    Overall a very good shave this morning. All the hardware and software worked well together which always makes things easier. Three passes and touch ups ended just short of a BBS. However, I did have 3 weepers that were entirely my fault. Moving a little to fast and not paying attention. A splash of Fine Platinum and I am off to fight the morning commute. Atlanta traffic in the rain is just not a easy start to the day. I hope everyone has a great Wednesday.

    SOTD May 23, 2018

    Prep: Cold water and Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap
    Blade: Schick
    Razor: Schick J1 injector
    Brush: Stirling Kong synthetic
    Soap: Jeeves of Hudson Street Bay Rum
    Post: Witch hazel, Epsilon Blue Mediterranean aftershave

    Switched to a Schick after several shaves with the Supply. World of difference. Smooth and comfortable shave today with great results. So easy. The Supply razor is a much different animal. Not untameable but certainly in a different realm than the old Schicks. More exploration and experience is needed.

    There is a ring of death in the Jeeves! Finally! I scraped the edges and pressed it all to the middle, so I likely gave it new life. It's been a tremendous soap.

    Have a great day!

    Great photo, Ken! The downside to having such a long lasting shave is that you have less growth to shave off next time!
    Amazing Photo, Clint! That boar knot hasn't opened up at all has it ?
    Great shot Jim! The amount of blade that shows in the 1914 always makes it look intimidating!
    Fantastic shot Perry! The Jeeves is coming to an end!

    Stirling Glacial Unscented PSB enhanced with RR Don Marco AS

    Today's Mayhem shave features a return of the Heavyweight Champion. Weighing in at 4.5 OZ this beast of a razor requires some negative pressure to keep it riding smooth. Don Marco is one of the best citrus scents I've ever used and the super lanolin and shea butter formula really makes it a contender against the high dollar premium artisans. Today I put a dollop of Stirling Glacial PSB in my palm followed by a few drops of Don Marco AS, rubbed them together in my palms and applied to my face. The result was a fantastically frozen bright citrusy smelling face! Have a great day my friends!

    It's always there next morning albeit I've had odd Fatip days where there's little to do. I just got curious about it so figured I'd try them one by one ...any excuse really :)

    Had a traditional 3 pass shave this morning. The Coniferous produced a great lather and ended up with one tiny weeper that didn’t last. Used Alum this morning to judge technique a bit with the Injectomatic and it did sing quite a bit on my neck. Finished with the Spice, which is always a good thing.
    Have a great day, all!
