    Thank you Patrick. The RR soap is a very firm croap. Nowhere near as hard as a triple-milled, but firmer than a true cream, such as C.R. Salter.
    I appear here every Monday, Perry.
    If I shave it off, my wife will just ask me to grow it back, although she prefers that short-cropped look.
    Thank you Mark. :)

    Very nice, Partick!
    Is a good feeling when technique trumps tools, isn't it!
    It would not be the end of the world if Stirling came out the winner, would it ?
    Nice shot, Gary!
    Nice setup, John! I had a Single Ring clone, probably germane, but I ended up selling it when I got the real thing.
    beautiful shot Clint!
    Excellent photo, Jim!
    Very nice, Jim!
    Great shave Charlie! Stay strong my friend, you are doing great!
    Decadent all the way, Jason!
    Excellent shot, Joseph! 20 minutes of loading :shocked003:. And I though I loaded for a long time.
    Beautiful setup. Mark!

    Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap
    Walbusch Humpback Slant
    Pol Silver SI (2)
    Yaqi Barber Pole (24mm, Frigate Class)
    Captains Choice 45th Parallel
    Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill ASB

    For my first Decadent December shaves I decided to use Walbusch Humpback Slant again, because the first shave with it was so good! I also decided to use the Captains Choice 45th parallel soap, that I hadn't used before, but knew had a decadent scent. To me the scent smells like black cherry vanilla ice cream, and it is scented pretty strongly! This soap is very soft and I probably didn't need to souse it, but I did any way. The Yaqi Mew Brown knot (Synbad) picked up tons of soap as I loaded and it look a good long while to work in enough water to get it properly hydrated. It turned out to be a very shiny, creamy lather that was definitely top tier slick. I was a little rushed this morning so I only did two passes, but two with the Walbusch were enough for a high grade DFS, so I'm not complaining! Have a great day my friends!

    I really like the Supply leather case. So your bet is pretty safe.
