    That was a contest last Saturday, so that was on top of our regular activities. Homecoming stuff has not started yet at that point.

    I like to bring out the beast razors on the weekend, Today is smiling, huge M Martinez. It is 8/8 plus is a near wedge grind. Inspired by @Primotenore I broke out the vintage Old Spice, this is a truly fine soap. A tingle from from the alum left me just short of epic.

    Irritation A Closeness A+ Smoothness A+ Sharpness A+

    Razor: M Martinez 8/8
    Strop: Mastro Livi
    Brush: Rooney
    Pre: Proraso
    Soap: Vintage Old Spice
    AS: Lucky Tiger AS
    Scent: Creed Neroli Sauvage

    I caught up on the thread from yesterday (whew!), and I'm fixin' to head up and grab a shave with my trusty OCtober set up. Great discussion, photos, and reports yesterday, gentlemen! OCtober is my favorite month with The 30 Day Crew.

    I'm getting together today with three old friends from my working days. One of my buddies is going through a very tough time, so we are hoping to lift his spirits. I'm really looking forward to our time together.

    I did my post-vacation weigh-in this morning...down almost 31 lbs. Slow and steady...just focusing on the basics...seems to be working for me. If my progress continues as planned, I should reach my goal sometime around next spring or summer. :)

    Have a fantastic weekend, gentlemen!

    Up and moving pretty early this morning since my wife and I are going to the local arts and crafts festival. At least I had time for a wonderful 3 pass shave before leaving. All the hardware and software worked well together but the star of the show was the Paladin brush. The brush is a real dream for face lathering. It has very good backbone, soft tips and excellent flow through. Three passes and touch ups ended in a perfect BBS shave. A splash of Dominica Grand Bay and I am to spend the morning with my bride. I hope everyone has a great Saturday.
