Welcome to the new week. It's time to break out your adjustables. Let's see those Slims, Fatboys, Merkurs and hopefully some of the rarer ones (I 'd love to see an Apollo this week).

Monday

Prep: Hot Shower-Stirling Scots Pine Bath Soap
Soap: Maggard Limes & Bergamot
Razor: Maggard MR1
Blade: Gillette Platinum (2)
Brush: oscar11-24mmx50mm-TGN Finest 2-Band
Aftershave: Fine Clean Vetiver

WTG-XTG-ATG (adjusted angle for my beard a bit)

This was my first shave with one of the new Maggard soaps. I matched it with my Maggard MR1 razor, a Gillette Platinum blade, and my oscar11 finest badger brush. The scent is one of the nicest I have used so far. The Limes & Bergamot soap, along with the oscar11, gave me a quick easy lather with excellent glide and cushioning. I really like this new soap. I finished up with my sample of Fine’s Clean Vetiver that I ordered with the Maggard soap. I am not overwhelmed so far by the Fine’s.

I've no adjustable so won't be posting this week. I will be popping in from time to time to check out the fabulous gear and photos #shaveon

Dont skip posting in SOTD just because you aren't participating in the week's theme. We still like to see what shave gear you're using. I also use it to keep track of what I've been shaving with, and what items I've ignored.

 

[mdevine]

So far, it's been a Merkur Futur, Slim and Fatboy. I'm interested in what adjustables are your favorites and why.
