    RyX DoH!

    Ophiologist? What do keep? We have lots of interesting free range specimens under foot here. I stepped on a 3 foot long speckled king while trimming low growth around a willow tree this week. Didn't know it wasn't dangerous (nonpoisonous constrictor) until after I'd whacked it with the limb loppers.

    A decent shave, but this blade is done. It did it's job well for two full weeks, which isn't too bad. I also saw something odd when I finished:

    The cream is done as well. It was great and I'll add some more in the future. I hope everyone has a great day!

    Great picture Jim. 14 shaves on the blade was a very good run. Congrats on completing the cream.

    Another excellent 3 and 1/4 pass shave this morning. This pairing of software and hardware work very well together. Since the doctor changed up my meds on Monday afternoon, I have been doing much better. I think we might have found the ticket. A splash of F&C Capri and I am ready for the day. I hope everyone has a great Thursday.

    Aside from getting my muscle memory back with the Micromatic razors, I am also getting used to the thicker, stiffer SE blades.

    Another great shave and I am calling this 30 day participation a success.

    Thank you, Clint! I'll definitely take 14 shaves. This is only the second time in have finished a cream or soap. It feels good.
    Beautiful picture! I am glad the new meds are working better for you.

    WTG, touch up

    Enjoyable shave this morning. The Mike's soap lathers up easily. It has the great properties you want in a soap - slick, protective, and good post-shave. A nice finish with witch hazel and Barbasol Pacific Rush and it's on to tackle the day.

    Have a great one!

    It is good to hear that you are getting some relief.

    What did you use for a background on that shot?
