I’m back! I lent my razor to a friend to try. It’s was torture waiting for the T-Bird to fly back home!
My first time with the OC plate…. Not bad, but I think the blade was nearing it’s end

Sticking with the current set of relevant shaving themes I opted for my Blackland Blackbird to accompany the Bengall I've been using so frequently.
I paired the Blackbird with the Eddison Super Stainless blade I've been so impressed with. I mean today's shave is the eleventh shave I've gotten out of it! This is a record for any blade I've used before. A definite (unknown) "gem" in my opinion.
Speaking of gems, I want to call attention to the Topsy Blends (pre-shave) face wash I used. I picked this up from a local aromatherapist at my local community market that sells many amazing essential oil products. This face wash is great though, with its components of organic castile soap, organic jojoba oil, organic raw honey, and 100% pure therapeutic grade essential oils of tea tree, lavender, frankincense, and geranium, I had a very enjoyable time simply washing my face. Simple pleasures, right? If you're curious about their products go check out their online store.
I did my typical multi-pass shave, chasing that bbs finish. The Bengall has been serving me well for my initial couple/few passes. Switching to the Blackbird it did a superb job with the just-won't-quit Eddison blade.
The Phoenix Shaving Future Fiction soap performed amazingly as usual and the scent is to die for. I feel like if you've never tried Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements soaps before, Future Fiction has to be the first one you try. If you already like the brand, you have to have this one in your rotation.
After a wonderful shave, I splashed on some Pinaud Citrus Musk. It's unmistakably a Pinaud fragrance and one that I enjoy from time to time.
All in all, a great shave was had today. More gems to come...
Take care and shave on gentlemen.
I have a polished dart and Blackland brush wrapped under the true just waiting for Christmas morning shave!

No pic, but another SS Vector Thursday in the books. Really liking the Vector....it has moved up to the top ranks of my AC razors.
Brass'Bird with a Feather. I like the face feel of this razor and also the shaving angle that does not require trying to maintain a steep angle, which I find uncomfortable. Super close shave.
I was going to wait till I had a bit better technique to order the Ti but I caved and ordered the Vector SS since it is Blackland Thursday. Can’t wait
I love mine so far. Super smooth and efficient. Got mine over Black Friday sale. Hope you like it as well.
