    September 11 SOTD:

    Razor: Vanta

    Brush: PAA Atomic Rocket
    Lather: The Body Shop Maca Root SC
    Aftershave: Crown King Captain Smythe's Reserve
    Additional Care:

    Another easy shave with the Vanta. I did a single pass and got a CCS. I went back to a little Bay Rum this morning, so my day is off to a good start. I hope everyone has a great day!

    I'm going to the supermarket this morning for all that great "clear lquid diet" stuff. As of this writing, no "regular" food until I return from the colonoscopy Thursday around 10(course they give you a cookie and fruit juice while waiting to get the results&commentary).

    Screwtape A Shaving Butterfly

    Tuesday morning September 11 -

    Supply Co V.2 Single Edge injector on plate #2 / Personna (unknown uses )
    Jason's non - 30DC cypress handle with Maggards 24mm two - band badger knot
    Hendrix Classics Barbershop soap sample
    Supply Co Arenella Coast balm

    Nice easy one pass and done shave today. Not BBS but definitely good enough for society. No need to test with the alum. I used the Arenella Coast balm because I thought its mix of bergamot, oakmoss and cedar would be a reasonably close match to the Hendrix mix of bergamot, basil leaf, oakmoss and white patchouli. The cedar gives the Arenella Coast a more woodsy scent but it wasn't a bad pairing.

    Hope you all have a great Tuesday!

    I noticed a bunch of SOTDs yesterday using Schick Repeaters, so it seemed like a good time to bring out mine. Apparently, it stopped by the aquarium on the way as it brought the baby dolphin home.

    Excellent shave and great find, Jason!
    Great shave, Neal. A little blood here and there is a small price to pay for a great shave.
    Fantastic shot, Perry!
    Very nice Jim! Your ATT looks amazing!
    Beautiful shot, Clint!
    Ouch! I hope that comes with a lifetime warranty.
    We like nice and easy, John!

    Went with yesterday’s purchase, the Arlington, this morning. Got a very nice lather with very little work, had 3 outstanding passes and am completely smooth. I love my DEs, but can definitely see why @PLAla and others use injectors all the time. I think @Keithmax ‘s positive assessment of this cream is bang on. Classic British scent and nice performance. The ladies in the cab don’t realize how lucky they are- Gentleman yesterday and Arlington today with the CL...:happy088:
    Just realized that this is the first day that I broke my Stirling focus this month. I’ll go back to the Gentleman tomorrow.
    Have a great day all!
