    Switched to the Red Tip this morning. Realized that the rest of the gear besides the razor happens to be Italian- Soap, AS and Knot.
    Got a nice lather from the Valobra and had 3 very smooth passes. This soap (and brush for that matter) can take a lot of water. I fed it more than last time and was rewarded.
    Not feeling very irritated, and can’t feel sandpaper. I’d call this a good start to the day.
    Have a great day all!

    Have a great night, Neal!
    Nice shave Gary!
    Thank you, Bruce.
    Fantastic Brush Mark!
    Awesome shot, Jim! I'm kicking myself for not picking up the Sabre on Black Friday ...
    Awesome photo and shave Danny!
    Paul, I'm guessing you don't rinse the lather off your puck of soap after you shave. My guess is what your seeing the is leftover lather deflating as it dries.
    Great shave Jason!

    I didn't know for sure until now that you hadn't purchased a Sabre. I thought it would show up in one of your SOTD pictures.

    December 20

    Muhle R41/Big Bomber SS
    Feather (1)
    30DC LE
    SC Love
    Alum, Thayers WH, USB, Clubman, Aramis

    I enjoyed a deliriously doubly decadent early Thursday morning two-passer, best described as a shaving aria. With an expertly applied light touch and carefully orchestrated mug stretching, the Feather blade became one with the R41. Together, the razor and blade performed as a virtually seamless extension of my left arm, such that the transition between flesh and stainless steel became blurred. It is no overstatement that newborn babies the world over would be downright envious of this smooth old hipster redneck. As you all know, I don't like to brag, but I am compelled to speak the truth.

    Then came the cabaletta, where I applied strategically heavy doses of Clubman and Aramis, and then I rightfully paused to admire my handiwork. The glorious event culminated with a cadenza unlike any that's ever been heard. With good reason, this was the highlight of the day for me and my very fortunate Bride.

    Have a great day, men!

    Best shave out of the Mamba .70 yet. Took my time and focused on maintaining a minimum cutting angle and no pressure. The added weight of the SS handle really helped the razor do its work while I navigated. Three passes BBS finish no irritation! Have a great day my friends!

    Well, I do rinse it off, but back into the sink. Am I supposed to rinse it into the puck?

    Whew!!! Osage Rub on a cold winter day, what was I thinking.
    In full disclosure, this soap.was sent to me, I did not pay for it. Will have a review of it soon. 1 or 2 shaves is not enough to have a quality review. From Green Mountain Soap. IMG_20181220_101303_383.jpg

    Nice, Andrew! If you make a habit of shaving daily you're going to need to stock up on blades and software.
