    Great photos and write up Jared! The JR 400's are so very cool! The WCS looks nice as well..hope you get the feel for it.

    Very nice Neal!

    What a fantastic step back in time! The filter just enhances the "feel" of all the vintage gear! Great job Rick!

    Great week worth of shave setups Chris!

    Another automatic near prefect 3 pass shave this morning. I am really enjoying this Proraso Single Blade shaving cream. While subtle the scent is very nice and the cream has proven to be exceptionally slick. I hope everyone has a great Tuesday.

    Another great shave this morning. Two passes and BBS. This razor has a Personna Twinjector blade, and it definitely gets a close shave. Some Stetson for a little drug store decadence, and I am off to start my day. I hope everyone has a great day!

    A very nice shave, but I did have a reaction to the soap this morning. Low grade burning that lasted about 10-15 minutes.

    You are the second person in this thread with a reaction to the same soap. Reactions like that can ruin an otherwise great shave.

    SOTD December 12, 2017

    Prep: Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap
    Blade: Schick
    Razor: Schick M adjustable injector
    Brush: JR #60 synthetic
    Lather: Scots Pine Sheep
    Post: Witch hazel, Stirling Scots Pine aftershave
    WTG, touch up

    Nice shave this morning. I put a little water on top of the soap and then started loading with the dry synthetic brush. Add more water to the soap and keep loading. This brush needs a small amount of water and this method made terrific lather. Slick, well-hydrated, and plentiful - love Stirling! The Schick adjustable on setting 7 swiped it all away with ease and comfort. Very nice all around.

    Have a great day!

    Another great photo Mark. Let us know what you think of the soap.

    Great photo Perry. Excellent idea on using a dry brush. I might have to give that a try.

    Great photo Brian. I bet you are extremely busy getting ready for the move. Take care.
