    Alphabetical journey through soaps and creams
    Letter S

    Prep: Cold water and Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap
    Blade: Schick
    Razor: Schick G1
    Brush: JR #142 black badger
    Soap: Soap Commander Fortitude
    Post: Witch hazel, Soap Commander Fortitude aftershave

    Wonderful shave with this setup. The Fortitude scent is terrific and the lather quality and post shave feel are top notch. Easy, smooth, and comfortable all around. Sometimes I wonder if I shouldn't just whittle down my den to Soap Commander, Stirling, and The Fat. I'd be very happy with those soaps.

    Up a little earlier than usual to work on Disney World FastPasses. We are going for Spring Break and we can start reserving those at 6am local time. Wilson doesn't know we're going yet. He went with us last year when I took the band and has talked about it ever since. So we decided to take him again. Can't wait!

    Enjoy your day!

    That is correct, Patrick. I got tired of the shedding and cut the knot off. Then I cleaned out the remainder of the knot and reknotted it. Much better. ;)
    I got that brush off a BST thread. My guess is that is was a shedder for him, and silly me, I didn't ask if it was. At first I thought maybe he abused the brush, causing it to shed. Then I found various reviews on the Commodore X3 where many others experienced shedding as well.

    Thank you, Perry!
    I envy your trip to Disney. We've been three times. Twice when our daughter was younger and once before she started college. We had a blast each time.
    Thank you, Terry!
    I have the full size soap and aftershave on the way. The witch hazel is nice. It has cinnamon in it so it gives a nice burn as well.
    Thank you, Clint! Terrific shave from the Sabre this morning. The first shave with it started off pretty rough. Palm stropping the blade was great advice. Thank you.

    Quick. Simple. Good.

    I didn't need a shave, but gave it a quick one pass to clean up for work meetings with the boss lady today.

    Nice shave with the SRX, Neal. It will be interesting to see how it stacks up against the Luxor. Thanks for the Lynn Abrams trip report. It sounds like you had a whole lotta fun. I look forward to the results of your upcoming kami shave. I know this is something you've wanted to try for a long time.
