- Prep: Rite Aid Skin Cleansing Cream & Hot Towel
- Brush: Knotty Badger Chubby 2 refurb
- Soap: Tabac
- Razor: '48 Eversharp-Schick Injector
- Blade: Ted Pella PTFE coated Injector (shave 1)
- A/S: Thayer's Lavender Witch Hazel Toner & AOS Lavender ASB
- EDT: Tabac
- Result: It is amazing how great a shave you can get with a brand new blade. Was able to get a BBS shave without the Oil Pass today. Did get a little nick on my upper lip but a quick hit with the styptic pencil and the blood was stopped. Did face lather with the silvertip badger brush today. Found the lower set knot works great for that technique. Got a enough lather for 3 passes and could have gone 4 with it and a bit more water.

Just a quick note guys. I edited most of the posts above including the original one to correct the dates for this week's SOTD thread and posts. Not to worry, I did not mess with the rest of your posts.

Gonna try switching to night time shaves to see if that extra sleep in the morning helps. Not to great tonight (hot water out and not much to shave). However, we will see how this goes as the week continues.

GEM Featherweight Ted Pella day 2 VDH soap Vintage Ever-Ready brush Old Spice cologne
Why do I even bother with any other combo. The VDH soap and Ted Pella blade seem to be made for each other.
