    Terrific looking shave, Rick!
    The Delta Echo finish definitely makes for some decadence, not that a New LC needs much help.
    I admit, shoveling snow is one reason I am glad I live in SE Texas, now. :) You guys with the Shavettes are making me want to pick up one or two. Great Veg shave, Chris!
    Those are two fantastic set ups, Keith!
    Nice picture, John!
    Excellent picture, Clint!
    Beautiful picture, Mark!

    I was delighted to use the Gillette Gel Blue Tube today-I've always liked it a lot. Goes on a bit cool at first, but settles down eventually. It's a great cold-weather "go-to".

    I’ve actually never tried a Latha soap, John. I do have one incoming from a trade, but it’ll be my first.
    The Reserve base is as good as it gets, and the Glissant isn’t far behind. The Reserve takes a tonne of water and you can really have it be any style you like. The Cool and Spice scents are just fantastic. In the Glissant base, I love the Seville and would definitely consider a full tub of Lavanille as well. Cheshire and Cologne Russe are well behind those two for me.
    I believe Randy @BaylorGator has done excellent write ups on B&Ms performance as well.

    Latha is a good soap, and to me, comparable with most good artisan soaps. The main difference to me is Latha scents are one note, and not complex like those in the glissant line. Tiaga and Oceana are my two favorites in that line. I don’t think B&M makes a bad soap.
