Single Pass. Looking Good.
• Pre: Clearly Natural Vitamin E
• Razor: EverReady MCMXIV
• Blade: GEM PTFE (a lot)
• Brush: RV Arabian Knight Black Fibre
• Soap: Martin de Candre - Fougère (46)
• Post: Krampert's Finest Bay Rum
Didn't have much to shave today so I just did a single north-south pass for a very comfy DFS. Definitely not as smooth as I usually am after a 2-pass shave but I look good and I'll have more to now down tomorrow; hopefully with my new Cade Plisson brush.

Re: SOTD: January 20 thru January 27
THURSDAY A.M.
PRE: QED French Red Clay Soap
SHAVE CREAM: TOBS Rose (tube)
BRUSH: Omega Boar 81569
RAZOR/BLADE: Gem Push Button with Gem PTFE SS Blade (1)
POST: Alum Crystal Deo as A/S astringent .......Clubman Eau de Portugal Tonic .........Clinique for Men Post Shave Healer
Haven't shaved with a lathering shave cream in recent memory, but decided to audition the TOBS for inclusion in my travel kit....
in mid-February we'll be off to Las Vegas for nephew's "destination Wedding," for 6 days." Maybe testing it in my first shave in
3 days, with a new blade, in a relatively unfamiliar razor wasn't very fair or smart.
But tentatively, the results of a 2 1/2 pass shave were more than satisfactory. There was a trade-off between closeness and
incredible glide... I found the slickness, compared to my tallow soaps, remarkable...no tug or pull, but not so close on the first
pass. A few more shaves, possibly with a more aggressive Gem, will hopefully provide a lot more feedback.

I'm glad I am done with the Super-Max after today's shave. Although adequate, it just can't compare to the high-quality vintage blades I usually use.
