SOTD 7-14-15

Side note:  Starting today I can get back to my normal shave routine!  My wife was on vacation so my shave schedule was messed up for the last two weeks!  I did shave but most of the time, if was a last minute run out of the house kinda shave as it seemed like we were always on the run to go somewhere!

Comments:  Today was first shave back to a normal routine!  I did I did get one weeper but no irritation today and I ended up with a DFS/BBS shave.  I am not normally a fan of Voskhod blades as they generally don't seem to work for me but in the Wolfman I had no issues with the blade at all, at least on this shave!  I also had no issues with the Soap Commander as usual, as it is very good soap. The soap lathers pretty easily and gives me very good protection throughout the shave. A great shave today!

Please feel free to leave comments on any items used as I enjoy reading them to see what others say about the gear I am using/trying out! Of course, YMMV!

Thx.

Tabacstag!
Today I returned to old reliable Tabac, though I refrained from making überlather so as to better evaluate the oils, to take the soap out of the equation while I attempt to evaluate pre shave oils.  I used a Personna blade today and tried dialing down the FB to compensate, starting with a pass at seven rather than my usual nine.  I think it worked, but I could have dialed down further for the last pass.  No drama, great shave.  I finished up with KFBR - my favorite bay rum aftershave.  I have maybe one more use before I need to get a refill.
