AC Safety Razors are my favorite catagory of razors. The thicker blade is very sturdy and blade support is excellent with no blade chatter.
My favorite AC blade razors are the models where the handle bisects the blade (Ti and Stainless Vectors) or is very close (The General V2). The Shield Ti is next in line.
The balance, with Doug’s 25g GTC handle is excellent. Paired with the Kai Captain Titan Mild Protouch MG blade, the shave was smooth and effective. Still trying to place the Shield Ti in the proper category, probably Big Dogs.

Used the Wild West Brushworks Invasion with TNS 26mm Original BOSS Fan today. My very positive opinions of this brush are well documented.

Software combination is Mitchell's Wool Fat Soap, Pinaud Clubman Musk, and Belcam One EdT Spray. Excellent synergy.

Superb shave! :cool:

I think this fits, Gents
She got her cast off and is wearing a wrist brace. The bones are healing as expected. Things are still painful if she moves her wrist in the wrong direction.

Thank you for asking. :)
Sometimes I think the physical therapy they put you through to get things moving freely again is the worst part. I found that hot/cold therapy helped immensely.

Went with the Blackland Razors Ti Blackbird for today's shave and was rewarded with a true top tier shave! The Personna Israeli blade worked very well in the Ti Blackbird!

Love the Rudy Vey Keyhole brush. Definitely one of my favorite brushes!

My soap, aftershave and fragrance selections remain Mitchell's Wool Fat, Pinaud Clubman Musk, and Belcam G1 EdT Spray. Great combination!

Superb DFS++ shave! :cool:

Great kit for the 1st day of Vintage April. The Canadian Pre-War Tech is a great razor. Shave results are on a par with some pretty high priced competition.

I can honestly say that the Clubman Musk is slowly edging out Clubman Original in my den. 🙂

The Graydog 2021 Saint Sue brush is awesome!
Same software combination I've been using. Excellent performance and results.

Superb DFS shave! :cool:
