Good job, once you learn to tame an aggressive razor you can shave with anything! Sent from my Galaxy S6 using Tapatalk
March 18 SOTD: Stirling Synthetic Brush Stubble Trubble SS Gem Junior Bar Stirling Unscented PSB Avon Blue Blazer AS It was a nice Saturday morning shave with the Stubble Trubble and Gem Junior Bar. My son joined me for the shave, so it was that much better. I got a DFS on two passes requiring no clean up. My son did have to bring up that he was smoother than I was, and this time I couldn't argu. We each topped it with a little Avon Blue Btopped and then ran off to show mom how good we smelled. I hope everyone has a great day!
Awesome razor and story, Jim. I can't wait to have those kinds of mornings with my son! Sent from my Galaxy S6 using Tapatalk
Thank you, Andrew. He used to shave with me every weekend, now it is quite a bit more sporadic. It is amazing at how quickly kids change. Enjoy every moment with your boy, as it is a new experience each and every day.

-Torrey 5/8 -Razorock 400 HMW -Stirling Ben Franklin Today was my first shave using this nice old Torrey that was gifted to me by @Bama Samurai, which was cool. Thanks, Chris! It was also a good Shave School day for me because it was the first shave I ever had using a razor I had honed up from setting the bevel. It was sharp enough to get the job done, but wasn't the closest shave I ever had, nor the most comfortable, and needs some more work before I use it again. It did manage all three passes, I will get after it a bit this evening, and use it again tomorrow. All in all though, I am pretty stoked, and definitely that much closer to fully crossing over. Back this evening with a couple days of brush scorecards.
Nice shot Doug, I'm seriously considering getting a Simpson's synthetic. Sent from my Galaxy S6 using Tapatalk
I will offer Thirds. In the US, Straight Razor Design had the best price for the Ivory. If you are in no rush follow Simpsons on Twitter or Instagram and wait for a LE Synthetic to become available.
