Shave with razor paired with this 1st time use blade (black color?) was not very good. Tuggy on 1st pass so replaced it before any weepers. 2nd blade was so much better. 3+1passes for a bbs to dfs result. Rating 9/10
Interesting black color blade.....

SOTD FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 20, 2020

This morning I decided to shave with my 1976 Gold Bicentennial Edition Schick Krona. I shaved with a regular Krona for over 50 yrs until it broke. They are excellent shavers, and this particular safety razor did the job. Coupled with my C-Mon Special, new Sapele/Resin handled Pro48 boar, and MWF the shave was spectacular. Alum check revealed no heat. I feel cool, velveteen smooth, clean, refreshed and ready for the day.

RAZOR: C-Mon Special 11/16 (Mug), 1976 Gold Bicentennial Edition Schick Krona (Dome)
BLADE: Feather DE
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: Sapele/Resin Handled Pro48 Boar
SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by Humphreys Lilac WH and Osage Rub.

DE SOTD, Fri, Nov20th,2020- Shaving can be very inexpensive with certain gear for newbies if discipline prevails as show in photo.
The Mingshi2000(Merkur Futur clone) is OK but under the nose there might be better alternatives IMO.(very inexpensive gear for starting out IMO.)

Razor: Mingshi 2000 Adj, Mfg 2017> very inexpensive razor and a good bargin when I bought one for under $10.00 Canadian.
Blade: Gillette Astra SP(1) Great blade, Sharp & smooth with good longevity, one of the first 100 packs I bought.
Soap: Tabac, Mild flowery scent that has calmed down over time, excellent lather qualities.
Brush: Razorock Plissoft 24mm- It was a big improvement over some of my other brushes at the time, still enjoy this one!
Preshave: Brush washed my whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + dollop of Aloe Vera gel on cleaned beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pick ups. Razor settings WTG(3) + ATG(4) + pickups(5).
Post shave: Pinaud Clubman with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea balm.
Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + 1 blemish weeper= Excellent shave with my Mingshi 2000 with a ASTRA SP.

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