    I really enjoy your reviews of the soaps. They are straight forward and informative without being over the top. Thanks for all the time you take with them.

    The three J months. January, June and July. We do Cinco de Julio on July 5th but no monthly theme. January is our anniversary month but no real theme. June is just June.

    Thanks, Clint. I have found other people's gear reviews very helpful so I try to return the favour. Plus I find it helps me pin down what I like or dislike about the different products if I try to write it down briefly.

    sharing knowledge.jpg Someone mentioned issues about "sharing" at b&b. They got banned and canned for reviewing and linking to a product that wasn't a Paid Sponsor.

    I'm struggling to think of any words linked with frugality/budgeting that begin with J. I'm sure that someone will come up with something though!

    Ever Ready 1912 (Made in England) - Day 6
    Blade - GEM Stainless (New blade)
    Brush - Bluebeards Doubloon
    Lather - Proraso White
    Post - Witch Hazel & Arko Natural Cream

    I now see why people say that the blades are a little rough on the first shave. They're wicked sharp! Only got a couple of tiny nicks - nothing that the witch hazel and cold water splash couldn't fix though.
    The shave was OK too... I have real trouble getting the area under my chin and down to my Adam's apple to look clean-shaven without going against the grain. That's my only real area for concern as of now. It's only day 6 on my journey with the 1912 though... A long old road ahead (though not likely as long as the road already travelled by this beautiful razor).
