A bright Sunday morning.
Crown Razor Co. (Boston, Mass.) 5/8 round point straight razor
Omega Evo synthetic brush
Stirling Spice
1970s Avon Spicy aftershave
Good stuff. Smooth and comfortable. I avoided the obvious Stirling/Old combination, but couldn't get too far away from Spice.
I'll call it a "9" today.

| Rating | 10/10 |
| Comments | This was the third day I used my Feather AS-D2 razor with a Feather blade. This combination gave me a nice, smooth shave. I did my usual four-pass shave and the result was a perfect shave. Today’s brush is a Rudy Vey creation: the B&B 2022 Contributors’ brush. I love the color and shape of the handle. I am using the Haslinger soap for the seventh consecutive day. The soap performs great but the scent is gone. The soap had remained unopened for several years. A perfect BBS shave. |

Brush: Omega 10099 Boar
Soap: Martin de Candre Fougere
Aftershave: Proraso Green Splash
An extremely comfortable shave today. Sheffield Steel and a Coticle edge are a pretty remarkable combo.
This little Boar brush whips up a great lather while providing plenty of scrub.
I’ll rate this a 10/10 for comfort, results, and confirmation that I’m learning my new Coticle and more importantly, that I’m going to thoroughly enjoy getting acquainted with it.

Another Vintage Gillette Sunday morning shave. And another wonderful, smooth, relaxing shave.
I know, I know ... I'm a broken record. But, man, I do love these vintage Gillette Super Speeds. Nothing better. A great way to end up the week.

Pre-shave • Neutrogena Fragrance-free Bar Soap
Cream • Musgo Real Classic Scent
Bowl • Cayuen (Large)
Brush • Omega Evo Sapphire Blue
Razor • 1964 Gillette Super Speed
Blade • Gillette 7 O'Clock Super Stainless (1)
*Warm Shower*
Aftershave • Thayers Unscented with Bootlegger's Arctic Lime Blast
Eye Gel • Neutrogena Hydro Boost
An excellent Sunday morning shave. A little over 3 days of growth knocked down. No weepers or irritation. I don't think I've ever tried a 7 O'Clock Super Stainless in my '64 Super Speed before. A superb pairing for me. I haven't used the Arctic Lime Blast in a while and it was quite nice. I'll be using this more often as Summer approaches.
10/10.
I'm looking forward to having lunch at Taj. It's my favorite Indian restaurant in Nashville.
Have a blessed Sunday, friends.

If I had stopped after one pass when I had a nice DFS it would have been higher. Pressed on for bbs and have some irritation.

Good to have you back!First post in quite awhile. Life got complicated and time was short. I missed this community and I’m glad to be back.
Razor: Teramasa Tamahagane Kamisori
Stones: Coticle, Water of Ayr, Dan’s Translucent Ark
Brush: Semogue Pegasus
Soap: MSC Bloom
Aftershave: Stirling Sharp Dresses Man
A fresh touch up honing session last night with a new Coticle and Water of Ayr from Griffith Shaving Goods and then finished on my Dan’s Translucent Ark provided a very comfortable and keen edge.
It’ll take a little time to dial in my technique with the new Coti & Scotch Hone but I’m happy with the first results.
As an Omega fan boy, I readily admit that the Semogue Pegasus Boar is great. I love the size, bristles, and balance of scrub and softness. If you likeyou might one to try one.
A very comfortable shave that yielded great results. No irritation or issues. 9.5/10.
