It's been a tough week with not much sleep so I finished work early today and decided to refresh with a shave. I'm a big fan of the 3one6 and therefore in a minority. The GSB goes very well with it and 2 passes were enough to leave me content with the finish. I didn't feel the need to chase glass-smooth today.The Eboracum has a really nice and light cooling effect from the peppermint but there's a warm note that comes through from the Cedarwood. It won't satisfy the menth-heads that want Baltic contact on their face but it's a nice unique scent that brings the summer and winter together. That's my attempt at describing the fragrance!
you'll have to ask @Satanfriendly for a poetic description but a blend of Summer and Winter sounds good

That is a fine selection of single edges - apart from the Supply and Hawk - I have the rest in the den - all very good razors in their differing ways - I think it is about time you lost your se 'virginity?' I was a bit apprehensive at first - but never looked back - for me - they are easier to use than de razors - blade choice was important in my experience - a Proline in the General raises it from simply excellent to genius - the modern Japanese twin blade in the Schick - ditto. Each to their own - see what works for you. Once you have worked your way through the razors - get back to me - if you want to try the Cobra - woahhahahaha - big scary laugh. Try an ER Streamline - I can help you out with that too - the very much more adult version of the 1912 - then the Cobra - yours - I.Thank you Iain. I may take up your kind offer in the future. I'm still yet to lose my SE virginity and have an ER1912, Hawk V2, SS General, Supply V1 and Schick L to use first (yep, a bout of RAD earlier in the year!).
I'd probably call myself a fan of mid-road aggression, or Mr Average. I enjoy the Rex on #2-2.5, a Gillette adjustable on 5-6, the GC 0.84 and the EJ 3one6.
Thanks Iain, much appreciated. As soon as the blade in the 3one6 is done, I'll give the 1912 a try.That is a fine selection of single edges - apart from the Supply and Hawk - I have the rest in the den - all very good razors in their differing ways - I think it is about time you lost your se 'virginity?'

Spot on with that Iain,That is a fine selection of single edges - apart from the Supply and Hawk - I have the rest in the den - all very good razors in their differing ways - I think it is about time you lost your se 'virginity?'

Soap: Signature Soaps Hibernia
Razor: OneBlade Core/Feather FHS-10
Brush: Razorock 400 synth
A/S: Nivea 2 Phase
Balm: Bart's Amber & Moroccan Jasmine
I'm off work today, struck down by man flu, so was in for my Postie to hand over a package from the former Colonies.
Inside was my bargain OneBlade Core, so having bugger all else to do other than watch daytime tv and YouTube I decided to take it for a spin...
So I whipped up a lovely citrussy Hibernia lather with the Razorock (a kind gift etc etc etc enabler in chief @Satanfriendly), inserted a blade and set about mowing my face.
This razor scores a big fat zero on the Rob998 Aggressiveness Scale of Blade Feel. I honestly was barely aware of its presence.
However, 3 passes later, not a trace of stubble remained. When I applied the A/S I got absolutely no sting, nothing, which is a first for me.
Just goes to show how a sharp blade in a mild razor can still do the job.
A little bit of Bart's Amber and Moroccan Jasmine, which is a great and reasonably long lasting scent, to finish off a really quite enjoyable shave.
Ha ha - Hi Tony - welcome to the group. Thanks for sharing - the awkward shuffle of chairs in a community centre somewhere - anxious - sweaty hands wringing - very well shaved men - skin beautifully hydrated - smelling nice - is that Creed? - sit in a circle around the group leader - the first step to recovery is vocalising - we each have our own narrative - Do you need all that shaving porn? Absolutely goddam right - otherwise I'd look like some f***ing hipster c**t - w***kers - with their man bags and bikes that don't have gears. Shoes without socks? F**k that. Let us stand up for our dens! More product than we will need for a lifetime - bang on. I'm not going to live long enough to use up all of my stuff - but - I will never run out of Super Iridium blades - or several other types for that matter. I'd like to start a new movement - den pride - we could have a parade each year? ha ha ha - I.Hi my name is Tony and I have a problem!
