One Blade in Fruity February
Synthetic Sunday SOTD
Daily Double
Razor: Gold Dollar 66
Razor: Karve SBG
Blade: Gillette Platinum (11)
Brush: Simpson Trafalgar T1
Soap: Fine Italian Citrus
ASL: Pinaud Classic Vanilla

I'm writing this about 12 hours after shaving in the morning, and my face and neck are just as smooth as they were then.
The GD66 responded nicely to the ark with a smooth WTG face pass, then I let the Meat Clever take over for a WTG, ATG, WTG shave, because there is no way a razor with this large a gap and efficiency should be this smooth.
But it is.
My only complaint about the Trafalgar T1 is the handle is too small and constantly dripped all over my hand. The brush itself was superb. I might try a T2.
The Fine Italian Citrus is a soap I could use for the FFFMM.

The Witch hazel felt slick, the Classic Vanilla gave off a little heat, and the Nivea balm was pleasant.

Have a Great Shave

Today is Synthetic Sundays!!!
Still In GRUME, GRUYERE & 365 Shaves

Rockwell 6S-R4 (using an aluminum handle to reduce weight) with a Derby Extra SS (1) and Feather DX with AC Pro (30), Omega Evo 2.0, B&M Cheshire

I have read about Derby blades being comfortable but not super sharp and I am in agreement with that opinion. That is what I wanted today. The always dependable Rockwell performed as expected. The Cheshire was very slick and had an enjoyable fragrance. For the second pass I used the DX razor and finished with barely a DFS finish. That was good enough and my skin is in excellent condition. The AC blade is ready for shave #31.

Cheers!

Please take care of yourself...and each other.

Feather DX with Feather Pro AC blade (1), Pre de Provence No. 63 & RR Big Bruce

I am a newbie with a straight edge razor and using the same blade for 31 shaves was a very beneficial learning experience. Today it felt easy peasy using a new blade.
#63 makes an excellent slick bountiful lather. It felt like I was pampering myself with the black beautiful bold Big Bruce brush.
Today's background was a "county napkin" (paper towel).
Tomorrow I look forward to Muhle/MdC Monday!

Please take care of yourself and each other.

Merkur 34 loaded with Muhle Rasurkultur (19), Mike's Orange soap and Brushworx G5C brush

I think about LJ, @LJBraaten when I use Mike's soap. LJ is frugal (in a good way!) and this is one his preferred brands. The soap lid is showing signs of my neglect but the soap inside is excellent. I am truly enjoying what I have. This quartet's performance was excellent.

Please take care of yourself and each other.
