Not the greatest shave today, i have never had a blade drop off as quickly as it did today.
A great face lather from the little X1 Commodore and Signature soap, for the size of the brush it easily holds enough for 3 passes.
The ECO razor and Permasharp are normally a very good pairing and i can normally get at least 2 shaves per blade, today was the first time i have had one go from sharp to pulling in a couple of strokes, the WTG pass was super smooth, the blade went off mid XTG pass, i should have stopped and swapped either blade or razor, i did not and was rewarded with some irritation and a fair bit sting from the splash.
Everything has calmed down now and you live and learn.
"Every days a school day" as they say, whoever "they" are.
Anyway,
Stay safe and enjoy your day All

Cold Water Rinse
Tabac Shave Soap
Jayaruh #414 Silvertip Badger
GEM Damaskeene
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Tabac AS
The Tabac Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #414 Silvertip Badger. Two passes and touch ups with the GEM Damaskeene with a Personna GEM SS PTFE gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Minor Redemption! I was all set to go another day with the unmentionables, as my skin was still not fully recovered. But, I decided to get on the horse and despite having an unmentionable on standby I completed two and a half passes solely with an SE blade. I REALLY focused on minimal pressure, as reminded by GAW9576 and keeping the proper angle as noted by Wchnu. Not sure why, but I have a certain comfort level with this razor thus far. Today was a confidence builder!
AWESOME Bryan, Giddy-up !!!

Since this is my first Gem SS PFTE blade (thanks again Dave) and not having any idea how many shaves I can expect to get, I'm going back to the Damaskeene for a few days. So far, this has been the smoothest, easiest shave...until it bites me down the road!
The standard two and a half passes with no problems. I found myself chasing/over-shaving a bit at the end and might have earned some minor irritation. The Proraso Green in the tub was one of my first soaps. While out shopping yesterday I found a tube of the Green cream at Marshall's for $4.99. It looks like this is the older color tube, but it face-lathered up just fine.
