    Great looking lineup and photo Jason. Not sure I know a lot about the Lux Razor which provides a great excuse to research something.

    I have not used the 34C in a very long time. Based on my notes, I have only used the razor 15 times since 1/1/15. So it seemed like the perfect time to get reacquainted with the razor that kicked everything off. The DK7 loaded and lathered the Rossa easily. This brush has plenty of backbone and scrub while releasing the lather easily. Three passes and touch ups along my jawline and neck ended with a very close shave. Now that I have become accustomed to using more aggressive razors, the 34C seems to be super mild and toy like in comparison. I hope everyone has a great Wednesday.

    Thank you, gentlemen! We had planned to go to a really nice dinner but opted instead for a Mexican restaurant with beer and margaritas. Fun night!

    OK, I'm caught up again. @PLAla, happy anniversary. @Bama Samurai, hope you have a good trip. @Douglas Carey, you are hitting the outdoor shots out of the park. @Boojum1, @clint64, @wristwatchb, also great pictures. There should be a calendar or something. @mrchick, you have a very cute grandson. I'm glad he is in the picture to balance you out. Is it Friday? It feels like Friday. If it was Friday, @Linuxguile would have a cute picture of our mascot up by now.

    Thank you, Clint! This is definitely one of "List" razors. I wish I could have taken it for a full two pass spin on my maiden voyage with it, but it was still fun.

    Thank you Jim. It is hard to take a bad picture with Nuàvia bowls in the frame.

    How does the PAA formula compare to the Crown King one? I have Sun Down by Crown King, and its a great soap to use. I was curious on this Bay Rum, but didn't know what to expect. What notes are you getting out of it? BTW, the pictures on these, especially with the graphics on the labels and the filters, look awesome.
