    It's a great brush. I got this one in a PIF that was called The Budget PIF. @Marverel used some budget gear for a month and then PIFed it away. Anyway, it has been a terrific brush.

    Thank you, Jim!

    Another wonderful photo and shave, Charlie!

    OneBlade Genesis V1
    Feather FHS
    Chubby 2 Synthetic
    MDC Fougere
    Fine Platinum AS
    Creed Aventus

    Two passes + clean up today. On the way to a near perfect shave with the Genesis V1. Loaded the CH2 Synthetic heavy and was rewarded with a sheer mountain of creamy goodness. Topping off this shave with Fine Platinum and its sister EDT Creed Aventus. The cobwebs have been blown away, my face and neck are super smooth. I am totally refreshed and ready for action. Aces gentlemen!

    Nice 2 pass shave this morning. I suspect that this is my default shave with the MMOC- two passes and a little touch up. Completely smooth? Nope. Excellent results for a 2 pass shave? Absolutely. Finished with the pleasant Mountain Rain for Jeeves January and am smelling like I am off to conquer forests.
    Have a great day all!

    Sounds like an interesting soap, Gary. Great write up as always.
    Very cool looking scuttle, Jim. Love the colours on it.
    A great shave to start the day, Perry! Love those ‘49 knots- just got two more in myself.
    Love the simple colour in the pic, Charlie! I think you are a little colder than us today. Amazing.
    Another nice CH2 Synth? Between you and Clint that is one fine enabling job, Mark.

    Good morning all!
    Two day post this time.
    Hope everyone is doing well.

    Broke my Bay Rum run for a couple days, don't know how long it will last.

    Thursday was a Stirling Barbershop day. I tried the Pinaid I put in a old spice jar I bought for a buck along with 5 more. I'll say that it was not one of my favorite sents, but after it set on my skin it changed for the better. Using my PAA Bakelite Slant loaded with a Feather did a fine 2 pass face and a 3 pass gord.
    Friday much of the same but pulled out a favorite tool, my Gem Junior with a Gem Personna blade.
    Only one pass top and bottom was great and smooth.
    The Pinaid again to see if it is a winner, so far so good!
    enjoy

    Thanks, Jason. I've used the scuttle every day since I got it. I even use it to rest my brush in when when I use a soap like a shave stick. It has spoiled me.

    Randy admit it, you want a CH2.You need one badly! They are excellent brushes for the money too. Always available here.

    You are even less subtle in your enabling than Clint is, Mark. I admit it, I want a CH2. I’m on a bit of a Synth kick right now and everyone speaks so highly of this knot. At least I do have a couple of other knots here I need to make homes for first and that will distract me from the Simpsons site for a bit.:)
    PS-I assume Randy wants one as well.

    Beautiful photo, Mark!

    Conquer forests - that's awesome! Great shave.

    Thank you, Jason!

    Wonderful shave, Terry!

    Thank you, Mark! You started it for me when I won the newbie giveaway way back when. Your gift was a refill of The Fat. Loved it ever since.

    Awesome shot, Jim!
    I really enjoy seeing your Fat Friday setup, Perry!

    Awesome photo and shave Jason!
