Nice few shaves, Dave and glad to hear that you're starting to feel human again.

I'm real interested in hearing your thoughts about the SS General, as I almost got that instead of the Brass (almost bought both)...since you've used both, I'm interested in hearing what differences there are.

Sips to me tomorrow since it's a holly day today. Right off the bat I think I will like the similar weight and a more grippy handle even though I had no issues with the brass. You know how it is when they say you can't get it anymore..........I have to try ?
 
One Blade February Challenge

Monday February 18, 2019 2nd shave of the day
2019 Shave # 51 ( 106 Consecutive Shaves )

Razor: ATT SE1 w/Brass Handle
Blade: Kai Captain Mild Pink Blade (Unknown uses)

Brush: Sorrentino w/Cashmere

Soap: Haslinger Shafmilch Rasierseife
Aftershave 1: Thayers Cucumber

Aftershave 2: Proraso Green Splash

Well I was itching to try the SE1 and felt rough from this mornings shave not lasting. Felt some irritation so wanted an elite soap for protection. Decided to lather up a sample of GD Earl Grey Gelato and felt my face light up. I think the blade this morning left irritation and has been binned. This soap will be fine 1 time and light me up another. Combination of the irritation from this morning obviously was a bad mix. Cleaned the soap good and will make small samples out of it to give away. Went with the Haslingers and got a nice 2 pass shave even though I could see raised red welts on my neck and spots on the face from the soap and previous shaves blade. BUT I'm smooth again and after some Thayers and Proraso I feel and smell good. Face feels like it's calming down. I can tell I like the ATT SE1 head and we'll see with more use under better conditions. Looking forward to comparing it to the General when it comes in to see which I prefer.

 
Razor head looks good on the prototype handle! I’m sure you’ll enjoy it with that new blade.
 
I’m kinda wondering if the guy making the razors could etch the TSC logo on the cap. Twould be epic!

2019 Shave # 52 ( 107 Consecutive Shaves )

Razor: Rockwell 6s Plate #5
Blade: Sputnik blade #3 (1) Blade #2 (5) Blade #1 (18)

Brush: Rubberset 400 w/Synthetic

Soap: Noble Otter Barrbarr
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70

Aftershave 2: Oleo Soapworks Sandalwood

Up at 2 after not sleeping well. Got a floor job done and went to check on my parents by 6. After leaving their house I was like.......I don't feel good and have things to get done......like some sleep, before services tonight. And before I knew it the truck was pointed for home. After getting home it was time for a mid morning shave with a fresh Sputnik. Felt nice and smooth for the first shave and I'm going to pay more attention to when it drops off this time. No more stretching it for me as I have 2 more that can get me thru the rest of the month. Nice lather and picked this soap which that dangerous guy pif'd me because I saw it has sandalwood as 1 of it's scents and this aftershave had the same word on it, "sandalwood". They paired nice and I like the feel of this oleo splash. Will have to try the other 2 new to me from this company soon (Empire and Jacmel) Maybe I'll get the soaps eventually if that Nurse guy uses his a few times and gives a review with experience........ I really need to lay low for awhile as I have gotten numerous calls from Texas and Louisiana claiming the local authorities will be picking me up soon if I don't call the number back. Seems I have 4 "serious accusations" that I need to answer for. Something tells me I could slip them some money and make it all go away but then what would I buy my shaving products with ? Gotta run.....................shhhhhhhh. I wasn't here. Have a good rest of the day Cadre !!!

 
Sorry you didn’t get a good night’s rest. Make sure you do some shave videos on the run...Outlaw Shaver could be a thing!
