    Nice picture, Brian. First instinct would be to try and catch it. Good job getting out of the way.

    There are no "pretty good" alligator wrestlers. There are only excellent alligator wrestlers and dead alligator wrestlers.

    Just saying.

    Good job not instinctively reaching out to grab it, Brian. The name on the soap would have been very prophetic, then!

    Brush: 30DC LE/Pure Badger
    Soap: Der Vergulde Hand
    Post: Alum, Listerine, WH

    Third shave with the B1. It's getting easier to find the right angle, though I think I need to switch to Schick blades instead of Personna. Still, a very nice shave to start the week.

    Menthol Monday!

    Delightfully cold shave this evening! Two pass with touch up, near BBS. Just a great shave! The lefty north to south pass felt pretty good. Noticable improvement with each shave.

    Have a great night!

    Damn Jim your photo skills are legit. You ever try Lea shaving cream, it might make a nice addition to menthol Mondays.

    Thanks Scott.
    I just looked at Lea. I haven't heard of it before. Sounds tempting.

    Razor - Type E Schick Injector
    Blade - [​IMG] (2)
    Soap - Stirling Electric Sheep
    Brush - Stirling Two Banded Synthetic
    Post - Alum

    Second night with the Type E Schick from @CarlfromMO . I grabbed the Stirling Electric Sheep to get my mutton tallow fix. The scent on this one shouldn't be one I like, but I do. Lots of citronella and eucalyptus. It's startling, bracing, and fun, and the after shave feel is just marvelous thanks to the mutton.

    Three pass shave again because I was enjoying it way too much. The baby is in the house again after a smooth shave that couldn't have gone any better. I don't remember the Type E that I have used before being this smooth. The finish on it is not as perfect as this one so maybe that's part of it.

    One more day left in July! I'll have the August thread up either late tonight (Wait, it's already late) or early tomorrow. Keep those July shaves coming!
