Thanks!

A bit rough
I foolishly decided to use my Futur on six today - hubris from a streak of great shaves. I also shaved later than usual because I was waiting on the Salvation Army to pick up a donation. I did not use any PSO because I took a shower right before and assumed it would be enough prep. The Futur Brush made excellent lather from Reef Point Sandalwood - the scent bloomed nicely in the bowl as I hoped. The razor felt good going 6-5-6, but I got a couple of late appearing weepers and burn. TTFFC Devil's Cut has a base of sandalwood that goes quite well with this soap and helps calm my skin.
Lesson learned - don't skip PSO, and leave well enough alone on the Futur.

From clint64 post. A little backstory on this morning's shave. Three TSD friends were discussing custom artisan brushes which as happens with a group of enablers led to the Tres Amigos brush. After looking a various artisans we talked with Bob at Elite Razor about making a handle shape that he does not normally produce. We decided to pair the handle with an Envy White 2 Band knot from Nathan Clark. The final product is a joy to hold and use. The handle is very ergonomic and the knot has tremendous backbone, good scrub and excellent flow through. You can probably tell by today's SOTD photo that in addition to myself one of the 3 is @Boojum1. The 3rd Amigo will be along later with their posts. Overall I am very pleased with the results of the project but more importantly I will treasure the friendship that led to the brush.
It is an amazing brush that creates a ton of lather. clint64 installed the Envy White to perfection. @Boojum1 and clint64 where both instrumental in helping bring this project together. I value their expertise and friendship. :happy096:

Another outstanding shave today with the Bunny V3. The Bunny V3 weighs in at 52.7 grams. I thought that not having any knurling on the handle would be a problem with gripping the razor while shaving, but that turned out not to be the case. I believe there is a strong future for the Bunny V3.

Such a cool looking razor Doug [semperfi 45] - look forward to more reports as you try the different plates!

I actually only have one Schick injector blade package. There are attachment with the Bunny V3 the Notso, which is the one I'm using at present, the Mild, which would be a little less aggressive, and the Wild which would be more aggressive than the Notso. The razor is designed and made by Tom White out of Burbank California. It is doing the rounds in the U.S.A., Europe, and Canada.
I will only have the Bunny V3 for a week, then I'll pass it on to the next tester. It should come back to me in 3 or 4 weeks for me to give it another weeks workout.
Thank you for your interest. I should add that I prefer Gillette razors, and don't believe I have ever used a Schick injector. At least as far as I can remember. Then again I can't remember what I had for breakfast so you may want to take that with a grain of salt. After 2 shaves with the Bunny V3 I am very impressed.

I would love to add a Bunny to my arsenal.

Very, very nice brush Doug. I was envious when I first saw Mark's then you and Clint pop up with one. Excellent setup overall today!
