2019 Shave # 97 ( 150 Consecutive Shaves )
Razor: Blackland Vector
Blade: Schick Proline P-30 (1)
Brush: Stirling Tuxedo
Soap: CBL Soaps Ghost Banana
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla
Aftershave 2: Pitralon

1st shave with CBL Ghost Banana and it was AWESOME !!! Although even sitting it out for 2 days it remains VERY soft, I LOVE this stuff. Performance as always incredible and the double cooling is amazing. Thanks for making this @CBLindsay

1st shave with the Vector by Blackland Razors and well..............................I just finished ordering one from the site. Video of the shave in the VLOG section and thread on the Tour Pass Around. I'll say the comments here are for me and you may feel differently. In short this thing is nimble and EXACTLY what I was looking for in an SE Razor. Smoother than the Rx and much more efficient. It was just the 1st shave with it but I can tell it's what I want as my only se razor and will only get better. I will be selling the SS Colonial General to help fund the Vector. I could send this one on to Kyle but I want more shaves with it before and I'm allowed a week. Thanks to @GlazedBoker for giving me the opportunity to try before I buy and have certainty before laying out serious money. Can't say enough about how generous Gus is in general but especially with his high end gear for peoples benefit. Thanks not only for doing the pass, but for doing it here at The Cadre (y) The Pitralon was the PERFECT match for the Ghost Banana. Have a great day Cadre !!!

Good stuff Dave! Has to be a record try a razor and buy. Glad it worked out. Softens the blow a bit when you know it's the one.....
 
What will be even better is when you fools talk this thing up so much that I have to order one before I get to try it so I get the sale price.
 
Sounds like some sweet shaves are heading my way soon!

Take your time with it Dave. I you keep it for your week it will land almost perfectly on my 4 dayshift week which would be great for me.

So if I mail Thursday or Friday, which is better for you or does it matter ?
