That video was unpleasant in many ways.

2020 Shave # 75 ( 492 Consecutive Shaves )
Razor: Hiram Commander Plate 3
Blade: Feather Pro (2)
Brush: @Graydog Custom Quilt
Soap: A&E Revolution
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
Aftershave 2: A&E Revolution
Fragrance: Spice Bomb EdT
Some Great things about the shave today and some good. The GREAT is the brush and 1 of my favorite scented soap/splash combos. A&E Revolution with my new to me @Graydog Custom Quilt brush. I LOVE this thing and can't thank him enough. It not only is GORGEOUS but it gave 3 passes of phenomenal lather with ease. The Hiram was actually "Good" today although not great. The 3 plate was installed and although I have to keep reminding myself to tilt the head back slightly on strokes to get better blade engagement I came up with a decent shave. Close enough* with no nicks or discomfort but I can tell the whiskers will return prematurely. I need to buy some Feather Super Pro's to try and see if they help this MILD shaver. I loved Revolution scent from the moment I got it, but never knew it was their take on Spice Bomb. I get it now, Spice Bomb with leather and gun smoke. I wish it wasn't discontinued and hope they bring it back at some point so I can reload. Have a great day Cadre !!!

Thanks Bruce, I couldn't have done better if I had to select what kind I'd want. Graydog does BEAUTIFUL work. Was SOOOO kind of him !!

That brush is a beauty! Soap sounds pretty amazing too, hopefully they bring it back. I was also looking at Oleo's Wayoh because it too is their interpretation of Spice Bomb.

2020 Shave # 76 ( 493 Consecutive Shaves )
Razor: Vintage Krect Spiral Slant
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (1)
Brush: @Graydog Custom Quilt
Soap: SBSW Hook
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
Aftershave 2: SBSW Hook
Fragrance: BVLGARI Man in Black Essence
Saw someone posted a "Want to Buy" one of these razors elsewhere and decided it was time to pull mine out and shave some more with it and see if I wanted to get it refinished. Conclusion after a very close comfortable shave was I need to keep this slant razor due to it's great smooth shave, so I will eventually get it refinished in nickle. Hook was on duty with a 2nd use of the Graydog Custom Quilt Twinsie Brush #2. Maybe I'll name it "GCQTB2"......................
Maybe some further thoughts before deciding on that...........Video uploading. Have a Stellar Day Cadre !!!
