    Thank you Clint. I have a lot of brushes and this is my favorite handle by far. The shape fits my hand perfectly and looks great.

    Good morning fellas!

    Today’s shave was brought to me by the following:
    Razor: Gillette Super Speed
    Soap: Jeeves of Hudson Street Bay Rum
    Brush: JR216
    Blade: Astra S/P

    Day two using the Jeeves Bay Rum that Adam @Drygulch sent (Thanks again Adam)! The lather was absolutely fantastic & slick. Maybe even better than yesterday. Three nice, fairly quick passes w/ some slight touch up and I was good to go! I could’ve hit the neck area between many chin and Adam’s apple a little bit more to get it super smooth...but, good enough. Normally, if I’m going to get weepers, that’s where they’ll be. For the last handful of days I haven’t been obsessing & over-trying to get nice, smooth shaves - yet I find that I am still getting great results. Actually, I think I’m getting BETTER results. Maybe it’s a case of “less is more”. Whatever it is, I’m happy with it, and hope it continues!

    Have a great Wednesday everyone!

    Great photo and write-up, Bruce! I agree that "less is more" could be applied to many elements of our lives with good success, including shaving. That's a terrific philosophy.

    Thanks Clint! I'm pretty sure it's the last style they put out, and based on its condition, I'd say it was the very end of the run. For $5, I couldn't go wrong!
