    I stood too close to the Enablers. Now I'll go look at that brassy Slim, and the SC New with that scratched up cap. I wonder if Delta Echo has any new colors since I last visited their site? :cool:

    I've used up dud shaving soaps by using them as either hand or facial soaps. As for @Keithmax and @clint64...

    Alright. I'll do Fatip and Barbasol/Arko. How about Sharp Star? Drug store AS. Alum.

    For all who are new:

    Welcome aboard! This crew is the best. Ask away and they'll show you the solutions to your shaving issues. Don't be afraid of OC... It has no effect on aggressiveness! Good luck and thanks for joining in the 30DC!

    I would expect the Russian Leather to smell more like vodka and less like a wet wolverine than the Michigan Leather.

    Wow! That's a lot of soap kills so far. Nice work to all of you who have successfully reduced your inventory. Or, who have finished existing soaps in order to buy two of something new. Either is perfectly acceptable.

    OCMM Focus

    Day #4

    Razor: OCMM
    Blade: GEM Stainless (5th use)
    Brush: Bluebeard Doubloon
    Soap: TOBS Peppermint
    Post Shave: Nivea Sensitive

    A 3 pass shave today - WTG, WTG, XTG (ATG under the chin). The first pass was completed with a blade that began to show signs of wear about 2/3 of the way through. I tossed that blade and put in a fresh one for the second pass (a repeat of the first with a slight angle on the cheeks/chin). The final pass was a bit of a step too far for some parts of my face (given that it was a new blade)! A few weepers (oh and I nicked a spot), but a DFS all over was the end result!

    Keeping it simple, as always! I really do love how you take such a utilitarian approach to shaving. - you get goptimal results from straight forward, good quality products!

    Somehow those images are strangely appropriate. I felt a shudder.
