    Very happy with the Lab Blue loaded into the Wilkinson Sticky and very glad to get back to the Plisson brush. Lots of rich, creamy lather.

    Thursday's "Anything But Gillette" DE Shave
    [​IMG]

    Dove Men Face Wash
    Col. Conk Amber Shave Soap
    Jayaruh TSD Challenge Boar
    PA Bakelite Slant
    Asco Super Stainless
    CWR, Asma Alum Block
    Thayer's Lemon WH
    Florida Water

    The Col. Conk Amber Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh TSD Challenge Boar brush. I did two passes the PA Bakelite Slant razor and Asco Super Stainless blade, and I ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Florida Water. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Trying to be sneaky that is not a DE. Woo!

    I have been doing the SE thing a few days. I will get back here soon though. I think a murkur progress or star m100 is up next.

    Cool theme! I will try and throw in a Fatip Piccolo toward the end of the month for you. I am doing Arko April again. Have fun with the SRs! So happy to hear you've done it and had some success!

    I have been listing my shaves on the 30DC thread, but so far, since joining in this valiant quest, I have shaved with two old German 4 pc travel razors, my Fatip Grande, and for the last couple shaves my Schick Krona. On the 30 Day thread, my focus this month is on trying the various shave creams I have accumulated. I expect I will stick with using the Krona for most of the rest of the month to keep the razor and blade consistent while rotating the creams.

    Almost 10 years in Casino Surveillance. I have looked at a lot of pictures. It is a beautiful razor none the less.

    Yeah, Chris. It was almost three years ago when I was one of the winners in your straight razor pif. I gave it a try back then, but I just could not get the hand of it. I piffed it to a good home I hope. I wish I had it now. It was a fine looking razor. I now have 3 straights. I am 3/7 of the way to a seven day set. I will stop there I think...
    I think. Thanks for your support.

    Good eye, Fuzzy. We can let that one slide. He got half of it right. It is no Gillette.

    It is not a DE, but I wanted to show off my new to me Wade & Butcher straight. I got it from @mrchick. It was a highly successful shave.

    The Jeeves of Hudson Street Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #157 synthetic brush. I did two passes the Wade & Butcher Spanish Tip, I ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Pinaud Vinilla. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
