    The Damaskeene looks great, Andrew. Give it a few shaves. I find it to be my favorite SE.

    Do think the brush is causing you irritation? Like Perry, if I had to wait for cooler, less humid days to use a soap and brush, there would be about two months a year I could use one. Is it possible you are having a reaction to something in the soap?

    I'm not sure-it was fine when I began using it, which was before the heat consistency began.

    I'll be ready. It'll be my first COLD soap, but I've had a little practice getting used to that kind of thing, by use of my Gillette Foamy Menthol cream.

    Great looking setup Andrew. You'll get the hang of the Damaskeene. It might have been the blade and not the angle. I find the first shave on some Gem blades to be very harsh.

    RyX DoH!

    I read you've got the cool soap ordered. If that AS isn't cool enough, try Osage Rub. Jeff @Yehuda D approves ;). It can be applied, then another AS or cologne splashed over it.

    As to your rambling, this Interwebs thing is made up out of electrons. They are recyclable. The whole point of The 30 Day thread is working out issues.

    yes it certainly is, and by the way, I'm closing in on a final decision to move to Colorado. By "closing in", I just mean, I'm still in early stages but your state looks best.

    Osage may be next for this writer. But let's see about Wintergreen for now.

    Osage, or as I call it - the Rubby Dubby Doo is strong menthol as well. Very strong menthol but the Glacial Wintergreen witch hazel makes it feel tame!
