    Nice setup. I really like Ogallala. How is the Limes and Peppercorns?

    Let's focus on the fundamentals.

    Kids. .. This how you rock. And let's stop for a second and think about one of ours...because he rocks harder than the video you may be about to click.

    @Douglas Carey - you're a brave man. I will be thinking of you. You'll get it done. It's what Marines do. Hope you feel like dancing a celebratory jig soon!

    SOTD February 26, 2018

    Prep: Cold water and Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap
    Blade: Personna
    Razor: Schick E2 injector
    Brush: JR #60 synthetic
    Lather: Jeeves of Hudson Street Turkish Bath
    Post: Witch hazel, Skin Bracer aftershave
    WTG, touch up

    Back to the Turkish Bath after not shaving yesterday. Two days of growth was mowed down with ease by the E2 injector. You have to be careful with this one and not let it nick you. Light pressure and all the other technique tips need to come into play. Outstanding lather from the Jeeves soap and all around nice shave for Monday morning.

    Enjoy your day!

    A great, quick shave this morning. Two passes and DFS. My shave was well under 5 minutes from start to finish, as I was running late. Even if rushed, a good shave gets me started the right way. I hope everyone has a great day!

    Not having shaved since Thursday, I had a few days growth this morning. Unfortunately, I woke late and had to rush a bit. Gave myself a weeper on the chin and nailed a previously unknown pimple on the neck. Aside from those two minor issues, it was a nice shave.

    FAVuary continues with Menthol Monday. Sort of- the cream is mentholated, but the AS, despite the name, is not. Got a nice lather again this morning, and took a traditional 3 passer to knock down two days growth. Finished with the Booster. My only complaint with it is that it doesn’t last all that long. Cheap like borscht, though.
    2 days left in FAVuary. I think one will be with a favourite scent and one will be with a favourite stick.
    Have a great day all!

    Thanks, Andrew! I actually started off with a Personna blade, but it felt a little tuggy. Might have run it across the stops when loading. So I swapped out for a Chick which was smoother. That E2 is something to watch!
