Comments: A worn-out blade #78 provided today’s barely acceptable shave this morning. I had to do lots of buffing for a smooth face feel. Tomorrow, I will begin using a corked and glass stropped blade #79. With rain storm(s) due tonight and tomorrow morning, I hope to add to my lathering inventory.

Very nice no rush shave this morning. Super close to BBS, but I had a small area with short stubble so no cigar, but I am not upset over that. Splendid shave and all around awesome.

This was the fourth shave with my ATT S-1 razor and PolSilver Super Iridium blade. T. The four-pass face and two-pass head shave gave me a BBS shave without any nicks or irritation. Today’s brush is the large 28 mm synthetic by Maggards. I prefer large brushes. However, on this shave the soap kept running off to the sides and I had to use my fingers to put the soap back to the tips. Probably too much water. The Cella soap continues to make a nice, slick later. Today is the 29th shave from the block of soap I cut out. It was a perfect BBS shave. Have a great day and weekend, folks.

The Twig always delivers a smooth shave, although not always the closest. Today was no exception; a delightful shave with zero irritation, only smooth sailing ...
Such a great design.
