This is my second type K2 - I could not say no to this as it still had the DUMMY blade and was only 18 dollars - so it was the maiden voyage and this has to be the BEST handle for the later schicks - just great and Eazy bbs - my normal trouble spots are ez with this razor - the NOS new vintage chromium schick sure helps - sharp as hell---- Crown King Porthos!!!!!!!! just rules

Sweet!!! - I got my package but he sold out on the Star Jelly, and I am getting that in the next week.. The Star Jelly is a great balm - I have it for Pumpkn and Porthos, it is so soothing and it reminds me of 444 a little. I love his soap/shampoo pucks as they all smell and lather better than any other soap I own and also its great shampoo for my balding head.... I might wait for the star jelly before I use this new bay rum - I got the shave stick instead - which is the same thing but 2 oz in a stick - I have so much friggin shave supplies that I like the smaller size option. The bay rum cologne smells very unique... My bay rum is STEPHENS or MASTER comb - that is what my barber uses and that with clubman, old spice , brut & aqua velva was what I used for a long time until I got the 'wet shaving' collecting addiction a year ago. haha

Greetings,

A very enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups DFS with no errors to report.
It's been a while since i last used The Indian Pearl razor, which was a pleasure to use, all of my shaves this week have been consistantly good.

I've surprised myself since i introduced myself to traditional wet shaving ...into my second year now, how much i look forward to my next shave, something i never thought i would ever imagine in a million years ,as i use to hate shaving with a passion using Cartridge razors,making it a mundane hateful task,now it's a sheer pleasurable experience each time i shave.

Finishing the shave off in old school style with a generous splash of Brut Original & squirts of Avon Wilderness EDT.

My Face is feeling cool smooth, & smelling devine.;)

Enjoy your Day, ladies & gentlemen.:cool:


Superb photo, Barry. And I think you've expressed the sentiments of most regarding this adventure we're in.

Pre: hot water
Brush: VS badger 24mm
Soap: Barrister & Mann Leviathan
Razor: Rockwell 6c #3 / Rapira
Post: Skinbracer

... finally got my Rockwell 6c and damn it’s smooth. Like a knife through butter. Had to check the water to see how much stubble was getting shaved. No nicks or anything either.

Evocative overhead pic, Mathias. It has a very moody tone to it. I have a Rockwell 6S and it's a superb razor. I think smoothness runs in the family.

How have you enjoyed this OC month, Clint? I decided not to dedicate the whole month to the open comb because I wasn't sure my face would stand up to it. Still I've put in 12 and 1/2 shaves (I used the iKon OSS for one) for October. Maybe next year I'll give in.
