This was my second shave on this Sharp blade and its just as close as the first! I've read some varying reviews on these blades, but so far they're one of the best I've tried.

edit: Nearly forgot this was my first shave with a Rooney. Great brush!

Love that Gillette President, blue_monkey. Gonna get me one someday.

Today's shave:
Washed face with Nivea for Men Energizing Face Scrub
Hot towel for 2 minutes
C. O. Bigelow by Proraso Cream, face-lathered it for the first time. Menthol effect was much better than that from lather made in a mug.
Burma Shave boar brush (much improved by repeated applications of Pantene conditioner)
BIC Metal razor
Barbasol Musk After Shave

This provided the best shave I've ever gotten, thanks to the sage advice posted here in The Shave Den. I'm enjoying shaving more than I ever thought possible, even with my modest equipment.

I imagine it'll only get better as I upgrade to a better brush and razor...

Monday 9/29 . . .

• [*]Prep: Rite Aid Skin Cleansing Cream & Hot Towel
  [*]Brush: C&E BBB
  [*]Cream: TOBS Eton College
  [*]Razor: GEM Contour for face & Braun 7526 electric for head
  [*]Blade: Ted Pella PTFE Coated SE (shave 1)
  [*]Oil Pass: Leisureguy's Last-Pass Shave Oil
  [*]A/S: Thayer's Lavender Witch Hazel Toner & C&E Sienna ASB
  [*]EDT: Stetson Sierra
  
  [*]Result: A BBS shave today but not a very comfortable one. I got too close in the neck and go a couple weepers. Darn things sting like mad. The Pella blade did not work as good today as usual. May just be the razor I used today. Will see tomorrow as I use an even older GEM. The TOBS Eton College made a great lather again today.

 

If someone put a gun to my head and told me to pick only one razor, this would be the one.
