    Sounds like that razor and soap might be good candidates for a PIF if you ever decide to do one...

    A really nice shave doesn't need to be fancy.

    I was too lazy to pack up a different shave for today, so a repeat of Monday's shave and picture. Two passes and DFS. I am nice and smooth. I hope everyone has a great day!

    Wonderful picture Jim. That is really a great lineup for the gym.

    This week is going by so fast. I have a stack full of property taxes to finish up today so I deserved a good shave to start the day. This lineup delivered just that with ease. Three passes and touch ups ended with a near perfect shave. A splash of Fine Lavender and I think I am ready for the day. I hope everyone has a great Wednesday.

    Thank you, Clint! It doesn't work pretty well for a quick shave with shaky arms.

    The Shavette challenge is coming to an end and I feel like I've more or less got the hang of it. Today is my second BBS shave using the shavette so I'm happy about that. The chin is still a hit or miss zone for me though.

    Three days off and too many pages to catch up on. I hope I didn't miss anything important.
    Fantastic photo, Jim!
    Great looking setup, Clint! How do you like the Vie Long knot?

    Had a pretty nice shave today with my Wet Shaving Products "lineup". I did a "first"for me-going across-the-grain on my neck. Actually felt an improvement "down there", as opposed to the "South-to-North" I had been doing. Will try again tomorrow.

    Thank you Jim. Doc talked Vie Long into making a fan knot for this brush. It is the only fan knot that they had made at the time. You can tell it was hand tied. The knot is very dense with tips that are pretty soft. It still has a lot of backbone and with the fan gives a very full face feel. I just wish the handle was a little larger in diameter.

    Very nice midweek shave this morning. The RR66 was a slick as ever and G3/Proline combo had no problem delivering the BBS. Finished off with the Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill for my daily dose of menthol. Have a great day my friends!

    Not only will it take close to an eternity to finish my Tabac, but I also bought an extra puck of MWF when I got the one in the ceramic dish. It may never be needed in my lifetime.

    The G3 is just such a great looking razor. Wonderful photo as well Andrew.
