    Looks like you are on the SE train. Careful or they will have your DE razors in the back seat.

    Very cool photo Mark. The razor is stunning. Looking at the bottom of the razor. did you have James make each side with a different blade gap and your initials?

    I used the soap once last week. The "Jeff's Soap" scent was different than I expected in a good way. I found it a very light pleasant take on a modern barbershop type scent. The performance was fantastic. All of which are a bonus to the helping with a good cause. I will be using mine all next week.

    @RyX - Will you be impacted by Hurricane Harvey as far as huge rain amounts?

    It is a 'cheering' towel from Medieval Times in Anaheim. It is a nice size for shaving.

    Great write up! However, if you quote too much Shakespeare, I may have to evaluate my qualifications to be known this thread!

    Cool. My first thought was a regimental towel or family crest.

    Nothing that important. Took the family to Medieval Times when we went to Disneyland in the spring.

    I had planned to have another shave today with the Dorco STD-301 but, this morning, I just wasn't feeling it. After 3 decent shaves, I've gotten my $0.20 worth and into the bin it went.

    The shave with the J1 was comfortable and predictable, not a BBS but nice and issue-free.

    Great photo, Clint. I tried your 1/4 pass on my lower right neck this morning, but it turned into a full extra pass on my neck... I've got more work to do!

    RyX DoH!

    My home was built in 1942. Never has flooded inside the house. The yard has gotten deep but no flood water has come inside in all those years. Couple weeks ago I installed a new carburetor on my fathers generator. If he looses electric power he can keep his freezers going until he runs out of gasoline.
    We are on the storm surge side of the predicted landfall, but 60 miles from the coast and 15 feet above sea level.
