    Decided to revisit my Old Type after a few years in the box. It was a nice comfortable shave.

    I should use this razor more.

    Enjoy your day.

    Good morning!

    Awesome shave to start the week! Three pass BBS with silent alum.

    Not much to report. Getting ready for a snowy drive into work. We finished assembling the compressor yesterday. Hopefully the N2 pressure test went well last night and things can return to normal.

    Have a great day!

    Good Monday morning all
    I look and feel like I put a blade in the razor to shave today. :)

    20190128_062008.jpg
    Using a new blade this morning made my newly acquire Gem Micromatic Open Comb, MMOC shave correctly.
    One clean pass with touch up on the chin and jaw line. A two pass on the gord that cleaned up nicely. Paying attention to my arm instead of the razor I scraped a small spot of my head. I wasn't streatching the forhead like I should, no blood, but a very stern warning from the gem to "pay attention, to me!".
    Oh I feel so much better.
    The Cluman Pinaud has a nice sent, the Stirling Barbershop worked as expected.
    The way I wizzeled and whopeled the razor this morning would have cut me up like crazy if I had an open blade. So I'll keep that on hold a little while longer.
    Life is good
    enjoy

    Thank you Charlie. The Duke 3 is a normal sized brush where the Chubby 2 is supersized. The two synthetic knots are very similar. The Duke 3 might be touch easier to splay since it is not as dense.

    Prep: Cold water and Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap
    Blade: GEM PTFE
    Razor: GEM Pushbutton
    Brush: Stirling Kong synthetic
    Soap: Soap Commander Passion
    Post: Witch hazel, Pitralon Classic aftershave

    Penultimate Soap Commander shave. Easy, comfortable shave this morning. The Pushbutton pushed through two days of growth in fine fashion. Wonderful lather from the Soap Commander Passion and a nice cedar and pine scented finish from Pitralon. Quite nice all around.

    The big talk down here is possible snow and poor road conditions early tomorrow morning. I expect school to be cancelled for tomorrow. A day off is always good! Wait and see, I guess.

    Enjoy your day!

    Excellent photo Perry. We have the same forecast for tomorrow. I really hope the frozen stuff misses us.

    Thank you, Clint! We got stuck at school 5 years ago today when they missed the forecast. Went to school and the snow moved much farther north than they anticipated. Temperatures were already in the teens and it quickly froze over. My wife got about halfway home from work before having to shelter overnight at a church. You probably remember it - Snowmageddon - because I think it affected Atlanta as well. Anyway, we've been pretty sensitive to it ever since that. I almost had to spend the night at work but was able to limp to my parents' house. We made it to pick up my wife the next day but came back to their house and spent a second night before we made it home. Wild time.
