    Prep: Cold water and Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap
    Blade: Personna
    Razor: Personna injector
    Brush: JR #41 black badger
    Lather: Jeeves of Hudson Street Turkish Bath
    Post: Witch hazel, TSD Iced Barber Shoppe aftershave
    WTG, touch up

    Easy shave with the Personna injector and Jeeves Turkish Bath. Superb lather whipped up by the JR brush. Just a first rate shave all around. It sometimes may seem like drudgery to finish off a soap, but when you have the high quality of a product like Jeeves it isn't so bad. I'm enjoying these shaves.

    Have a great day!

    In that case I think I’ll take a nap until my perceived reality melts.

    I'm about to "finish off" two soaps-I find the message they send is "You ain't done with me yet".

    Nice review, Rick. I like your photo set-up. It makes the red tip of your razor stand out. The razor looks in great shape.

    Lavender is a great scent! How is the B & M soap?

    Sorry about the rough shave, Neal. Good reminder for us all.

    Thanks, Neal. I have many more to choose from so you may see others.

    Thanks, Jim.

    Another great photo!

    I would really like temps in the 70’s right now! Feeling envious now.

    Mark, you have another terrific photo!

    Wonderful set-up, Perry!

    Great photo!

    Thanks, Andrew.

    Thank you Andrew.

    Thank you Dan. We always get one last cold spell just in time to kill all the flowers that bloomed. Even then I would rather it be warm than cold.

    I'm with you on the TOBS. Easy peasy lather with great scents. (With you on the B&M too, although haven't used the lavendar/cedar one.)

    2nd day with the E3. Whipped up a really nice lather, and had 3 rather rushed passes. Not my best, but still a smooth, functional shave. Finished with the Jeeves AS, which is quickly reaching Fave status.
    Have a great day all!

    Oops. I meant January 31 to March 1. I also stand corrected. Ok, we can both sit down now.

    Great lineup and photo Mark.

    The Persona is such a cool looking razor. Very futuristic for its time.


    Wonderful photo. It gives off a warm glow.

    Thank you, Dan!

    I see that Jeeves Tobacco Bay Leaf! Great stuff. Nice shave!

    Thank you, Clint. It works well. I think the Supply folks took a good look at the Personna when designing their injector.
