Nice shave tonight
Afternoon cleanup - just wait for this!!
Rob's thread got me thinking about pulling out my Atra Plus cart and some goo just for giggles this afternoon, sooo....
Atra Plus cart and razor
Colgate with Aloe Vera in a can
Prepped with a hot face wash with Savon de Marseilles and hot towel treatment. Rubbed on some cream, which was a bit denser than I remembered, but still reeked of its chemicals. Shaved pretty much irritation free, but there wasn't a whole lot of stubble there to get after, and I only went with one pass. The main impression from this cart shave was how light the razor felt and how light the pressure was. I think DE shaving has really trained me to use that light pressure. Coupled with a light implement, it feels as though nothing is happening. After putting everything back under the sink, I could still feel some stubble, but I didn't go for multiple passes, and only WTG.

Boy did i need a relaxing shave. I decided to try the Dorko i got from the bay a few weeks ago. Sharp but just not enough. Well i brought a back up. My Dovo Bismarck 5/8 in bone scales.

Tonight I got one of the best shaves of my life!
I've been at this DE shaving thing for about nine months, but I sometimes still struggle with technique and irritation.
Tonight I slowed way down, focused on technique, and got a no-hassle clean, smooth, irritation free shave. The whole experience was like a revelation, or the coming together of all my acquired shaving knowledge. I am quite pleased.
Anyway, my setup was as follows:
-Cella
-Edwin Jagger BBB
-Merkur HD
-Feather blade
-Witch Hazel
-SCS Lime Milk

Gents may wish to post in the "TABACtober" SOTD thread... 'Casue you're in last weeks now!
Got a second great shave this morning out of the Wilkinson Sword blades I bought at Walmart.
Razor: 1949 Super Speed
Blade: Wilkinson Sword
Brush: Simpson Duke 1 in Best
Lather: Ogalalla Bay Rum soap + Shulton Old Spice Musk cream
AS splash: Ogalalla Bay Rum & Cedarwood
ASB: B&BW 'Woodlands' (I don't typically follow-up my AS splash with anything but my face seemed particularly dry this morning)
Make it a great day, Gents!
