1. Prep: Hot shower; Yardley bath bar
2. Coffee: Locally roasted, fresh ground TN Blend.w/ cream
3. Lather: MWF + M-Bomb.- face lather
4. Brush:.Simpson's.Commodore.X2
5. Razor:[email protected]
6. Blade: Feather.(2); 3+.passes
7. Post: Cold water rinse; Kiehl's Balm.

Recovery shave from Speick & it was amazing. A little M-Bomb on the Fat was exhilarating & I decided to play with a DE for the first time in a LONG time. The Feather is super sharp & quite smooth for me with the Slim opened up to 9. There was some blood & a little burn as I'm not nearly as familiar with this razor as I am with my SEs. The Kiehl's cleared all that away & my face is feeling the best it has all week. I may just have to use the Slim daily now until this blade dies. Can't wait to see how it goes. .

.Shave Rating - Splendid! God Bless!

Warm Water Splash
Mitchell's Wool Fat
Morris & Forndran Blonde Badger in Butterscotch
H. Diamond's #74 .. Real Japanese Hollow Ground
Neil Miller .. 30/50
Witch Hazel
Bloc Osma
Vintage Old Spice AfterShave .. Magic~1870

Everything used today is "top dawg" in it's own right. The Diamond razor is so sharp and smooth, that it could convert an "everyday shaver," to an "every other day shaver." I awoke this morning, and was still very acceptably smooth from yesterday's shave... I could easily redux today's cast of characters every day...
