Single Edge Sunday - What Will You Use?

The Osage Rub followed by the Lime Sec is very refreshing in the summer heat. :)

You can also mix them using the @OkieStubble Bootlegger's Arctic Lime Blast recipe:

1 Part: Osage Rub
1 Part: Pinaud Lime Sec

Description from the Wiki:

"If you are looking for a great lime scented aftershave with the added cooling of the arctic, then this is the blend for you. Pinaud Lime Sec is a sweet lime scent, very sweet (candy-like). Too sweet on its own, for many. Osage Rub tames the sweetness of Pinaud Lime Sec, and in return the great lime scent eliminates the medicinal scent of Osage Rub. Another great cooling summertime scent!"

Very refreshing combination that sure feels good! :)

YMMV :)
Thanks for the info my friend!

My wife might be coming by to beat the tar out of you later, as I am a "little girly man" and will give up your name in a hot minute to save my hide!

Sunday Schick Shave- July 5th 2020- I think my Schick Twin ll blade is coming to end of its life in my Stick Schick injector razor with #32 shave on it. Its getting a little tugging and it has done its job with honors. Very impressive blade for longevity and comfortable shaves and its life is used up as of today. It still knocked off a CCS,DFS,BBS.

Razor: Stick Schick injector L type theme series- MFG 1973, interesting mild razor to look at and gives a nice shave.
Blade: Schick Twin ll injector(Japanese) excellent razor blade, great daily blade - good for 1 or 2 day growth to avoid plugging.
Soap: Razorock Lavender- great scent and excellent lather qualities IMO.
Brush: Razorock Plissoft 24mm - great brush for making later and applying, triple milled soaps no problem, good splay
Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of Aloe Vera gel on beard area.
Prep: cold water rinse after each pass of 3 + pickups'
Post shave: Razorock King Louis lavender aftershave with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea balm.
Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= :a17: great shave with my Stick Schick and Twin ll blade.

Razor: @twhite TNNSER 3D
Blade: Ted Pella Personna GEM (2)
Brush: @Rudy Vey B&B 2020 Contributors Brush Handle w/TNS 24mm BOSS Batch1 Knot
Bowl: Captain's Choice Copper
Soap: A&E L'Orange Verte
Post-shave: Gentleman Jon Alum
Post-Shave Balm: Hyaluronic Acid
Aftershave: Fine L'Orange Noir
Cologne: G eàu Black Eau de Toilette Spray (clone of Acqua Di Gio Profumo)

WTG, XTG & ATG. Minor touch-up.

DFS++ with no nicks, cuts, weepers or irritation.

The @twhite TNNSER 3D razor is "too cool for school". This is a very effective and capable GEM blade razor. Some flexibility with the shaving angle - started somewhat steep and moved the handle up until I felt the best efficiency (it also worked going shallow and moving the handle down ;)). Smooth and efficient. Many thanks and much gratitude to @twhite for making these wonderful 3D Printed GEM based razors. :thumbup:

The @Rudy Vey B&B 2020 Contributors Brush Handle w/TNS 24mm BOSS Batch1 Knot brush, the A&E L'Orange Verte soap and Captain's Choice Copper bowl worked together to produce mounds of sumptuous, slick lather.

The Fine L'Orange Noir AS and G eàu Black Eau de Toilette Spray were synergistic with the A&E L'Orange Verte soap complementing each other and resulting in a wonderful scent that is highly praised by my Lovely Bride.

Pretty darn outstanding Single Edge Sunday Shave! :)

The first shave with this Type G. Quite an entertaining experience: this razor is noticeably different from those I'm used to. It was a quick shave (though easily achieved no-drama DFS). I'm going to revisit this razor more to better understand it.
