I would love to be in, if it happens again. My wife even said she would come along, which surprised me a bit, considering she has always been completely ambivalent towards pretty much every aspect of my involvement. Or, you could all come to MN. I could line up guided fishing, smuggle in a pickup load of New Glarus beers out of Wis., (Google Spotted Cow beer controversy) and you can all douse yourself in Electric Sheep AS to ward off skeeters.
An awesome Old School shave. Moms are easily under-appreciated. I remember fifteen to twenty years ago, working out in the ND and MT oil fields, anywhere from 70-100 hours a week, whenever it would come up, saying that my stay at home wife had a much harder job being home alone and raising two little ones. While going back for more school in her “spare time” My wife is a saint.
Thank you Jim. So far I my will power is holding for the Paladin release. Lord yes. The OneBlade is my best Gem Razor by far. I don't like the Gem blades as well as the Feather FHS blades. However, the Feather is done in 2-3 shaves and costs bunch more to use. The Gem blades really shine in costs and longevity.
I decided to shave with one of my recent acquisitions this morning. It is an NOS Wapienica razor that just had the packing grease removed. I stropped it up and had a surprisingly good two pass shave. This might become my new travel razor.

I'm curious....if you were shaving your face, how did the razor bite you in the.....oh!! Oh!! You didn't mean literally? Here I was thinking that maybe, just maybe, you were so confident in your skills with the R41 that you decided to manscape with it. Maybe keep that in mind for MAYhem. That's a surefire win. At least in forum points. Great report and photo, Joseph! And, very nice description of the Semogue brush. Sounds very tempting...
SOTD for July 15, 2018 Prep: Cold water and Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap Blade: GEM PTFE Razor: GEM Featherweight Brush: Stirling Kong synthetic Soap: Stirling Iced Pineapple Post: Witch hazel, Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill aftershave Fun to read the reports of the 30DC meet-up. Glad it was a success! Let's toss around ideas for next year soon. Since @NCoxSTL is Bama fan and @Bama Samurai and @Keithmax both grew up in Alabama, we could meet here. Great food down here and plenty of places to meet. I like the Minnesota idea from @PickledNorthern as well. Today's shave was excellent. One pass and done. No need for a super close shave today and the Featherweight worked quite well. We're trying to coordinate a Featherweight week over in the Injector and SE Party thread. So I might be using it all week. Regardless, excellent shave today. Enjoy your day!

Very pleased with my shave this morning. The Stoylin li'l brudder brush was in perfect concert with the Razorock Aqua soap. Clubman Gent's Gin A.S. finished me off to my great satisfaction. That Gent's Gin, I think, will be a nice match to the Razorock XXX Lime Burst Soap, too.
Great photo, Brian! I'm glad you all got the chance to meet up and have a good time. You made out like a bandit at the antique store, too.
