Fantastic. With my wife back to teaching, I'm on kid duty in the AM and working in the PM, and my shaves have got to be quick in the morning. I was able to bang out shower/shave in half an hour, which has got to be some kind of personal record. The brush was really nice face lathering: some scrub, lots of backbone, but very efficient at making the lathering and feels really nice. Efficient strokes and a light touch gave me a super close shave with no irritation. Feeling awesome.

I have been traveling for two weeks and used the same setup for that period. This is the first morning I am home and it is nice to change it up. Today's shave starts with Tabac soap. The soap has been in use for some time now and has no scent - but sure does perform great. The brush is a Graydog Synthetic brush which is turning out to be one of my favorite brushes. Thank you, Steve @Graydog. The razor is a Gillette New - the only OC razor that I now own. The blade is a Dorco Plat st300. The aftershave: Thayers Rose Petal WH and Clubman.

Razor: Oneblade Core, version 2- Mfg 2018> mild aggression, Excellent daily driver with a Gem modified blade IMO.
Blade: Modified Gem SS PTFE (10) Excellent blade, very sharp, good longevity, smooths out as it is used & low cost per shave if that matters to some.
Soap: Tabac- like this soap for lather qualities and post shave- scent is a mild flowery clean fragrance that is OK.
Brush: Yaqi Tuxedo knot 24 mm synthetic- I enjoy this brush because it lathers any type of soap well, soft tips.
Pre shave: brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aoe Vera gel on beard area.
Prep: cold water rinse after each pass of 3 + any pickups.
Post shave: Razorock blue barber with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea balm.
Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= excellent shave with my Oneblade Core with my modified Gem coated blade.

Have some great shaves! Stay & think safe in these times!

SOTD WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 26, 2020

Beautiful sunny day in Willistown this morning. This morning I shaved with my Dovo Special and my Colonial General, the head of which I placed on the Silversmith handle. The shave was lovely. My Omega Pro48 did its usual remarkable lather-building job. Two pass (WTG, ATG) face shave with neck cleanup by the Colonial General. I’ve noticed that by palm stropping my Feather Supers, I can sometimes get up to 6 dome shaves per blade. In any case the dome shave today was very enjoyable. Continual use of MWF has definitely had a very positive effect on my skin condition. I may notice blood on my razor, but when I check cannot locate the weeper! I feel refreshed, cool, clean and my scalp positively velveteen!

RAZOR: Dovo Special (Mug), Colonial General V2 head on Silversmith handle. (Dome)
BLADE: Feather Super
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Rabid Banana Preshave Cube
BRUSH: Omega Pro48 Boar
SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat w/ 6 drops of M-Bomb
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by Humphreys WH and Osage Rub. Finished with Old Spice Fresh Lime and Pre de Provence Balm.
