OCtober Focus

Today is my final shave in my OCtober focus. It's been a great month using some OC razors that haven't had much attention and my Timeless OC. The Gillette OC and Gillette Goodwill 1930's Ball End both turned out to provide excellent shaves. My blades where Gillette Silver Blue, Platinum, and Feather Platinum. The blades all performed outstanding. The extra work with the Timeless OC, not to mention some good advice from members went from good shaves to great shaves. The using of different handles provided excellent feeling between stainless steel, aluminum, and Ti and how they helped or took away from great shaves with different heads.
All in all learned very much and had a good time reading posts and getting advice. Thanks one and all.

Once again the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain is upon us. The Celts believed that at this time of year, the veil that separates the world as we know it, from the Otherworld, is stretched to it's thinnest, making contact between the living, and those that have gone on before possible.... In honor of the Ancient Celts ..

Warm Water Splash
Czech & Speake "88" Shave Soap
Simpsons M6 Manchurian in faux Horn
Ralf Aust 7/8 Spanish Point
Scrupleworks Vegetable Tanned Horsehide .. 30/50
Bloc Osma
Witch Hazel
Jaguar Performance EdT

The Simpsons M6 is new to me .. Could I have finally found the perfect brush for my good self? Probably not, but there's a lot to like about this one. My preferred size at 22mm, it just works the way I like a brush to work.. The handle is sized and shaped perfectly. What more could I ask??? I don't know yet, but this one is definitely very nice!

Here's to another great week, gents...
