I hope I got everyone. Thank you all for your kindness, and thoughts and prayers. It is greatly appreciated. His oldest son has downs and depends on his family and his other son was just about to start his first term of college. It really makes you value the simple everyday blessings we frequently overlook in daily life.

****EDIT - That lather came out great today. The best method I found with the lather bowl is to very slowly add small drops of water and work the lather, then more drops until it looks like cool whip. The key is to add only 'drops' of water and not put too much water in at first. I noticed that when I put the same amount of water in, but all at once before lathering, the lather would look thinner and too airy, but when adding just like 3-4 drops at a time in between working up lather, it comes out amazing.

And this was a 10 out of 10 shave today. I didn't list it, but I put on some pre-shave oil because my skin just felt too dry out of the shower. The 3-pass + cleanup came out great. Score another perfect shave for the Superspeed + BiC-Chrome-Platinum combo. I have a cup of my special coffee during the shave, Peet's Major Dickason's Blend. It has been a great start to my Sunday morning in the Pacific Time Zone. Just in time to watch the pre-game reports on football and smell my vintage Old Spice Lime in the air. Life is pretty good.

 

The way it is for Sunday:
prep-Nivea 4 Men Bodywash(Energy)in shower
shave-Stoylin Glacial Wintergreen Soap
brush-Crown King Spindle Duro Tali-26 mm.
razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot + DisposeABLE
A.S.-Gillette Series Cool Wave Splash

 

Steve, that's terrible news....I'm so sorry to hear. Will be thinking of his family, hope they can get though this OK.

 

I hope you do better with the C-man shave soap than I did. Doc Pinaud needs to have that in a larger size.

After not shaving for a few days and having a pretty heavy beard, I went with three passes while taking my time. Ended up with a very smooth and comfortable BBS shave.
