It's great to be back! This morning I finally had the opportunity to put my new Colonial General V2 to the test. I really enjoy using AC razors. I've owned three prior to the arrival of this razor - Classic Shaving's Oren, a RR Hawk, and a Blackland Vector.
The Oren was just too unacceptably bulky and unwieldy. I sold it. The Hawk delivers an shave, but my Vector with a Schick Proline blade is a great shaver, and, after the arrival of my new General, now have another great SE razor available. After reading some posts on a variety of dedicated shave forums, I loaded it up with a Feather Super and had at it.
I hadn't shaved for a week, but began with a cold water rinse followed by a good thick application of my favorite soap, MWF. The first WTG pass took things right down to the skin line. So much so that the the second ATG pass consisted of nothing more than some selective buffing resulting in an incredibly close BBS that checked all the boxes. I feel smoooth, clean and refreshed.
RAZOR: Colonial General V2.
BLADE: Feather Super AC
PREP: Cold water rinse
BRUSH: MrEE Hybrid Badger Boar 007
SOAP: Mitchell's Wool Fat
POST-SHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by Thayers Lavender WH and finished with A&E Post-Shave Serum
