    Prep: Cold water and Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap
    Blade: Schick Proline
    Razor: Schick G4 '66' injector
    Brush: Zenith B02 boar
    Lather: Jeeves of Hudson Street Bay Rum
    Post: Witch hazel, Jeeves of Hudson Street Black Tea aftershave
    WTG, touch up

    Terrific shave here. Superb lather and smooth sailing with the Schick 66. The new-to-me Zenith boar was outstanding. Can't ask for much else.

    Have a great day!

    BBS and very comfortable as well as smelling great. This WSP Formula T Bay Rum sample makes me want to buy a whole puck. The scent and lather are great and the Krampert's Bay Rum was a most delightful finish!

    Have a fabulous day!

    Very satisfying 2 pass, minor touch-up, BBS shave this morning. Really like the scent of the RR Classic soap. Great performer as well offering up rich, slick lather in no time. Topped it off with that most manly of splashes. I suspect I'll be a chick magnet for the duration of the month. This old rooster is feeling smooth, toned and ready to go.

    Soap: RazoRock Classic
    Brush: Semogue 620
    Razor: Fatip Grande
    Blade: Polsilver SI (4)
    Aftershave: Pinaud Special Reserve

    Thanks very much Guy. The knot needs to be set a little deeper.

    Prep: Warm Shower-Stirling Bath Soap-Baker Street
    Soap: Los Angeles Shaving Soap Woody Lavender
    Razor: Gillette Slim
    Blade: Personna Med Prep (Shave #7)
    Brush: Elite Razor/TGN Grade A Silvertip-24mmx50mm

    LASS Woody Lavender today. 20 seconds to load the Elite Razor/TGN Silvertip brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Personna Med Prep still in the Gillette Slim. Excellent smooth, close shave. I finished with Fine Platinum aftershave.

    Gem G-Bar Razor
    Personna Pal Carbon Blade
    Frank Shaving Synthetic Brush
    Derby Shave Soap
    Dickinson's Witch Hazel
    Lucky Tiger Aspen After Shave

    Today I used one of the blades @Linuxguile sent for testing and it was a very nice experience. I had no problem achieving a very smooth and comfortable BBS shave in two passes with some touch up.

    I'm not sure where Jim gets it, but maybe the same as me, just a guess. I get it from Family Dollar and possibly Dollar General carries it also.

    I get mine at Dollar General too. They used to have both the Brisk & Pacific Rush, but I've not seen the Pacific Rush in a while.

    Pacific Rush has been continued. Someone posted an email from Barbasol concerning that a while back. That's sad because Pacific Rush is good stuff.

    I saw on here someplace it was going to be discontinued. If I find some, going to have to stock up on it.

    This is a pretty close replica of the set up my dad used almost every day for more than 20 years.
    He must've had some very good shaves :)
