    All the area schools here will be closed tomorrow. Birmingham City Hall is closed. I saw where the Georgia governor closed all offices in the warning counties.

    With a New Governor and the Super Bowl in town this weekend, no one is taking any chances on another Snowmageddon.

    Monday morning January 28 - cleaning up

    Gillette Black Beauty refurbished by Delta Echo on 4 / Sharp Star (2)
    JR #267 birdseye maple and Omega boar knot
    Jeeves Private Study aka Bay Rum soap
    Alum and Jeeves Bay Rum splash

    My last shave seems to have been Tuesday! I knew I hadn't shaved since Friday as I was on call all weekend, but I didn't realise it was longer than that until I checked here. All I know is I had quite a stubble built up.

    The big boar brush whipped up a great lather from the Jeeves while face lathering. Then I went to work with the razor.... My usual two passes got me down to a socially acceptable appearance but not what I consider a really close shave anymore (would have thought that with the electric I think.) And there seemed to be a lot more blade feel than I expect from a Gillette adjustable on 4 plus quite a bit of tugginess. Bad blade maybe? I binned it just to be sure.

    Oh well, at least the alum was silent and the Bay Rum smells great.

    Hope everyone has a great week!

    A picture of your refurbished Black Beauty would be helpful.

    That is up to @NCoxSTL, but yes, I believe that is usually one of the main options.

    Yes you are correct!
    But in the bottle, unbeknownst to you, there is Clubman Pinaud. ;)
    The tape on the bottom, you can't read, marks the bottle for me. That's why it's turned sidways.
    My wife is making a lable for it.

    Thanks Joe!

    Awesome shave John, took the safe bet on binning the blade. It was probably junk.
