    Sorry to hear this, Andrew. Losing a pet can be heartbreaking and difficult.

    I have a question Joseph. I bought the soap and completely smashed it up to conform to the container I have, so it has been broken up sufficiently so far. What is the advantage of grating it further and putting it back into the container?

    You are correct, Bruce. I am totally not a floral guy by any stretch of the imagination. I bought the YRP based on the recommendation of a guy who has very similar taste to me. When I bought it I thought I had lost my mind, as the rose is definitely a significant part of the scent, and I didn’t love it the first time or two I used it. Having said that CL Has a way of mixing fragrances that I wouldn’t ordinarily gravitate to and making them something special. Bottom line, the scent is definitely rose forward, which by all means I should absolutely hate, but this stuff is like crack.

    Posting to this group of crazies 9,000 times is both an accomplishment, and a concern, Perry. Congratulations, brother!

    Yup, that's the one Danny. Thanks for the video! The one I looked at didn't have case, brochure, or proprietary blades. Interesting mechanical feature. Yours looks better than the one in the video.

    ( @jmudrick may be familiar with these. He's into all things cool and not Gillette. ;))

    SOTD 01172019.gif Software inspired by Joseph @Primotenore. Easy slick lather that took just a touch of fine tuning. I pushed the hydration until the shine appeared, thought I went just a dribble passed. Back to the puck for a swirl and perfect! Fresh half of a Lab Blue in the Stainless Steel holder and took my WTG and ATG passes. I didn't want to fall back to a DE cleanup so I rinsed off the lather and did a tactile inspection. Still a little rough under the jaw line & around my chin. Nice thing about bowl lathering to decadence - plenty of passes worth every shave. I hit the targeted areas being a little more attentive since no blood was drawn yet. Though I'd rate it a SAS, considering I hardly ever got this close with a cart it was a successful reduction. The Clubman, decanted into a vintage bottle and new hot sauce cap, is getting low. Don't have to order it since several shops in town keep it on the shelf.
    Good Shaves Y'all!
