    Stirling Port Au Prince SS
    30 DC LE Cashmere synth
    Suribachi and cool water
    Schick type E, Chick blade
    Pinaud Lime Sec AS/EDC

    I chose my set-up before catching up on the thread. Seems mutton tallow and Father's Day go together? This sample of P-a-P has convinced me I need a full puck, and I've yet to try Electric Sheep. If anyone has tried both a comparison would be appreciated. Next Schick in the den only has one patent number, so it's an E type. More aggressive as the letters regress, I gave it the light pressure but shaved in my usual style. Three passes & a full round of clean up rewarded an acceptable DFS but for those lower jawline / neck trouble zones. A splash of the Pinaud keeps the citrus going.
    Good Shaves Y'all!

    continuing on with my different razor per shave.the only constant is the gillette nacet blade. had an all old spice shave today for fathers day. first time use of a nacet in my #15 brit aristocrat.heavy razor/ nacet blade/soap commander endurance soap. whiskers didn t stand a chance. i use this razor for special occasions only. wife got me a razorock 400 aluminum for fathers day, got it a little early. great brush,nice weight,
    the result was a fantastic, smooth dfs shave with no issues.this razor was my unicorn.didn t think i would ever get one as they are quite rare and quite pricey. this one is in near perfect shape. next shave will be a superspeed, tech.new? not sure but it will have a nacet in it for sure.what will july s focus be ? 20180617_234308.jpg

    I'm glad you're feeling better, my friend. Statistically, being a Samurai at 70% already places you above the 99th percentile of the world population.

    At least I was smart enough to not schedule a client onsite until Monday afternoon. :( What was I thinking? Why not Tuesday?


    Thank you Charlie.

    Sadly, its back to work today. At least I can get a first rate shave to start the week. This hardware and software delivered as expected. Three passes and touch ups ended in a near perfect shave. A splash of Agua Balsamica and I think I might be ready for the day. I hope everyone has a great Monday.

    I got samples of both. I didn't think I'd like the scent of either of them. I was right, I'm not fond of either. I seem to think mutton tallow soaps are a little higher in performance over beef tallow. Electric Sheep does have its fans, you should try it. I'll shave with either then apply the 'Aqua Velva Overcoat'. Obviously, a personal preference thing.

    Beautiful picture, Clint! I hope the first day back isn't too rough.

    Thank you Mark. I've been very productive this morning. So far it has not been as bad as I thought it would be.
