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.

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.
