    Love the filter effect Jim.

    The scales on that razor look fantastic.

    Great shave and photo. Thanks for the report on the soap. I have never heard of it before and now I am interested.

    The REX is really a great looking razor.

    Love the brush and photo Amigo.

    We just gave her some Tylenol 3. Maybe it will knock her out.

    Still working on this Stirling sample. It performs far better than when I tried Stirling in the past. I am not sure if it is because I am building the lather on the puck or the formula changed or my water changed. Tomorrow I will try on an old puck of Stirling I found hidden in soap drawer.

    Irritation A+ Closeness A Smoothness A+ Sharpness A+

    Razor: Art Razor Saga 6/8 half hollow
    Strop: T Miller
    Brush: 30DC LE
    Pre: Proraso
    Soap: Stirling Margaritas in the Attic
    AS: Alcolado Glacial AS, Edwin Jagger ASB

    It's a fairly unknown (as far I know) soap. Check your PM box.

    Good evening friends!

    Triple digit weather here today. I spent the day installing a piece of equipment on a metal deck, no shade, no breeze in the usual PPE. Steel toe boots, nomex coveralls buttoned at wrist and neck, leather gloves, safety glasses and hard hat. Tonight's shower and shave were especially welcomed.

    Excellent shave from some excellent gear.

    Right now I'm sitting on the couch under the ceiling fan with the AC cranked. I feel clean and refreshed.

    Have a great night men![​IMG]
