Comments	Starting a different razor today: Merkur 37C Slant. I loaded it with a Lord SC for the first shave. Today’s brush, a Rudy Vey with a Shavemac Knot, had no problem making a great lather. A fine, BBS shave on my face, neck and head. Have a great day, B&Bers.

Dart-Vib'raz/BIC. I experimented with alternative plates for the Vib'Raz cap, finding the Merkur and Razorock plates while closely matching the geometry of the stock plate with the addition of an open comb, were still very mild and didn't improve anything. I did a pass with the Perfector plate, which does add a more aggressive aspect to the shave, finally landing on the Dart for a clean-up pass. Interestingly the Dart-Vib'Raz feels like it holds the blade more rigidly than the stock Dart without giving up either comfort or efficiency. Full shave with this combination tomorrow.

I give up!
I spent hours honing this blade with six different stones in every sequence known to man and…meh.
It seemed not bad coming off the strop, so I went straight to the most difficult spots, under my nose and my chin. It seemed to be doing a better job right off the bat, but by the time I moved to my cheeks, it felt like the edge was gone. Even my last few terrible shaves cleaned me up okay, but all it seems to be doing today is polishing my neck whiskers.
I should have just stopped and grabbed another razor, but I felt so damn defeated I just quit. Right now I just want to put away all my stones and this razor. Is it me? I’m pretty experienced at this, but this razor has seven blades and I can’t seem to get a decent edge off of a single one of them. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.
Maybe I’ll try a GEM blade in it just to give me another part of the picture, or move on to my Wilkinson Empire to restore my confidence.

Preshave: shower, frigid tap water
Brush: Semogue TSN 2020 LE 3-band Silvertip badger
Soap: Murphy and McNeal ~ Gael Laoch
Razor: Karve Stainless Steel Safety Bar "F"-plate
Blade: vintage Polsilver Stainless (8)
Post shave: frigid tap water, Schröder und Mann ~ Majestät AS.

Evening shave. Again a pleasant and smooth. Maybe I noticed a slight loss in terms of sharpness of the blade, but finally I sit here with a BBS shave and a calm skin again. What more could you ask for?

Today's setup (hardware and software) was just about perfect. Maybe all I had needed was a sip of Riesling during the passes to get me totally into that zen state....

Enjoy your shaves, y'all!
