$1 Store Razor Challenge - Combined with 1st Stunt Shave = Fast 3 pass shave in under 5 min.
Friday January 25, 2019
2019 Shave # 26
Razor: $1 Assured Dollar Store Razor Challenge (shave #3)
Blade: Assured Dollar Store (1)
Brush: Stirling Synthetic
Soap: LNHC Doc Holiday
Aftershave 1: Thayers Cucumber
Aftershave 2: Proraso Green
Combined the 3rd shave with the $1 Store razor and blade with 1st stunt shave which is a fast shave to show what can be done if you're in a hurry. Not the smartest combining these 2 shaves in one but I was inspired to do by NurseDave's mashup with Don and Rich combining things. I did go for a new Assured blade (I won't say fresh or sharp) Since I'm writing this, it's obvious I survived but I'm looking forward to some more enjoyable and relaxing shaves now with hardware and software of my choice being used at a pace I enjoy. Have a great day Cadre !!

2019 Shave # 27
Razor: Rockwell 6s Plate 5
Blade: Pol Silver SI (9)
Brush: Shavemac 2 Band Silvertip
Soap: DG Trismegistus
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla
Aftershave 2: Terre D' Hermes
So the best thing about trying things for science that while being serviceable shaves, end up not being the best shaves or experiences is that when you go back to some nice quality gear your face and mood are like Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh !!! What an enjoyable shave. The sky is brighter with the sun shining, the birds are singing and life just feels like it's firing on all cylinders..............................who am I kidding !! It's the heart of winter and I'm a window cleaner but the shave was great. May try the assured blade in the Rockwell at some point and a Pol Silver in the Assured razor as Chris suggested just to see. Just not rght away. Have a great day Cadre !!!

Watching your Dollart Tree Razor/Quick-Stunt Shave Right now...and wow! It is fast! By the time I started it and to the time I read the rest of your posts in this thread...and by the time I have typed this...you are just about done! I would even point out that you remove your glasses also...making it doubly a dangerous stunt shave! You sir earn my respect...and possibly the title...Dangerous Dave!
You may not be the smartest man for attempting this shave...but you definitely prove your point! And you look good too! All kidding aside...I would NOT shave that quick with that razor! Kudos man...kudos!

Now who's sounding a little creepy ? Thanks for the kind words Don and I updated my sig line too. Now f I could just qualify for a "nurse" title........
That's Awesome!
Just a form to fill in for a Colonel title. Then we can go to the Derby! But that event is insanely expensive. You can be a Major though.

Nice shave Dave! Always nice to use good gear after a questionable setup.
I haven't the courage to try this kind of Dollar Shave gear shave, though once I was in one of the stores and checked them out. Glad to see you're back to quality gear, sir! Love the brush, very handsome.
