"One Blade/OneRazor/One Soap in February" Challenge

[borked]

And 100 years more

NO hones/strops, as sharpening an edge is the same as replacing it!

What if, you stored your blade in your pocket, and while taking it in and out your pocket it slightly rubbed your belt and some paste?
If I had a rolls up to snuff then I would be in, otherwise nah, it's for people that have patchy fluff for facial hair, not those that can have thick wiry beards after a week

Great Poster, @Maxie!

Thanks

I wanted to do something retro like the posters you'd see at a festival or a fair from the 50/70s. Maybe next time I'll record a radio like singing commercial loll

I’m thinking I might go super boring and do a derby, in a tech with MWF.
Or something to that effect

Just wanted to let you know that you don't have a monopoly on craziness.

@Maxime D. Nice work on the poster and enthusiasm. However as I might be enlightened by the exercise which is a good thing and may learn something. Even considered using my never opened SEs but at present just don't have the patience for it.
Good luck to you all

Yeh never gonna happen with my straights lol

 

[Maxime D.]

Lady Luck has spoken, I will use my Schick Krona with Schick Krona-Chrome 1967 and LaToja. Bought these blades 5 years ago and never tried them heh

I'm just coming to the end of one month of:

• Gillette Slim
• Some vintage Gillette or other blade
• Proraso green
• Omega brush

Seems a shame to start on a new blade when the current one still has so much life left in it!

Nice idea and great poster @Maxime D.

 

[Razor Burn]

Guess I'm in too which is a shame as I have the new Timeless Bronze OC head on it's way but testing can wait till March Gonna use my trusty Rockwell 6S (R4), RR 400 brush, RR xXx soap and the Derby blade. Only concern is the blade as I've never tried it and my beard is very coarse so expecting a massacre BRING IT ON!

 

[Nightguard]

Definitely in for this. Soap will be MDC Vetiver, blade vintage UK Personna, razor will be a Slim Twist and brushes will alternate between my M7 and Vulfix 403.

It seems that a SE is the way to go for longevity of the blade. I own a number of SE's but my one and only foray into the SE world was a complete disaster. Cut myself up pretty bad and haven't taken the return to them seriously till something like this comes along. I had three razors in mind but have settled on my favourite, the Ikon B1 slant. It might not be my favourite after one month with a blunt blade though. For a blade I'm in with a Polsilver. P&B's Oberon shaving soap and the Mondial Silver tip brush. I will remain in my normal procedure of a shave every second day.

Good luck to all participants and look forward to reports throughout February.
