While not a fan of DE shavettes, I do love this Feather DX. I never fail to get an excellent shave with it. I also own a Feather SS, but don’t like it because of its blade-holding design. It also shaves well, but because of the pronounced lip holding the blade, it doesn’t shave like a true straight angle-wise. I find that my technique with the DX is virtually identical to using a regular straight. The Rex Ambassador also shaves beautifully, particularly wide open and riding the cap. Both mug and dome shaves were superb this election-day morning. The Nancy Boy Signature Cream and Cooling Gel topped off a spectacular shave. I feel cool, velveteen smooth, refreshed and ready for the day.

RAZOR: Feather DX (Mug), Rex Ambassador (Dome)
BLADE: Feather AC (Mug), Feather DE (Dome)
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: RazoRock Badger
CREAM: Nancy Boy Signature
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with Glyce Glycerin soap followed by Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Nancy Boy Signature Cooling Gel.

Tabac with Borotalco finish

First time using a frameback, I had high expectations for this shaver and it absolutely did not disappoint.
No stropping as it came finished with a bevel set on 300 and 600 Diamond, then 6k Japanese wet stone, 12k Japanese oil stone, then stropped on linen with paste and finished on leather 50 strokes. 
I haven't ever finished a razor this way but it just goes to show that there are many great ways to shave a whisker.

Enjoy your Tuesday boys!
