If you have to do something...

Now that’s a rage band!

Thats awesome you taking the time to figure out technique to master the General. Sometimes it has to do with the angle or pressure, and different technique works different with each razor.

I’m also glad I decided to give each razor a week straight. If I had hopped around, I’d probably not be doing as well with the shaves. Each razor so far has been great though, in its own way. I’ll admit, right now I’d still want a General or General-type razor over the others. Still 3 more to try though!

Shave 12 of 2019:

Gear: Colonial General Brass, Feather Pro blade (6; flipped), RR Big Bruce synth, Scheermonnik Delfts Wit soap, generic witch hazel, and Old Spice AS to finish!

Off to work early.

Not much to add to today’s notes, just a solid shave. I’m sad I only have one day left with it. Looking forward to seeing how the Aluminum General stacks up!

One major thing going on at the campus today, a sizable memorial service for an elder congregation member. Otherwise, it’s prep for services tomorrow and me getting to be home at a decent hour! Yay!

Have a great Saturday all!

Nice shave Chris.Are you just indicating you had flipped the blade or are you flipping before each shave ?

That’s what I usually do as well. 1 razor/soap/brush just to dial everything in.

Lol, just flipped the blade. I’m not as ninja as I used to be.

Thanks Tim!

Thanks Don. It was a bit more than I anticipated, but overall I can’t complain!

Shave 13 of 2019:

Gear: Colonial General Brass, Feather Pro blade (7; flipped), Yaqi SF synth, Elite Puke Puck soap (GD/CBL blend), generic witch hazel, Fine Platinum AS, and Fine Platinum EdT to finish!

Great shave this morning before service. The final day of the Brass General shaves went out with a bang!

Something that really helps the General shine is a little bit of skin stretching in the tough areas where one has stubborn stubble. I’d be happy to have a General as my only AC SE at this time.

Otherwise, 100% BBS and smelling like win.

Services this morning, a chore or two this afternoon, then hopefully a relaxing family day. The kids have been really uppity lately, making for some tense times at home. Only 1 of them has excuse...preteen. I guess he’s rubbing off on the others.

Have a blessed Sunday all!

Nice shave! But I didn’t know you could put the words “Elite” and “puke” together ?

 

[Dave in KY]

[SteveChuckFrank]
