So...uhmmm...where do I begin? ... This is the absolute closest and best shave I've gotten in a while and I can say that being someone who gets pretty darn good shaves daily. This shave makes me question why I don't try to use this razor every day. I had always been under the impression that the aggressiveness of it was too much to be a daily driver being that this razor is the most aggressive that I own. But I think I should try to use the CG LvL2 five days in a row and really test that theory before I dismiss it. How I would love to be able to achieve what the outcome was this morning...every morning! And so it begins.

Happy Shaves, Everyone.

Razor: OneBlade Genesis
Blade: Feather FHS-10 (3)
Brush: Simpson's Trafalgar T3
Soap: Stirling Barbershop
Post Shave: Cold water rinse, Nivea Sensitive Post Shave Balm, Proraso Red AS
Rating: 9.85/10 Excellent three pass BBS shave. No weepers, no irritation and no cuts. Excellent Shave! My third shave with the Genesis and still impressed as it just works. Unfortunately though pushing the blade to three shaves was not as comfortable as it should have been, was tuggy and had a rough blade feel. I know better, but tried three shaves anyway.

[SgtCrppls]

Pre: Hot Towel
Soap: SV Cosmo (second use in the Copper Bowl, very nice lather & slickness)
Brush: Simpson’s M7 Best, (it is a great brush, but instead of being a little scratchy like my other Best brushes, it feels in between those and my Chubby 2 Super)
Blade: Polsilver (1st use)
Razor: Timeless SS Scalloped .95, I think I like a little blade feel reminds me of my EJ 3one6, only smoother, I think the whole blade is held a little more firmly.
Post: Pinaud Clubman

Very good shave, no irritation

9/10

My thought is the next blade to try is a Nacet it is a little sharper, then if that works I could try a Feather, but I am pretty for a regular everyday blade it will be Polsilver.View attachment 1208708

I have ordered the Titanium Handle , want to see what difference a lighter handle makes when shaving

The Duke series are great brushes, and the 2 really fills a niche in my collection of brushes
