Todays OCtober shave started with the The Valet Auto Strop. I tried out a second use carbon steel blade and wasn't very impressed so switch to a SS. Still not impressed but the first outing of the TNNSER 3D more than made up for it and I ended up with a great shave.
And of course Mer Shavings Mysore Sandalwood on my favorite Two Band Badger performed flawlessly.

Wm. Enders OC SE/Schick Proline-B/RR Beehive 28mm/LNHC Tashmere
Dirty English shave tonic/Dirty English Eau De Toilette

Not a bad shave at all with the Enders SE. The Schick Proline-B fit in nicely after a bit of a modification on the Enders. 3 passes and definitely a DFS finish. Nice and comfortable with surprisingly not much blade feel yet smooth. Great shaves to all....

Beautiful TNNSER!!! Love the orange color!!
 
OCtober shave #5 (got sidetracked by solid bars):

1930s Gillette Senator
Feather (2)
Chubby1
TOBS Peppermint
Homebrew blue splash

The Senator is a fine little shaver, not smooth like a British Aristocrat but super nimble, light, and gets the job done. and I just love the looks, like it’s Ranger Tech sister.

Today's shave was the last shave of the week, and once again it was the best shave of the week. Next week I'll use my Vintage 1980's Fatip paired with a fresh Shark Platinum blade. The new Shark Platinum blade is really nice. It is sharp and smooth and holds its edge. My Omega S-brushes will be up. I'll continue on using Fine soaps. This time it will be Fine Lavender Pour Homme with Reuzel as an aftershave.
