Gugi, Sacrilege!!

I'm sure the shave was exactly like the tool used, predictable, boring, detached, and I'm talking about the shaver not the Mach3...hehe...;o)

I haven't shaved with a DE in over 8 months, and a cartridge in over 3 years.

Today's shave:

Simmons Barber's Pet recently re honed to .5u diamond
Bentley Scuttle
TGQ Cavendish Black scuttle soap.
Silvertip in Puter.
Shaveden After shave milk

Result: BBS a few weepers.

cheers

The Kissing Cranes do not disappoint!

11/16 R. Klaas "AM"
Tabac SS
Rooney 3/1
Tabac AS

Tabac really is the best.

BBS every time with my Robert Klaas. This thing is unbelievable. 4 months shaving regularly with it and today was the first time I hit a Swaty and some CeOx on leather, 50 laps on canvas, 50 on horse, and it's brand new again. Squeegee. 2 passes, BBS.

Well i thought i'd give it a try since it's been years.

I wasn't impressed and the problem seems to be the angle of the blades. It works, but my face doesn't like it much. Plus my stublle is back much quicker than with a straight.
I'll be back home in a couple of days so it'll be good again.
