Brush: Simpson Colonel
Soap: A&E Revolution
Razor: Friodur 472
Post: A&E Revolution & VR Spicebomb

Wonderful shave this morning from an absolutely fresh edge from JJShave. Decided to take it back to zero and have someone competent (as in not me) do it and so glad I did. Smooth shave that took enough down in two pass for me to skip the third.

I'd also sent my other two Friodurs and Koraat for the same reset so they will get the outing they deserve in the coming days!

Excellent performance and scent from the revolution, another one that I really like.

Hope everyone has a grand day!

Cheers

Marc

Brush	T&H Silvertip Badger
Bowl	Captain’s Choice Copper
Razor	Feather AS-D2
Blade	Feather
Aftershave	Thayers WH & Duke Cannon ASB
Fragrance	Versace, The Dreamer
Rating	10/10
Comments	This is the second shave with the Feather/Feather combo and as was the case with the first shave, it was nice, smooth, close, and comfortable. My beard changes directions so often that I do a four-pass shave to get a BBS shave. I can get such a shave with zero irritation with the Feather combo. This is the 60th shave using the MdC soap and the puck is finally showing signs of use. A perfect shave. Have a great day and weekend.

Soap: Clubman
Razor: Gillette NEW Flat Bottom GT
Blade: Gillette 7o'clock Black (17)
ASL: Clubman VIBR

A superb shave.

This month, due to playing around with face contortions, I've improved my technique on the adam's apple and chin areas. Every little helps. And the repotting of my Clubman soap into one of my favorite tubs has helped me get back to my favorite "three-second loading" time.


Happy shaves guys.
