    My wife now tells me the Sharp Dressed Man soap smells lovely - at the beginning she was neutral about it. This soap is a top favorite of mine in every way - scent, lather, and skincare. The Bull Dog moisturizer is very soothing as well as protective for a freshly-shaved face. This 1950's Super Speed is one of my best shaving friends because I always get terrific BBS shaves from it. The Plissoft synthetic can whip up a good lather from any soap even if it's sub-par so imagine what it could do with a good one like Sharp Dressed Man!

    Enjoy your day!

    Proraso Pre Shave
    Musgo Real
    Jayaruh #266
    Supply Provision
    Personna Injector
    CWR
    Thayer's Lemon WH
    Vegetal

    I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Musgo Real Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #266 synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Supply Provision Injector Razor using a Personna Injector blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Vegetal AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Superb Spicy
    Ginger's Garden did a great job with this scent. The lather is slick and easy to build. The aftershave is aloe and glycerin heavy, so very little goes a long way.

    Nice Pic Perry! I like your close up photos - I never can get that type of photo to look good - also like the grainy vintage look, That Schick 66 could easily be a daily driver - I got one NOS last year - still mint and i take good care of it - i even wrap the razor in tissue paper when i am done using it - haha - its like gold to me

    Thanks, Jamie! Seems to me the only way I can get any type of decent photo is to be up close. My photo skills are quite limited. You're right about the Schick 66 - awesome razor!

    The textured head eliminates the Glare ! I also have a shick type E with a gold textured head and the bakelite handle has some nice black lines with the caramel - also a gorgous work of art
