    Alphabetical journey through soaps and creams
    Letter F

    Prep: Cold water and Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap
    Blade: vintage Personna Ultra Chrome
    Razor: Schick I1 injector
    Brush: Zenith B02 boar
    Soap: First Canadian Maximo Gomez
    Post: Witch hazel, Jeeves of Hudson Street Tobacco Bay Leaf aftershave

    No software that starts with D or E, so on to letter F. Wonderful lather from First Canadian Maximo Gomez. Thank you to @jtspartan for sending me a sample a while back. Easy to lather, slick, good post shave, etc. This soap has it all. The I1 was smooth and the results are excellent.

    Have a great day!

    Welcome back, John! Nice shave. I am like you and just in wherever if I've been off the thread for a while.

    Great setup and picture, Jim!

    Hard to believe it is already Wednesday. Overall a great shave this morning. The hardware and software worked well together. Three passes and touch ups ended in a near perfect shave. I did manage to nick my lower left neck. I hope everyone has a great Wednesday.

    Welcome back, John! As of late, if you don't check the thread for, I dunno....about 1/2 hour, you're already way behind. :)
    True, the Weishis aren't bad razors, and are fine shavers. They just feel kinda cheap.

    Thank you, Clint. I'm going to stick with the shavette until I can comfortably complete a shave. I enjoy the challenge but I don't enjoy the shaves. Unless my opinion changes, once I get somewhat proficient the IBC will likely go into the pouch that came with it and see rare use.
    Another stunner!

    Nice setup and report on the First Canadian soap, Perry. Maximo Gomez sounds like a winner, and how could it not be with a name like that? How is Alice's friend, Martha, doing? She's in my prayers this morning.
