  • Brush: Stirling Soap Co. 24mm Synthetic
  • Razor: Gillette Atra - Handle
  • Blade: Personna Twin Pivot Plus (Atra) Cart (9)
  • Lather: Spearhead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Leather - Soap
  • Post Shave: Brut - Brut - Splash On
  • Post Shave: Goodfellow & Co. - Kelp & Sea Mineral - Lotion

Last time I used this blade (cart) I thought maybe it was time to replace it, but this shave felt great. Go figure! The lather was great, so maybe that had something to do with it.

Spearhead base is fantastic and will be missed.

I tried using the new Wet Shaving Database SOTD generator because it's really really nice, but I miss a couple features from my clunky SDS page -- namely tracking blade count and automatic posting to PieFed.

Those 2-blade Personna cartridges are, if cartridges need to be used, the best available option IMHO together with single-blade disposable BIC razors.

That SOTD generator looks really cool, but if you miss some features from your database maybe you could create your own SOTD post generator? Granted, I don't know how much work this would involve. A lot of effort, I imagine. But I would definitely give it a try too if you ever decide to do so and need testers ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

I do have a SOTD generator that is hooked up to the Shaving Data System. It's quite functional, but the one ShavingInCT made is much better looking and less "weird".

I'm sure I could get his source code and try to add the features that I want. A project for another day!

Best of luck with it & let us know when it's done ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป
