    Wonderful photo. The razor looks great. The handle is massive.

    I missed the reference there Chris. I'm assuming you are using Peaches' Egyptian math?

    As for this morning's shave, I was wrapping up the review on Soapy Science (which will be posted in my soap review thread), but getting tired of using the same two brushes, the same two bowls, the same razor and setting, etc. for head to head shaves. And there it was. The lather catcher was sitting there with only one shave under its belt. Since the first shave gave me more blade feel than I'd like, I figured it'd be a good test for Jeeves vs. Soapy Science. What a great shave! I slowed down, and stopped thinking about blade angle and/or the fact that it was a different razor, and I just shaved. Great feel, great results. I'm gonna need to spend some more time on the SEs, as my second shave eclipsed my first in terms of enjoyment.

    Go out and beat Thursday into submission!

    Nice shave report Randy!
    I enjoy the Soapy Science myself. I ordered some Jeeves last Wednesday, not sure what's going on with that order.

    Went back to the NEW this morning. Finished off the Baker St. @Drygulch, can you add me to the soap RIP list? I will definitely think about replacing this scent. Had a nice 3 pass shave and am smooth heading out to face the world.
    Have a great day all!

    Why did you give up on the dreads when you were so far along? At least spin some Peter Tosh today.

    Just like driving a big ole SUV or Truck. There's a bit of luxury in overkill!
    Great photo, Jason! Way to stick with your pain stick MAYhem plans!
    And down another rabbit hole he goes!
    Excellent shot of the 195 Jim!
    Glad to hear your friend's recovery is coming along!
    Its so frustrating when the soap starts regenerating.
    Fantastic looking shave, Keith!
    I think I really need to invest in some M-Bomb!
    The G5 looks fantastic Perry! How much of that Jeeves do you have left ?
    Is that a gold finish ? Looks like a WCS vintage collection razor.
    Beautiful shot, Clint!
    Sounds like a great shave with the LC, Randy!

    Awesome set up, Keith. I love your pics in front of the rainy window as well.
    Sounds like a great start to the day, Perry. Cool pic as well.
    No idea on the razor, sorry. The head, however, does look a great deal like the common EJ head.
    Wow, that is a calendar shot for sure, Clint.

    Thanks, Andrew! I need to weigh the mug again. The other day I was down to 416 grams, which would mean about 30 grams of soap remaining. Still a little ways to go. Thank goodness it's amazing soap.

    Thank you, Jason!
