    I think my FB shaves smoother than my Slim, with everything else being equal. I think it's because it is heavier. I use both on 5 for WTG XTG and then on 3 for ATG.

    Same here.. I get better results with the FB over the Slim. Feels smoother/less aggressive to me.

    SHAVE OF THE DAY
    sotd61.jpg



    PREP: SHOWER WITH CLEARASIL FOAMING FACH WASH/ SOAP COMMANDER COURAGE SOAP
    RAZOR: 1953GILLETTE TECH
    BLADE: BIG BEN
    BRUSH: EVERREADY BADGER-LON
    SOAP: B&M LEVIATHAN
    POST: MYRSOL AGUA BALSAMICA


    Did a 3 pass shave today. The scent of the Leviathan is not bad, but not my favorite B&M scent either. Not a strong coffee, but it does have a light coffee-mocha scent. It made a slick lather as expected from a B&M soap. The problem was the blade had a few shaves on it, and was tugging a little bit. Despite this problem, the Myrsol did not burn one bit and soothed the skin very well. The herbal scent is unique and combined with the feel, makes this a great A/S. Hope everyone has a great day and a great shave!

    Dove Beauty Cream bar face wash
    Star DE razor
    Rapira Swedish Super Steel (3) blade
    Bestshave #6 brush
    RazoRock Classic shave soap
    3 passes WTG/XTG/ATG + touch-up.
    Nivea Men Sensitive aftershave balm

    I had to forgo the Slim, it just didn't work for me and I didn't feel like giving it time to warm up to me.
    It has been over a year since I last used the Star DE, but it just felt great from the first stroke.
    I really like that little 3-piece razor. With the Turkish brush and RazoRock Classic I had a great shave tonight.

    Being OCtober I broke out the OCMM

    T&H PSO
    AOS Lavender Cream
    Savile Row 3824
    OCMM
    GEM SS (5) (1)
    Osma Alum Block
    AOS Lavender After Shave Balm

    The OCMM wasn't being very kind to me and I suspected it was the blade. I'd spent a week in earlier September working with the OCMM to "tame" it and it kept tugging a bit. I finally replaced the blade part way into the third pass. Much better but more work to tame this one may be needed. I may have to use it again to tomorrow to see the difference with a new blade. :cool:

    Let's see now - what'll it be for Friday? This stuff:

    Neutrogena Men Facial Wash :love055: :love055: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily:
    Large Horsehair Barbershop
    Super Speed/Derby day 5
    Edwin Jagger Menthol SC :love055: :love055: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily:
    Gold Bond Moisturizer :love055: :love055: :love055: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily:
    Alt Innsbruck AS :love055: :love055: :love055: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily:

    I really like the Edwin Jagger cream which I bought from Italian Barber. Its scent is actually quite nice, its lather is very rich and stable, and its menthol effect is very pleasant along with pretty good skincare. I'll always love the Gold Bond moisturizer for the love it gives me back, and the Alt Innsbruck is awfully lovable - at least where I'm concerned. It has a wonderful scent and a ton of menthol to it! ;) :D

    Very educational clip today Justin(for me anyway). I have to admit I thought I knew what a "pass" was, but neaupe. I've used Edge before, but not the one you had. How do you like Clubman?
