Rating(s): | 10.0 BBS |
Comments: | A near perfect shave this morning, only microscopic stubble, with no nicks or weepers. Using a spare WCS 84s handle made for a better shave. The KCG handle isn’t bad, but it is hard to hold when it gets slippery during passes. |
That was an interesting idea. Glad it worked for you. I might try a similar shave.This was a "Daily Double" long in the making:

Razors: Feather AC SS (two passes; WTG, XTG) and Blackland Vector (touchups)
Post: Thayer's and Stirling Executive Man
I've always wondered about doing a couple easy passes with the Feather AC, and then swapping the blade into the Vector to clean up the tough bits. It worked great. I didn't chase BBS at all today, just enjoyed both razors and had fun with it. Results were varied, ranging from SAS to DFS. Boy is my shavette technique rusty. Wow. Rating: 9/10.

Comments | Back to the Ethos Lavender. This soap makes incredible lather. It may not last as long as a hard soap – but the lather is fantastic. Third shave with the Lab / Timeless combo. A nice BBS shave - close and smooth. Have a great day, guys. |
