Just a great soap! Nice scent with cooling sensation plus a wonderfully creamy and slick lather!
An absolutely cracking shave with this razor paired with the blade! So easy to whip around...silky smooth in 3passes for a bbs finish. Much faster too...no regrets for this and yesterday's Kamisori. Aftershaves were terrific!

Razorock GC84, Brazilian Wilkinson, Mondial Badger, Gentlemen's Tonic Babassu & Bergamot, Nivea Silver Protect aftershave. Irritation free BBS.

The Gamechanger has a significant blade gap, not as smooth gliding as the open combs I've been using lately. But the blade is excellent, and the blade is all that matters.

Rating	9/10
Comments	Using the Ethos Lavender for the 21st time. Today’s brush, the B&B LE 2014 did a nice job of making lather. I had my doubts how this shave was going to be. This a.m. my hands were stiff from arthritis. However, it turned out to be a fairly good shave except for a weeper on my neck when I did an XTG pass. Have a good one, gents.

Not a great shave today. I messed up the lather and got it too thin. The blade was past its prime. I should have replaced it a couple of shaves ago. Socially acceptable shave only.

SOTD SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 5, 2021

Yesterday’s shave, while eye-opening, was nowhere near as smooth and close as I prefer. The Durham Duplex, is the design embodiment of the notion of “safety razor”. I truly believe one would have to work hard to hurt themself with that shaver. It would seem a great tool for the DE or SE shaver who has thought about straight shaving, but has held off because of a concern about badly cutting themself.

Today I selected one of my favorite vintage straight razors, the Manhattan Cutlery 13/16 for my mug shave. David Work restored this razor and did a magnificent job. The Sheffield steel sports a great 9 Ball slate edge. While I enjoyed yesterday’s shave, today’s two and a half pass mug shave put the velveteen back into smooth. DE and SE safety razors do the job, but there’s just something qualitatively different about a great straight shave.

I truly like shaving my dome with a Gem blade holder. My favorite is the Ever Ready Streamline, but a very close second is the Gem G-Bar. It glided through the two pass ATG noggin shave floating on that slick, yogurty Nancy Boy Signature Scent lather carpet. The Durham Duplex delivered a decent DFS shave yesterday, but this morning’s G-Bar shave delivered the level of velveteen smoothness I routinely expect and did not receive yesterday.

RAZOR: Manhattan Cutlery 13/16 (Mug), Gem G-Bar (Dome)
BLADE: Pella PTFE Gem (Dome)
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: MrEE LE #005 Aluminum Handled SynBad Knot
CREAM: Nancy Boy Signature Scent
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Nancy Boy Signature Scent AS Balm.
