Ladas SS (4)
Wilkinson stick (8)
Bruce brush
Blue Steel aftershave mix
Great shave, had to do some buffing on my neck so I'm done with the Ladas SS blade after 4 uses.
The Wilkie stick is about 1/4 or so of a stick, left over after making a twist up stick container from two full shave sticks. I have it in my plastic salsa bowl. I used a soldering iron to make doodles in the bottom to give soaps something to adhere to.
The Blue Steel aftershave mix that Spider recommended was a pleasant surprise. I also made a 50/50 mix with Florida Water and Skin Bracer, I'll try that tomorrow. I'm out of Clubman Lime Sec, some is on the way, but I'd be interested to try that with Florida Water as well.

I do! I find myself going less and less to the other neighborhood. The only rooms I go to there are 365 days of shaving and 3017.

Salsa bowls from Walmart are smooth so stealing this idea, THANKS

I put the proto lather on before lathering and rinse the tub clean before putting away.

Game Changer 84 OC
Lord Platinum (2)
Palmolive Lather (18)
Maggards 18mm synthetic brush
Skin Bracer/Florida Water mix
Yesterday's shave was about 3 pm. I work mostly nights. Got off work at 6, shaved about 6:30 am.
Didn't have a whole lot of stubble, but shaved anyway. Gave lathered with Palmolive Lather and that tiny Maggards 18mm synthetic brush. Amazingly, I had enough for my usual two full passes and two extra neck passes. I was pleasantly surprised by the performance of that small brush.

Great shave. The GC OC 84 has a lot of blade feel. Not sure if I would use it for and every day razor, as opposed to a rotation for a few days.
Headed out in about an hour to get some motorcycle time in. And some cold beer somewhere along the way, lol. Only one or two, I know my limit. They'll go down quite nicely in the heat, supposed to be 90 degrees today.
