/9/2018 Sunday Razor: Gillette Guard Cartridge: Gillette SE Cat. (8) Shave Cream: Neutrogena Shave Cream Dog: Nice Huh? Probably one of the best shaves I`ve been the pleasure to achieve. Almost perfect. A 2 pass straight through, no bumps or grinds, just smooth sailing all the way. A WTG/ATG, and a small amount of touching up, and voila! Almost like a barber. God Bless tp all. Bill

Today Hot Water wash Alpha Big Red / 28mm silvertip Art of Shaving Essential Lemon 3 drops M-Bomb R-41 head/Ikon oss handle Rapira (1) Crusella&co Kolonia 1800 Art of Shaving Essential lemon balm Today's shave was almost decadent, but totally perfect. Big Red really shined by bowl lathering AoS cream. It was sooo thick and rich. The lemon scent and coolness of m-bomb couldn't be better. The huge Big Red, which I've named Clifford, made a half peanut scoop of the cream into a mountain of foam. There were peaks and swirls forming on the third pass. I've recently acquired an Ikon oss handle, it was bigger than i had thought. I've been trying different heads on it. The R-41 seemed like it would be very aggressive on the large heavy handle. I think it may have tamed the head. I made three passes and really felt the razor to be very well behaved. While I've never felt the r41 to be over aggressive, the handle did seem a very good match to it. I finished smooth and comfy, ending with a wash of kolonia, then a rub of AoS balm, reminded me of a Mohito. Football time Hope y'all did as well, or better.
Thanks Doug, Have to send a shout out to the individual who sent me the bowl as a gift, Oh that would be YOU! Thanks again Doug Thanks, though it a 22mm, this overstuffed brush is more like a 26mm, great brush and under rated brush maker. Thanks Bill!

@twhite made the 3-D bowls. To the best of my knowledge there were only a few black bowls made. I think @twhite has one, I have one, you have one, and one was lost in the mail.
