    The El Caballero soap continues to impress. Once loaded the soap is very easy to whip into a rich and very slick lather. I do wish that the container was a little larger which make it easier to load the soap. With 7 shaves on the blade, I decided to put in a fresh Gem blade which made the shave easier and closer. I went with my normal 3 pass shaves and touch ups ending just short of a perfect shave. A splash of Captain's Choice Bay Rum and I am ready for the day. I hope everyone has a great Thursday.

    PickledNorthern Fabulous, the unicorn

    The shower actually had hot, so if I was really averse to the cold shave, I was sort of covered. I actually thought about filling the sink with hot, then I remembered where I was, and the things that sink had seen.

    It appears you have at least another month - or more - left of the Arko. Talk about a value soap! Does anyone make a "soap roach clip"? :D

    Prep: Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap
    Blade: Schick
    Razor: Schick J1 injector
    Brush: Surrey badger
    Lather: Jeeves of Hudson Street Bay Rum
    Post: Witch hazel, Pitralon Classic aftershave
    WTG, touch up

    Enjoyable shave this morning. Smooth and comfortable, easy-going and nice results in the end. This soap is the real deal. I took my time loading it and added water both to the knot and to the top of the soap, alternating between those. This Surrey badger that I used is a re-knot by @Jayaruh. It is terrific and is definitely a decadent part of the shave as the face lathering with it feels so nice. Such quality lather from the Jeeves was swiped away with ease by the J1. Very nice all in all.

    I am off to Tuscaloosa today with our top middle school band. They are performing at a festival at the University of Alabama. They applied and were selected and have been working on this program since September. It's going to be a great day. The best part is that I'm not in charge of this trip like most of my school trips. I just get to go along and help out and be a cheerleader. I love that part because these kids will come up to the high school and be my kids in a year or two, so building the relationships with them is key.

    Great pictures and shave gear as usual. The 30DC has stepped it up this month. Thanks so much again to @Drygulch for the Jeeves soaps - great stuff.

    Enjoy your day!
