    3rd day of the NEW LC focus. Another nice Jeeves lather whipped up by the big boar and had another pleasant and relaxing 3 pass DFS. A bit of touch-up on my neck and jawline lets me know I still need to work on technique a bit with this razor. I saw on the thread where Chris was talking about stretching jawline skin up onto the 'flat' of the lower cheek and I think I'll try to use that advice. Finished off with the Gratiot. It is growing on me, I think.
    Have a great day all!

    Beautiful photo Jason. Another trick I use for my jawline is to open my mouth very wide, which moves the jawline skin up to the flat as well.

    Lather: Soap Commander Courage

    Bowl: Boise Mudworks
    WTG, touch-up

    Really nice shave this morning. All came together quite well. Soap Commander is excellent shaving soap and the Schick I1 mowed right through the whiskers in fine style. Smooth, comfortable, and terrific results.

    Have a great day!

    Thanks for all of the prayers and well wishes, gentlemen. She will see a specialist in the morning and hopefully we can get things headed in the right direction.

    My first Seis De Julio is now in the books.

    To be honest, I am kind of floored at the results. I had two days of growth to work on. It was a bit louder than my other Kamisori type blades, but it was a super easy, drama free shave that rivaled my best results. Alum was virtually silent. I used a Lord stainless steel blade. I think I will use it again tomorrow. I hate to see a blade go to waste.
