    Thank you, Jim!

    Beautiful photo, Jim! That's a great smelling shave. Love that scent.

    I can also recall the cart days and how I shaved every other day because I disliked it and the Mach 3 cartridges were so expensive. Now it's such an enjoyable part of my day.

    Great posts to start us off right today, gentlemen!

    Clint, beautiful photo as usual. How many brushes do you have anyway?

    Perry, I agree about the Hendrix soap. I bought a tub (two actually since I was paying international shipping), have been using it all month, and am very pleased with the result. Plus @Pete123 not only shipped fast, he included a blade bank and a test sample of his planned balm with my order.

    Jim, I can empathise with your cart memories. I was never much of a cart user being a high tech type myself. Meaning I relied on electrics to give me my daily dose of crappy shaves and razorburn. Plus they regularly conked out and had to be replaced at horrendous expense...

    October 16 SOTD:

    Razor: PAA Ascension SS
    Blade: Voskhod
    Brush: PAA Atomic Rocket
    Lather: Stirling British Leather
    Aftershave: Stirling British Leather
    Additional Care:
    Stirling Unscented PSB

    Another great shave with this razor. As a side note, this was shave 9 with this blade, for no reason other than I have forgotten to take it out. It is still smooth, and I get DFS results. This razor is far from aggressive, but it is efficient and works well. I hope everyone has a great day!

    Thanks, John!
    I was only shaving once, sometimes twice a week. I liked being clean shaven but didn't like the process or the results.

    Jim, somehow you managed to escape my multi-quite. Awesome photo, the New Head look very nice on the Timeless handle!

    Thank you Jim. This handle is my first aftermarket razor handle and still one of my favorites.

    Excellent photo and lineup Jim. I hope you have a great day.

    Thanks, John! I like how a good many wet shaving businesses are plentiful with their generosity when sending orders. Stirling always includes some type of sample. Glad to hear Pete was generous to you!

    Thank you, Jim!

    Beautiful photo, Jim!

    Love the colors Jim. It is a cloudy messy looking day here. Your photo added the much needed color.

    Thank you John. I think my brush count is up to 23 or 24. I’ll have to check the spreadsheet tonight to confirm.

    It will be increasing shortly since I have another one on the way.
