    Razor: Cooper Monobilt
    Blade: SuperMax Blue Diamond (1)
    Brush: Maseto Finest badger 30mm
    Pre-shave: Stirling Mentholated
    Soap: JoHS Bay Rum

    AS: JoHS Bay Rum

    Good morning, gentlemen!

    Breaking the rules with this morning's shave. Two new variables introduced, razor and blade, courtesy of Andrew @Linuxguile . I loaded the SuperMax blade paying attention to placement and getting the top cap fully closed. The shave was excellent! Two pass with extra touch up left me near BBS. Just a super smooth razor! I can see why this is Andrew's favorite. My first use and I can't imagine how it could be better.

    Have a great weekend!

    Terrific black and white photo, Jim! Your stock of PAA products is impressive. I've still yet to try them.

    ASW Old Virginia~~Rooney Emillion 2~~Gillette New SC~~Personna Med Prep~~Czech & Speake Cuba
    Focus Gear: Gillette New SC
    This Tobacco Soap/AS combo is perhaps my very favorite. SWMBO gave me the big nuzzle and said:
    "I LOVE how you smell" Now, that was really nice, until she added: "Can you sell the scents that I don't like?"
    You win a few, you lose a few.
    Back to the soap...ASW is made by the same people that produce WSP, albeit a slightly-altered formula,
    sold exclusively at another Forum's owner's website. I asked the folks at WSP if their Formula-T Tobacco was the same
    and that's when I learned of the difference. I have never tried the WSP Formula-T Tobacco,
    (I do have their Bay Rum, which is NOT my     favorite) so I am unable to make a direct comparison.
    The Old Virginia is brilliant; both in the soap base and the scent. Top-notch product.
    Too bad it's only available one place.
    The Gillette New SC was     loaded with a thrice-used Personna Med Prep, so it'll be binned afterwards.
    It did, however, give me a very comfortable and close shave. Sometimes the SC can give me trouble with the angle,
    but that was not to be with this shave. Long, slow swipes were easy-peasy.
    3 passes and some ATG buffing for a BBS result.
    C&S Cuba doesn't smell like a cigar, but smells like floral, fresh, tobacco leaves. NOT to be confused with Tabac.
    Great finish, great shave, great scent.    ​

    Sounds like a successful homecoming week Perry. I know you have to be exhausted and ready for things to return to normal.

    Wonderful photo and post, Joseph! Makes me want to try WSP Tobacco.

    Thanks, Clint! It was a good week and the kids had a blast, which is the most important thing. I'll be recovered by Monday hopefully!
