Isn't it amazing how a slight adjustment in angle will make the difference between great and outstanding? Increased the angle slightly on my last pass and I am amazingly smooth and ready to face the day!

Have a Great Thursday Gents!

[QUOTE=celticcrusader;1101854]I can say without doubt it didin't look anything like that when I recieved it, but that's what she looks like after I restored her.

Wow, nice save, many hours work for sure!

Good morning y'all! Cedar fever is in full bloom in South Texas (our version of hay fever), and I'm moving sluggishly. Today I wanted to retry a lather setup that didn't fare very well for me last week, the SOC SE brush with DR Harris soap, as well as try out a new (to me) Gillette Tech DE razor I picked up at an antique store yesterday. For the lather, I followed some sound advice given to me last week following the poor lather, and voila, perfect lather! The shave also went well, and now I know what people mean when they refer to a DE as "mild" rather than aggressive. The Tech is definitely a mild shaver.

Prep - hot shower
Soap - DR Harris, Windsor
Brush - SOC SE
Razor - 1964 Gillette Tech, Weber bulldog handle, Merkur blades
Post - cold water, Kiehl's lotion
EDT - Creed, Millessime Imperial



Have a great day!

This blade's as good as any Heljestrand I've shaved with and I think the later can be one of the absolute best razors out there.

Thanks for the kind words fellas I am almost certain this razor has had some edge taken out, but it was done properly and it still shaves very well. I only do 3 pass shaves, and only 3 or 4 times a week, and this razor is one of my best as far as retaining the smoothness till the very end.
