2019 Shave # 79 ( 134 Consecutive Shaves )
Razor: Game Changer .84
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (6)
Brush: Razorock 400
Soap: CBL Cigar Shop Cowboy
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
Aftershave 2: Avon Windjammer

Last of the rotation thru my 16 CBL Soaps was Cigar Shop Cowboy. Leather? YES please and the awesome face feel that keeps me coming back for more. Had a great shave with the GC .84 and shave 6 on a GSB. Decided to top off with the new to me Avon Windjammer that has a nice Citrusy scent. Another favorite from Avon I'll need to get backups for. Have an awesome day Cadre !!

Great stuff Dave! Delta Echo has some awesome looking color combinations that take a plain ol vintage razor and bring some flair and color to a classic piece. I think it is a interesting idea to revamp and customize a razor to look exactly what you envisioned. Its a beautiful razor and hope you are happy with the results!⏳📬

Thanks Brad, Delta Echo has gone the way of the Dodo Bird, I used North Shore Razor this time

Great shave Dave! I’ll admit, the artistry of the Timeless is leagues above the simplicity of the GC, but it’s be a shame for the Timeless just to sit!

Thanks Chris and agreed
 
Another great shave this morning Dave! As always of course. I'm impressed that not only do you have all the CBL soaps...but you have tried them all! Is there a favorite among them? Is it your favorite just because of scent or do you have a favorite based on formulation? Inquiring minds want to know! And Windjammer is a good one...glad you liked it!
 
Good question @dangerousdon I should pay more attention to it but don't see a huge difference in formulas myself. I know you detect definite improvement in the hemp oil. Can't say it was discernable for me. Scent I love so many and for different reasons. Orange Dirt a perfect match for Terre d'Hermes, Ghost Pineapple and Dragons Blood in the Ghost mixes and I could go on. @CBLindsay does such a good job especially with strength to enjoy it's hard for me to pick a favorite.
 
I guess Dave's more of a Fanboy than me..... I don't have ALL the scents!

2019 Shave # 80 ( 135 Consecutive Shaves )
Razor: ABC Shell (1 ring model) Gillette
Blade: Rapira Platinum Lux (2)
Brush: Shavemac Ebonite 2 Band Silvertip
Soap: Strop Shoppe Teakwood
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
Aftershave 2: Anthony's Barber Shop Bay Rum

Using a frankenrazor I acquired recently. Top cap and handle are ABC Shell design (1 ring model) Razor and base plate is a Property of US Army Gillette. Decided to get a vintage razor in the works since I'm starting the rotation of the second shelf of soap in the den and up are 4 Strop Shoppe soaps. Today was Teakwood which has a scent exactly as described. Nice strength of scent and a good lather although I had it a little dry (I should have added more water) Still an awesome close shave that I topped off with Anthony's Barber Shop Bay Rum. Have a great day Cadre !!

Still Love that brush Dave! And that Teakwood soap is a nice smelling and performing soap!
 
That is a nice brush! I really like my own two band Shavemac.

I saw that you used CBL California Sunrise recently. What do you think of that particular soap and scent?
