OCtober 2017

Good luck. I'd break the blade if I was you. Do it with the wrapper on.

Yes Kevin,
I will definitely be snapping the blade and paying particular attention to how it is sitting in the razor.

Seeing half an uncovered blade dancing round would scare the sh*t* out of me.

Count me in. I will be rotating through these three razors during the month.

Sounds good, luckily I don't have to shave for work so it makes it a little easier for me to grow a little more stubble for my Blackbird to mow down. It's the best way to get to know a razor well. Look forward to it.

I'm going to dip in and out of OCtober if that's okay guys, as I don't think I could use an OC every day and keep my face intact.

I'll make sure that I use all of the OC's I have (British Gillette NEW's, a Rotbart NEW, an Aristocrat OC, and an ATT M2 and SE2) over the course of the month and may even use one side of my Ikon OSS as well. [emoji846]

I'll also dip in and out if that's OK, Folks. I only have a couple of OCs: a Gillette New and a Fa Tip Piccolo. But I doubt I could avoid SEs for the whole month.

Hi, Jan, folks, I'm also in, for every other day shaves. I own a bunch of them, so they can rotate a little bit. My October soap it will be Jabonman Rose Bourbon that I received three days ago. A very good stuff, surpassed by it's matched balm. Brutal scent. A rose is a .

Pre: Warm water face wash
Brush: Vie-Long 13052 Horse
Soap: WS Stick
Razor: Gillette Old Type Thick Cap
Blade: Treet Dura-Sharp
Post: Warm then cold water rinse, Faena Esperia ASL

Over thirty days of SE shaves my DEs were feeling a bit neglected, so I caved in and reached for one of my favourites.
Also, I like my soap sticks and have seen this one get a lot of praise on here, so thought I would give a go. Not bad at all, the scent's better when lathered, nice and slick and good post shave.
