SOTD "FREE WEEK" November 30th - December 6th, 2015

Prep - Shower / Woods Of Windsor Cedar Woods soap / Pre-lather / 3 min steam
Razor - Gillette NEW Long Comb
Blade - Perma-Sharp Super (#2)
Brush - Omega 20106
Soap - Arko
After - Frozen towel / Alum & WH Mix
Result - BBS

It's been quite some time since the LC has graced my stubble - and it tells! Usual smooth result from the blades but it's not exactly irritation free, even the rarely seen alum block made a guest appearance.
I had more than a few interruptions and constant noise throughout, something that has actually never happened me in the almost two years since going traditional, so I was a little wound-up to say the least. I reckon a combination of these factors has left me less than satisfied tonight. This is not something I'm accustomed to!

Great post gentlemen. I must say that I am starting to fall in love with this whole 3017 thing. It really helps me tune in my lathers for that particular soap. I say everyone should give it a try atleast once. Best wishes to you all.

Thanks. This is such a great knot, and I really like the size and weight of the VL beehive. It's cool that it's a readily available brush that competes with the big boys.
