Now that is a CLassy shave Bob! Hey - I have Chris Evat doing a ReVamp of my Barbosol Floating head currently, I mentioned the amazing hob he has done with Bob Cat's Razors and he wanted me to tell you "HI" and u was " a total gentleman" - cant wait to see the work he does!!!
peace - JAMIE
 

Wednesday - June 13, 2018 - SPEICKTACULAR Shave!
  • Back to the Personna Floating head II ( the 2 is the blue version that was advertised for using there Twin Blades, The orginal floating head was black and that came with a single Personna 74 - but the only difference is the colour - there exactly the same - I have both)
  • The Modern Japan Schick Twin blade on 2nd shave - the blades can compete with the vintage twins - there friggin' awesome - shame the cost a lot - but for a "injector head" its worth it for the fix!
  • I am just loving these Razor More and More - I am really dialed into the angle, its not a noisey shave - but boy it sure is efficient! at first you feel like you did not get a really close shave - than a hour later you start rubbing your face - and u cant stop~!!! Petting a dolphin is fun!!!!!!!
  • SPEICK!!!!! cant say more than what has been said - this STICK might be the best shave stick - its so darn slick!! Also - the using the PRE ELECTRIC SHAVE is great for the warm weather when u don't want a oil - nice hidden secret for wet shaving - u dont need to use it for a electrical device - its great with COLD STEEL!
  • SEMOGUE 610 Boar - no surprise - semogues rule the boar world.
Do i need to add the disclaimer of YMMV? Nah ! If you cant get a good shave with this gear - than you need to get a Remington and plug in!!!! Haha

peace - JAMIE!!

Just got the Razorock Blue Fougere in the mail yesterday along with the AS. It is a pretty soft, pretty big brick, and the only container I had for it was an empty brisket rub tin -- fit the whole 300gm brick perfectly. First impressions -- love the scent, very slick and soft.
 
Shave King Flubber Green 24mm Timberwolf synthetic brush, Sterling Iced Pineapple soap, Otto Deutsch Hans straight, Proraso green aftershave. Flubber is a portmanteau of "flying rubber," from the old Disney classic movie "The Absent Minded Professor."

Two passes and some touch up. Ok shave, but not outstanding. Still not happy with the Otto straight. It shaves, but should be sharper, like my other razors. Maybe it's a good candidate for my first try at honing?
