Hey Dave in KY I planned to use my Raptor this month but SEptember ran out of days (or maybe I planned poorly  Mad). I hope to use it tomorrow or Sunday. 

SEptember 30th

Ti Vector 
Schick Proline P-30 (1)
Green Ray Tribble brush 
Mike's Natural Soap Unscented 

I do believe that for me, the Proline blade is the best feeling blade. This was a blade from a new pack, and dang if it didn't give me a little bit of trouble loading. But I threatened it with my hammer and all turned out well!

Stirling SEptember Closes Out -- Hurricane Ian Edition

It has been a treat to focus on single edge razors this month (and to finally use each of the Stirling soaps I have at least once). Thanks MaineYooper for hosting the party!

I got to know the Feather AC better, building the confidence to go two passes. I am not fully converted to the open blade format. It does do wonders for trimming around the moustache and chin area. I like the accuracy it gives for detail. I know it is my skill level, but I am not sure I will continue on using it for the cheeks and neck. The safety razors provide for me far more efficiency and comfort.

My final shaves this week featured Stirling Triumph, the BlackBird Vector, and the Feather AC. And I'll also provide a picture of the current state of affairs outside my front door in the South Carolina Lowcountry. I am 25 miles inland and not near any of the inland waterways where storm surge would be an issue. Lights have flickered a few times this morning, but power is still on.
