    Rick, that's a great family photo. Thanks for sharing it. You have some beautiful grand children, and you are making memories with them. You are a fantastic grand father, and they will never forget it! Watch the little guy, there. I think he's fixin' to drop some shenanigans on you.

    Congrats on the continued weight loss, Neal. I hope you get a good report from the doctor.

    You've had a crazy busy month working day and night. I hope things start to calm down a little for you.

    It has been fun following your focus this month, but you better get rid of those crummy Sharp Stars. :)

    Great report and photo, Neal. I really admire your selflessness in trying to take on the burden of all those appalling Sharp Stars to spare your shave brothers the agony!

    And if I might vote on your next razor, I would suggest the Toggle. Almost anyone can shave with a modern Chinese Qshave, while the Toggle is the Original adjustable razor and almost unobtainable for most of us. In Adjustable August, it would add a touch of aristocratic hauteur to our otherwise sometimes rather plebeian offerings in this humble little thread...

    I don't think @Douglas Carey has to worry. There's a reason we call him the Insane Shaving Dude. ;)

    Prep: Cold water and Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap
    Blade: Personna
    Razor: Schick B1 injector
    Brush: Satin Tip 'The Purest' synthetic
    Soap: RazoRock Blue Barbershop
    Post: Witch hazel, RazoRock Blue Barbershop aftershave

    Pretty easy shave this morning with the B1. It's different than the other Schicks as far as weight and the angle has to be much more shallow. But it delivers a smooth ride nonetheless. I really enjoy this razor. Great lather from the RazoRock soap and a nice chilly finish from the splash. It has some definite menthol which is nice. Overall a nice shave.

    This week is moving quickly for me. Hope you have a great day!

    I am feeling much better today with only a little residual abdominal pain. A excellent 3 pass shave this morning. I managed to catch the baby with touch ups on my jawline and buffing my neck. However, I spoiled an otherwise perfect shave with an operator induced weeper. A splash of CC Bay Rum and I am off to fight the Atlanta morning commute. I hope everyone has a great Wednesday.
