    Thanks for the update, Adam!

    Great post and report, Joseph!

    Nice photo, Clint! Your day of snacks sounds delicious! My wife and I love Indian food and we take Wilson to our favorite place about once a month. All the servers know him by now.

    July 22 SOTD:

    Razor: Gillette 40s Style Rocket
    Blade: Polsilver
    Brush: PAA Atomic Rocket
    Lather: Crown King Pareidolia
    Aftershave: Crown King Pareidolia
    Additional Care:
    Stirling Unscented PSB

    A nice smooth shave with the SS cousin from across the pond. Two passes for a DFS. The mechanism on the Rockets always feels a little smoother than the SS. The blade feel on this razor is similar to the Ranger Tech. I hope everyone has a great day!

    With the high humidity back this week, it's time to focus on the cold/chill stuff. Well, so far as "chill" is concerned, the Stoylin Glacial Wintergreen should see a couple days of use. Other than that, the week expects to feature Gillette Foamy Menthol, Stoylin Sandpiper A.S. w/Menthol, Gillette Series Cool Wave A.S., and maybe the Razorock Acqua Soap(which isn't as cold as Wintergreen or Foamy, but works we'll enough with Aqua Velva to give me some protection from the humidity).

    July 22nd
    Razor: Blackbird SB
    Blade: Rapira Platinum Lux (2)
    Brush: Yaqi High Mountain Silvertip
    Pre shave: Stirling mentholated
    Soap: CK Atomic Age Bay Rum
    Lucky Tiger face tonic
    AS: CK Atomic Age Bay Rum

    I've had a run of excellent shaves! Great shave from the Blackbird this morning. This razor has a lot of blade feel. My first touch on my face reminded me of why I chose it for MAYhem. Patient two pass with touch up left me with a near BBS irritation free shave.

    Have a great Sunday! [​IMG]

    It’s good to be back home. My wife is out of town, which gave me the bathroom by myself before church. Time to grab some favorites and enjoy a leisurely shave. I forgot how good this blade is. Wonderful shave!
