    Hi all, here's my SOTD for Today-

    These Ambassador razors are great. This razor is my first Stainless Steel modern razor. If they all are as inspiring as this one, I can see why people love Stainless Steel razors so much. This razor has the potential to be a one pass wonder. I'm glad I got one. Have a good day everybody!

    I'll bet that brush whipped a ton of lather Jamie.

    What an awesome shave this was and it froze the daylights out of me. The Glacial Eskimo Tuxedo soap had my eyes tearing and nose running but it felt wonderful. This Diana balm from Austria also packs a mean menthol punch and it's very moisturizing. I don't think the Rubby Dubby Doo needs any description. Smooth as silk again!

    Have a great day!

    Prep: Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap
    Blade: GEM stainless
    Razor: GEM G-Bar
    Brush: JR #60 synthetic
    Soap: Jeeves of Hudson Street Bay Rum
    Post: Witch hazel, Jeeves of Hudson Street Black Tea aftershave
    WTG, touch up

    Ended up with nice results but I had to use three blades to find one that was smooth. Certainly odd!

    Have a great day!

    Shaving Balm: Stirling Island Man
    I'm trying to get use to razor. It's a bit more aggressive than I'm accustom to.
    Preformed two passes: with and against the grain.
    Results: DFS with only a couple weepers and a little irritation on my lower neck. Remedied with styptic pencil and shaving balm.
