Harper Happy Valley BBS
I struck gold on todays shave. Even my razor is golden.
Studio grade shave soap and high end push button razor technology made for a carefree futuristic shave.
I have experienced the future and it is compelling.

@Klinker- thanks for using the DG today, reminded me I have that one:001_rolle

Saturday SOTD, a great two-pass shave, DFS+, no mishaps, just close and smooth today, not much shy of BBS:

Razor: Maxwell June, twinned DE- each pass with this is like 1 1/2
Blade: Treet Dura Sharp blue (2)- After using the blade in a FB Tech yesterday I loaded it into the Maxwell June, which breaks the blade in half, so it's there until binned; I'm not sure what I was expecting from a carbon steel blade, but it shaved fine, not overly sharp, yet nicely smooth; today's shave was a bit closer than yesterday's, which is attributable to the change in razor; I'll be trying a few more carbon blades in the next few weeks
Soap: DG Yuzu/Rose/Patchouli- scent is a little much for me, bit once in a while I'll reach for it; performance is excellent
Brush: Vulfix 1000A Pure Badger- low-cost, a bit scratchy, but it's still breaking in
Post-shave: cold rinse, DG Yuzu/Rose/Patchouli AS- nice face feel with a little menthol

Hope you're having a great weekend!

First shave with the King C. Gillette that I just got yesterday from Amazon. I used the handle it came with for the first pass, but then switched to the Weber handle for the second pass. While it was fine with its original handle, I definitely prefer it with the shorter and more grippy Weber handle. Overall, I really liked how it performed.


Razor: King C. Gillette
Blade: Lord, Platinum
Brush: Saponificio Varesino, High Mountain White Manchurian
Soap: Santa Maria Novella
Post Shave: Every Man Jack, Natural Menthol-Signature Mint Face Lotion

Love it two SV brushes used on the same day, my SV was already in the rotation for today, but I would have used it anyway just to make it 3 in one day.
