This is the sixth and final excellent shave with the Timeless SS SB .68 razor and Polsilver blade combination. I usually don’t get as many shaves with a blade. However, this combination is an exception. I got a smooth, BBS shave without the need for any touch-ups. Today’s brush is a boar brush, the Omega 81052. This brush does a superb job of making plenty of lather. The brush loads and performs perfectly. I used the Razor Rock Classic Soap for the 53rd. time. Have a wonderful day, folks.
 
Shaving Soap: Stirling Black Cherry
Splash: Stirling Black Cherry
Brush: PAA Star Wisp
Razor: Rockwell 6S Plate 4

I have a bunch of Derby Extra blades which I am using once each and tossing. The Stirling Soap and Splash excellent. The PAA Star Wisp very good. The Rockwell 6S 11 out of 10
Derby Extra ok blade. overall shave very good.

Eau de Parfum: Noble Otter - The Noir et Vanille

An excellent, relaxing shave! I had to buy another Eau de Parfum because one of my friends who visits often always spays some on herself when she leaves, and I was running a little low.:cuppa:

This razor is probably the smoothest and most comfortable of the GEM style razors I've tried. It seems to shave just slightly less closely than the Clog-Pruf, but for a daily driver I think it works great.
 
Think getting a perfect 10 Shave is just not possible for some people.

Recall a guy is High School I will call CC, not sure where family was from.

But guy would come to school after shaving daily, his beard was Black.

He always looked like he did not shave, as his beard always showed on face.

He and Boys VP had many talks, guy never looked clean shavin.
 
Thursday 9/19/24 morning shave

Razor:Henson AL13+
Blade:Feather Platinum (3)
Soap/Cream:House of Mammoth: Alive
Brush:Muhle STF 25mm

# Days Growth:1.75
Pre Shave:Warm water, RE pre-shave bar with a drop of jojoba oil
Post Shave:Cold water, Thayers, Nivea

Sharpness:10
Comfort:9.5
Face/Neck:BBS / BBS-


Skipped the Jermyn pre-shave to see how much difference it made. Result was very usable but a little less protective. Still an excellent shave. I'm sure the Mammoth soap helped greatly.
