SOTD 6 December 2020

Soap: Pb Tobacco Blue
Brush: Matilda
Razor: Lindburg Munchen
I didn't think the Lindburg Munchen was at the top its game the other day so put the blade under the scope and was confronted by some serious isolated bevel corrosion. No wonder it didn't feel right. So a session on the stones and we're back in business. This blade has some micro pitting which does extend out to the edge so I don't know if that is what makes it susceptible to corrosion on the bevel like that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Pre: Pb PSE
Soap: Stirling - Ben Franklin
Brush: Epsilon White Horse
Razor: Vector
Blade: Schick Proline (4)

 

[StratMan]

Pre: Shower
Razor: JAWS
Blade: Gillette 7’Oclock Yellow
Brush: Yaqi 26mm Tuxedo
Soap: B&M Lavanille
Post: Son of Zeus Splash

Been a while since I pulled the JAWS out and it certainly didn’t disappoint. These blades in this razor is truly a match made in heaven, I think I have @Gargravarr to thank for that suggestion?

 

[Razor Burn]

Brush: TF Customs Blue & Gold 30mm tuxedo 2019 Charity Auction
Razor: Rocca V4 R95
Blade: Gillette Rubie Platinum (1)
Soap: AP Reserve Coolabah LE
Pre: Shower // PAA Prickly Pear mentholated pre shave soap
Post: AP Reserve Passione A/S splash // Nivea Sensitive Post Shave balm
WTG, ATG, Touchups = BBS

First shave trying the Rubie and the shave was buttery smooth with great efficiency. History shows me that Rubies tend to work best with the aggressive razors by taming the blade feel and I hold high hopes this trend will continue with the Rocca V4...?!?! So far this shave is 2nd favourite after Wizamets & Yellows.
Stay Safe & Happy Shaves!

I found 1200 more Gillette Stainless.

Purchased 1000.

That's about 1300 blades , enough for a lifetime.

Yep, it's such a great combo, I don't use any other blade with that razor any more. Maybe if I ever score a few spoilers, I'll give that a go...

No he is not jealous or upset. Sometimes you come up with the funniest ideas. .

If @Razor Burn wanted any blades, he could pm me anytime and I would accommodate him no problems.
