A nice face lather today with the DS, I am not sure what model it is? (@Boycie83 ?)
I have been taking particular notice this week of the areas that require buffing after the initial 2 passes and today, in these areas, i slowed my pace and shortened the shave stroke, mainly on the devils whirlpools, my chin and top lip.
Result BBS in 2 passes. Mind you, this is with the Vector with a 1 shave blade in it.
I will see how this goes over the next week.
Feeling and smelling gooood!
Happy Birthday and Anniversary @alfie5542 .
Stay Safe and Enjoy your day All

@alfie5542 - what he said - enjoy both - I.Happy Birthday and Anniversary
You should share your vintage razors with us here:Morning all, just a stellar shave this morning. I haveused all these products before and this combo is just great.
Lovely Super Adjustable loaded up a fresh GSB and dialled in on 4 is just about perfect. Smooth and mild but getting the job done.
Lovely three pass shave. Smooth as can be. The Super Adjustable is about as good as it can get for me. Don't get me wrong I love my Fatboys and Slims but I really enjoy the shaves from the Super. I have a NOS 69 Gold Super 109 still in the package that I stare at lovingly. Stay safe and enjoy your shaves!
