Wow, Bill, that is just plain awful! At least it wasn't one of your favorites, but it still sucks. Hope your day goes better, focus on the positives.

An interesting shave today. Thought I would try one of Glens (gsixxgun) one pass multi angle shaves. It worked really well for a BBS shave, which surprised me a little. Kinda fun to try something new, but it almost feels like cheating...LOL. Great way to shave if you are in a hurry, but I still think I'll stick with the luxurious 3 pass shave. I just like the routine I have gotten into.
Have a Great Wednesday Gents!

Bill
Razors seem to understand when they are unwanted so this is possibly a case of suicide. All kidding aside, that is a just plain ugly and painful happening. Sorry to see it.

First shave with this razor and it was close and very smooth. Between that and it's good looks it immediately goes into rotation. Seems I am on a roll with another great shave this morning. Hope it continues, said while crossing fingers. Lets hope there are no more razor tragedies this morning either. Have a good one.

I'm so pleased you like the razor Bob, but after seeing it how can you not like it, and more importantly it's a nice shaver.

Breaking it up...
Top Flight Razor
William's Mug Soap
Aqua Velva Musk ASL
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Semogue 830 Boar Brush
Well, decided to change things up today! Worked out just fine. Was not in dreamland but a basic no frills shave works too. I think the William's works better with little water at first and teasing it a bit. What can I say about the Aqua Velva? I feel like putting on a polyester leisure suite; going to a biker bar; flirting with a 50 year old biker chick-swing low sweet chariots; getting my ass beat by her boyfriend named 'Shitkicker' and finally passing out in the bathroom due to the ingestion of too many Long Island Ice Teas. Long Live Aqua Velva!Last edited by Mephisto; 11-29-2012 at 04:58 PM. Reason: ninja monkeys throwing apples

WEDNESDAY
Hot shower prep
Razor: GEM “CONTOUR, push button” ~1965
Blade: GEM bulk “coated”
Soap: Stroker’s Find..face lathered
Mug: none
Brush: Semogue
Aftershock: none needed
Splash: Home Brew “Bay Rum” 140 proof!
Another GEM today! This, I am told was the second to final model produced by them.
The razor clears whiskers quickly while being as gentle as a FatBoy on 3. Worth looking for! the Semogue is finally broken in and does a great face lather!The Bay Rum is a very sub dude aftershave and only bites for a little while but the scent stays for hours.
The fun of trying new things makes a brighter day!
