the weight hopfully I should be able to used the feather pro super blade very soon or maybe go back to the Schick Proline.....will see. Follow by a nice relaxing smooth drink of Ardbeg 10yrs Old after my shave is very enjoyable, I'm looking forward to my next shave again with the SS General and I strongly advise you all.... you MUST get yourself a SS General in your den otherwise you could missed out this fantastic razor and the shave, I'm very glad to have a both SS General and the General aluminium head attach with a ikon Bulldog handle in my den.

Green Wednesday
This was my 100th use of the Rockwell 6s, and it still impresses me with it's combination of comfort and efficiency. I used PAA Cube pre shave soap for the first time, too, and I really like it. The shave and post shave are butter smooth, and the soap provides some welcome cool for a short time. Boreal is an amazing scent in the top notch T+S formula. Superb shave.

What a fabulous shave this morning although I only did two passes. I had tons of perfect lather from the Frozen Tundra soap and its beautiful peppermint, wintergreen scent. This soap hits you with a tremendous freeze as well, and as I've said before it's the second coldest Stirling soap after the Glacials. The Lucky Tiger balm treated me to such a nice cooling, soothing sensation and the Rubby Dubby Doo froze me good. BBS once again!

Have a wonderful day!

 

Thank you, Roby!
