I had my final shave (#6) yesterday afternoon with the same SS in my GC .68 OC. Still very smooth. I am very impressed by the SS.
As part shave #6, I also loaded the second SC I have into my GC .84 SB and confirmed that the SC just does not work for me - too much tugging.
I have to say it's been a great Shark Week and I was surprised at how different each of the 3 Shark blades performs on my beard/face. Really happy to have taken part!

Yep, I like the Platinum blade better than the SC or SS. Seems to be smoother.UGH!! Now you have chummed the waters!!
Looks like I ‘need’ to try the Platinums.
Although I have 100 SC and only one tuck of Platinum!

3 pass some touch up DFS.
My first shark week has been fun.
I would like to send a thank you to J
Last shave for Shark Week 2020...
Razor: Fatip lo Storto Originale
Blade: Shark Super Stainless
Soap: Arko
Brush: B&B 10th Anniversary Boar
A new week usually means a new setup, but I'll stick with the same blade because of Shark Week and the same soap for the month of August. It's been a good week of shaves and I'm glad to have participated. I had used the Shark blades before and had no issues, but the Gillette Red Tip was a new experience. The FOCS is also new to me so I guess Shark Week has been a good excuse to try new things. Be well, be safe, and get outside if you can...

Had my last swim today with the Sharks for a while. I had a better shave today with the SS blade than yesterday and didn't lose any blood. This was a lot of fun and I enjoyed reading all the back and forth with everyone that participated. @BigJ much thanks for hosting this event.
Great fun!!
You, Sir, are a gentleman especially as we agree about the Shark SS!!

I apologize for my absence; each morning, I swam with the Sharks. Got 6 good shaves from @Frank Shaves Shark Platinum Blade, and used a Super Stainless this very morning. Both blades agree with my face.
I did a total of 4 shaves during Shark Week, which for a retired dude is the equivalent of 8 days!
I'm also pledged (on my sacred honor) to use that same blade and Arko for all of August, along with the ugliest brush ever seen:
It has slowed down on the shedding! I've been trying to kill it since July 5th of 2019 in my "just like grampa used to shave" thread but it keeps going like an old Timex.
If I shave another time tonight (Sunday) I'll let y'all know.

Well folks this was it. My last shave of Shark Week. The current is shifting and I see the fins drifting away from the shore. The sharks were my friends this week though No blood to report. So I say goodbye to swimming with the sharks on a daily basis for now. Big thanks to @BigJ for organizing this marine adventure!
Today’s shave I used Shark Super Chromes as I have all week along. My razor was a WCS 110s Open Comb, a Yaqi 24mm Two Band Badger, an Arko Sharko stick, and Aqua Velva Ice Sport for the after shave. Today’s photo is courtesy of my 10 year old son. He saw me about to snap a photo and he said, “wait wait dad how about you lean that gold cup thing on its side like this...” So he set up the shot!
