    Today's shave
    Hot water wash with a washcloth
    FS silvertip
    Bombed Soap Commander Respect
    Merkur Progress (3.5)
    Voskhod (3)
    Iced L&M Florida Water (atomized)
    Today's shave was terrific. Great lather from the FS. I hadn't used the progress since the variant arrived. I wanted to avoid a comparison of the two til I had some experience with the latter. But I did notice the lack of knurling on the progress. The shave was terrific, maybe familiarity with the progress, but it seemed so effortless. Finished the show with alum and Florida Water.
    Manic may of deemed the variant the razor to be pried from his cold dead fingers. I'm not claiming that yet, the progress still performs so well for me.
    Hope y'all did as well, or better. 20170426_092016_resized.jpg

    Schick M1 Adjustable razor
    Personna blade
    WD Synthetic brush
    Williams SS (vintage)
    Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
    Pinaud Clubman A/S

    Opened up the M1 a little bit more today and was rewarded with a fine shave. Think I might be getting the hang of this razor. Love vintage Williams! And Clubman seemed right to finish with since I don't care for Aqua Velva. Now go enjoy your day folks
