My beard grows pretty fast. Shaved early Thursday morning for a breakfast meeting. Needed a touchup shave to minimize the facial scouring pad before turning in for the night. The Ti Vector is smooth enough and predictable enough to use two times in one day, albeit ~15 hours apart. :001_wub:

The kit is the same as I used Thursday morning. :cool:

Another exceptional shave! :001_wub:

The Rudy Vey AS3M Dark Knight is a gorgeous brush. Feels fantastic. Outstanding performance! :001_wub:

Geo. F. Trumper Eucris tub shaving cream is quite nice! Love the fragrance. Makes an excellent lather that is slick and has great post shave face feel! :001_wub:
20221008_145705~5.jpg

Osage Rub rocks! Very invigorating! :001_wub:

Because we live in the High Desert (extremely LOW humidity), my Dermatologist recommended using a small amount of CeraVe as a post-shave balm. I've used it in the past and liked it. Not sure exactly why I stopped?
20221008_145705~6.jpg

So...started using a small amount, applied after the aftershave, and have been very pleased with the results. :001_wub:

Applied Belcam Vault before heading out for the day! Bride Approved! :001_wub:

Superb shave, top tier results! :cool:

We all have to do our part to make sure that Jim @Chan Eil Whiskers receives the "BOSC Enablers R Us" Employee of the Month award again this month. ;) 🤣

I hope everyone likes the X1 as much as I do. If so, ATT's going to have a huge surge in their sales. In my opinion the X1 might be the best razor I've used.

I'm not anointing it just yet, but just saying it's under consideration.

Happy shaves,

Jim

As you know, Jim, I like ATT razors - a lot - so I have high expectations for the X1 Slant. :)

I am very eager to see how it stacks up against the Ti Vector. :cool:

I'm very eager to know your views and impressions of the X1.

I'd probably buy a Vector head but I don't much like the handle.

Happy shaves,

Jim
The stock Vector handle works well, just too thin for me to comfortably grasp.

I like the 25g handles Doug @Rosseforp makes. Also the Timeless Ti handles. And the TiBam Ti handles. As long as they are in the 14mm or larger diameter.
