    That Gear shift has been stuck in high "enable" ever since I got the first samples.

    Thanks Jason! I give credit to Charlie @wristwatchb for suggesting I hold the camera still. It helps! I'll pass the B-day wishes on to the girls ;)
    Thanks Terry! I see you read on through the middle parts, too.
    Thanks Perry & Clint!
    Thank you Gary! Been working on your Egyptian Maths? Was I too obscure?

    RazoRock 400 Noir Plissoft Synthetic Shaving Brush
    Halleluah Pottery Shaving Bowl 1995
    Stirling Noir Shave Soap
    Stirling Noir Aftershave Splash
    Nivea Sensitive Post Balm
    Personna Blade - New
    Weck Sextoblade

    First time using the Sextoblade in a couple of years. I completed two passes and decided I was ahead of the game and left it at that. I did not have any weepers or nicks. It was a close shave but not as comfortable as my DE shaves. Finished up with alum which was a little hot. I need more practice and work on my technique. Applied some Nivea post balm and a little Stirling Noir aftershave.

    Y'all take care.

    That's very cool, Jim...pure mechanical driving beauty with no extra fluff to complicate things. I love everything about the old Chevy muscle cars. I bet it's a blast to drive.

    My mom hauled the kids and groceries around in her '67 Camaro. I wasn't too exciting with the 250 cu. in. 6-cylinder, but I sure wish we had hung on to it.

    Sunday January 13 - clean-up shave

    This is the least amount of time I had spent on this thread since joining th 30DC in October 2016 - just the way things have gone this month. The last page I read was 28; the thread is now on page 151. I am almost 2500 posts behind. Oh well...

    Jumping in today, I had about a three day stubble and am going to dinner at my sister's so a civilizing shave was in order.

    Fatip Grande / GSB (5?)
    Simpsons CH2 Chubby Synthetic Bristles
    Fendrihan Lavender Sandalwood soap sample
    Alum and TSD Vanilla milk aftershave

    Two passes and I am cleanshaven again. This Fendrihan soap sample seems to last forever. At the rate it is going, I might get another dozen shaves out of it. I plan to stick with it until it is finally deceased.

    Hope everyone had a good Sunday leading into a great week!
