Comments | This is the fifth shave with my Timeless SS SB .68 razor paired with a Wizamet blade. The shave was excellent but I can feel the blade getting a bit dull. Nevertheless, the shave was comfortable. Today’s brush is my AP Shaving Tuxedo – Synthetic. I am continuing to use the vintage Williams. This was the 115th shave with this fine soap. There are not that many shaves left with the Williams soap. Have a wonderful day and weekend, folks. |

Comments | One day growth. Day 6 with the Variant paired with the GSB blade (also #6). Another great shave but took off half a point because the blade sharpness has declined, and I didn't apply more effort to remove residual stubble. Still, very little and a smooth shave. Three passes and one clean up. No nicks. No cuts. No irritation. DFS++ Still in the process of deciding on a razor for next week. I'm leaning toward my RR GC .84. Happy Friday! |

Not quite sold on La Toja after one use. We'll see how it fares over the next few days. This is the last new soap in my closet. Repeats start Monday; I'll be figuring out a plan to trim down the collection from there. |
Very sorry to hear that, sir. I hope this issue is resolved quickly.Sadly no shave today. Ceiling repair from leaky roof the other day. My shave den is under tarps.
