    I have a very busy day ahead so up early and on my way. Good thing all the hardware and software play nice together. Two passes and minimal touch ups ended in a near perfect shave. A splash of the matching aftershave and I am off to fight traffic. I hope everyone has a great Monday.

  5. Congrats on the shave! You've come to realize what many of us have - it's the technique - not the blade, or even the razor. While there will always be blades we like better than others, all of them are sharp enough to get a decent shave with. One thing most seem to agree on when it comes to blades; it's hard to beat Russian steel when it comes to sharpness, smoothness, and longevity.

    Arko!! One of the finest gifts Turkey has given us! Which reminds me...I haven't used it in far too long!

    Prep: Cold water and Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap
    Blade: Schick
    Razor: Schick E2
    Brush: JR #142 black badger
    Soap: Stirling Kaboom
    Post: Witch hazel, Stirling Kaboom aftershave

    This little razor is a handful. I think I've tamed the beast of the Micromatic but this E2 still eludes me. A couple of weepers, but nothing too bad, and a smooth shave, but this razor will bite you in a hurry. I find it so interesting that it's much more potent than any other injector I have. I like it for two days growth and use it sparingly. Should probably focus on it at some point, but that could be down the road.

    Stirling Kaboom is one of their new Black Friday scents. Based on Spice Bomb by Viktor and Rolf - enjoyable, lighter cologne scent. Amazing lather as usual. I added some menthol crystals to the splash and it was pleasantly chilly.

    Good shave all around. I want to thank everyone for your kindness in prayers and thoughts for my mom. Enjoy your day!
