Thank you for your kind words, gentlemen.

 

Okay, where did you get that Valet VC4? And how can I manage to get one? Is that re-plated? How does it shave?

 

Thank you, Doug!

very cool...

 

Thanks. I really wasn't happy with the pic. The label art color just doesn't work with any background I tried.

 

Karl, nice razor but I have to say I really like that Shavemac brush.

Brush - 30 DC LE
Post - Alum

Sixth day for the Personna 74 and it still shows no signs of getting tired. I stayed with the Qshave on "holy cow" setting for the third shave in a row and the blade was still as smooth as day one. And...still sharp. I've actually been waiting to write this up thinking maybe I'd finally feel a rough spot or something. I certainly didn't feel any tugging or other signs of the blade getting tired. And, after much faceturbation, I have to say the baby is on board yet again. Tomorrow will make a solid week on this one blade and unless it just folds up or falls apart I predict it will surpass that easily.

As for the software portion of the shave - the Soap Commander was its usual fine self. How can a vegan soap leave such a great face feel afterwards? I know I need to give this soap more attention and credit but I'm such a Tallow lover I hate to give credit to the non-tallow soaps. This one earns it every time. I still have probably 2/3 of a tub of the Courage but I'm going to go ahead and order a tub of Fortitude to match up with it. I need more of this in my rotation.

Hope everyone survived Monday. I have two more days until my "weekend" of Thursday and Friday.
