Catie’s Bubbles Connecticut Shade today. 20 seconds to load the Turtleship Silvertip brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Vintage Schick Plus Platinum still in the Gillette NEW SC. Excellent smooth, close shave. I finished with Country Club Southern Oud aftershave.

Last Day of Austere August:

* CFG GTB
* Dogclaration Seascape
* '77 Gillette Super Adjustable
* GSB (28)
* CFG GTB Splash

It's the last day of Austere August and I shaved 28 out of 31 days. I think it took me about 2-1/2 weeks to dial in my lather but once I did it was amazing. This has been a fun exercise and since it's already in my bowl I'm going to use this soap until it's gone. This brush has been amazing as well. It makes a beautiful lather and feels great on the skin. The razor had been great but I found I need to pay attention to the blade alignment. It feels like one side was a little more mild than the other. Having said that it may have been the blade itself.

It's been fun, but I think I'll be making a change tomorrow.

EJ DE87 razor
Gillette Silver Blue blade
Shave Revolution Metaloid synthetic brush
TSD Iced Lemon Grass SS
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
TSD 2X Mentholated Lemon Grass A/S

Have used the EJ head on the original handle and the Scotch & Stowe handle. Both work great, nice shave with either. But I think I prefer this head on the Scotch & Stowe handle. Just a tad more effective while remaining smooth and I like the feel of the handle better. At any rate, another great shave and I'm ready to go. Now go enjoy your day folks.

I started this morning with the Saiver, single blade this time --with its included shim -- and blood soon flowed from a number of locations. I said to myself, that ain't right (I'm quick). $.40 Gillette Click to the rescue. Two pass plus BBS all around. Tian Li.
