    May 4 SOTD:

    Razor: Razorock Hawk V2
    Blade: Feather AC Professional Super
    Brush: Simpsons CH-2
    Lather: Jeeves of Hudson St Bay Rum
    Aftershave: Boots Freshwood
    Additional Care:
    Stirling Unscented PSB

    I got busy yesterday and never got around to posting my shave, which was a nice, hotel shave. This morning I got the Hawk out and was rewarded with a DFS. @Drygulch, the Jeeves sample you sent is done. I am not sure if it was 1 oz or not, but I got over a months worth of shaves out of it. Definitely a nice soap, and I will add some to my deb in the future. I hope everyone has a great day!

    Because of the Shaveys I’ve found myself being a man of too many words myself lately too. As such, I’ll just say Neal’s report can substitute for mine using the following gear...

    Thäter Boar
    Reef Point Tranquility
    Fine Lavender

    A great shave today to start the day. Reef Point Tranquility has the same scent profile of peppermint and lavender as the Cambridge & Oxford. However the scent strength of Tranquility is much stronger. The Thäter boar easily loaded whipped the Tranquility into a rich slick lather. Two passes and touch ups along my jawline and neck just missed the baby. A splash of Fine Lavender and I am ready for the day. After a short morning at the office, my wife and I will be going to Tuscaloosa for Asha's graduation first thing tomorrow. I hope everyone has a great Friday.

    The “sti-vette” will always garner a nomination from the Academy. It’s a classic! And with that, Fuzzy is on the board...

    Prep: Cold water and Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap
    Blade: Schick
    Razor: Schick G5 injector
    Brush: Omega 10049 boar
    Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat
    Post: Witch hazel, Fine American Blend aftershave

    Smooth, easy, efficient shave this morning. Tremendous lather whipped up by the Omega boar and smooth swiping away of the whiskers by the G5. Terrific all around.

    We made to Friday! Thank goodness as this has been a busy week for me. I hope you all have a great day!

    Great picture and setup, Clint. Congratulations on Asha's graduation! I know you're proud. Will she be home this summer before heading to Arizona? Just wondered if you'd have a few weeks with both girls at home.

    This is amazing. If it had been filmed in a state park restroom then we'd be talking about all Shaveys done and spoken for.

    I realize I'm stealing a line from Barry Manilow, but..looks like we made it.

    Those were all around two and a half ounces. I added it to the list. You are in the lead with seven soaps finished, but Clint and Keith both have five soaps, so aren't far behind.

    Thank you Jim and Perry. We are both very proud of Asha's hard work. She is graduating with a 4.0 GPA that she has worked very hard to achieve and maintain. She will be home for the summer before moving to Tempe on August 1st.

    Great picture Perry. The G5 is such a cool looking razor. Love the color of the handle.

    Congrats for Asha, @clint64! About those photos of ASU that you showed, I'd have a tough time studying with a background like THAT.
