For today's shave I decided to give the ATT classic H2 a spin. She provided a close DFS+ shave, two passes wtg/atg. Overall, a dramafree and solid shave - but I tend to get an even closer if the H2 is loaded with a Feather or PermaSharp blade...
Have some great shaves,y'all!
Beauty of B&B events, no one is obligated to participate. Thanks for posting, my friend!Thanks @timetofly for the event! I fizzled out after the 26th as a fellow GRUMER @Roedeer and I embarked on the Game EX Changer! I swapped to using the RR Game Changer .84SB and he switched to using the RR GC .68 OC. So I guess it was a null change, lol. You lost me but gained Roedeer!
I will be back next year!
Cal. Thank you and the rest of the fine gents for posting and supporting OCtober!(Final) OCtober 2022 SOTD

Soap: B&M Death
Sorry for the late posts. The last few days are a blur. For the Halloween shave I pulled out the Skull mug, black brush and the black B1 deluxe with a black MR11 handle. I tried to take pics but with all the black they just didn't show any detail so you will have to use your imagination. The B&M Death has a light nutmeg scent and worked very well but my skin did not like it. While on my face, I could feel a mild burn. First and last time for this soap. Too bad, it had a nice scent, slick and great cushion.
The big surprise of the month was the Ikon B1 OC Deluxe. Great smoot shaves. Today's shave was excellent. 12 hours later and I have a DFS. I am calling it a BBS this morning for sure. Great razor.
Enjoyed the month. I didn't get to all my OCs but there is always next year! Happy Halloween and Happy Shaves!
I went back to work today! I loved the Cedarwood so much yesterday, I simply had the same shave again but with my Zenith Manchurian brush. Welcome back TOBS cedarwood!Second covid shave today. Found my TOBS Cedarwood!
