    Yeah, good layout, I`ve been thinking hard about an adjustable injector. Can`t make up my mind which one, a little feedback wouldn`t hurt. Thanks. Merry Christmas, God Speed.

    Ahhh....Nice warm shave when it's 6° out! I know some of you have it colder, and you can keep it! Followed up with a new to me Avon Mesmerize Black aftershave lotion. Not greasy and silky smooth skin feel. If you haven't tried the Avon AS lotions, I encourage you to tell your wife to order something so you can sneak in something for yourself.

    SOTD: 12/18/2016 - "Never Gets Old"

    Pre: Hot shower
    Soap: Soap Commander "Purpose"
    Brush: Bob Farvour 2-Band Buffalo Horn Badger
    Razor: Hone Type 15a w/ Personna Lab Blue (3)
    Post: Soap Commander "Purpose" Aftershave Balm & Captain's Choice "Bay Rum" splash

    After a couple days of not shaving, this felt magical. The scent combo never gets old and I'm grateful to have such awesome products in my den.

    Be smooth and shave it up, everyone!

    Had I known that I would have done my Russian Leather combo, but it's warm today-I wouldn't have been comfortable.

    Loading the O-Clone with vintage twins was a struggle (blade loading is the weakness of the O-C) but once set an unexpectedly sublime shave resulted. Actually the first completely irritation free BDBS full beard and head shave in a while (after using mostly DE and AC blades). AOS tallow Sandalwood and the MFF pre shave didn't hurt. Pure Argan after the mango flavored Witch Hazel to top off a great Sunday shave.

    -Gillette Army Tech (1943)
    -Personna Lab Blue Blade
    -Frank Shaving Boar Brush
    -Lemon Sugar & Frankincense
    & Myrrh Soap by Love My Skin
    -Dickinson's Witch Hazel
    -Pinaud Clubman After Shave

    A very nice and smooth shave with the Army Tech. Even though it is a mild and lightweight razor, with the Lab Blue it shaved like a medium aggressive razor which gave me a very nice three pass BBS shave.

    Dec 18: Old standby soap - Cella. Merkur 34c, Omega Hi-Brush synthetic, and a bit of English Leather. Blade tested to day is an interesting one - Asco (orange). Made by Lord in Egypt. I liked the Lord Platinum which I tested a couple months ago. Lord also makes the Shark series of blades - they were ok but nothing that I would order in bulk. This Asco blade is their Super Stainless, no coating as far as I can tell. Very sharp - close shave. Not as smooth as many other blades but a very good result. I bought two blades from Try A Blade. Problem is that there does not seem to be anywhere you can buy these in bulk. There is also the Asco "red" which is available but not the "orange". All in all a very good shave today - now for a day of football.
