    Nice picture, Jeff. The blanket (?) you used for the background reminds me of one my aunt made for us when I was a kid. Very nice.

    Thank you, Doug!
    The soap is a nice pineapple scent with enough menthol kick without being over the top and of course Stirling performance. Probably one I won't buy full size because I don't think I would reach for it very often.

    Made a move today and did a few laps with my Naniwa 12K Super Stone.
    I was very careful, taped the blade, lapped the stone, kept even, albeit light pressure on the razor.
    Did some straight pulls and some smile pulls.
    Results...:signs002:
    Barrister & Mann Cologne Russe is a uniquely, spicy soap. Tingles the nose. I like it.
    Of course, this brand always creates a very fine lather.
    The Rooney is a nice brush. Very soft with credible backbone, but zero scritch.
    Before I describe the shave itself, I have to say that I feel that DE shaving, in particular, the ability to
    perform an ATG buffing pass, has set the SR shave bar unusually high.
    I am not even close with the SR.
    I can't say for sure that my work on the 12K improved the razor. Just can't.
    What I am going to do, is tomorrow, I am going to shave with my new Dovo 91, which, according
    to The Superior Shave, has been made shave ready. We'll see if I actually get better results.    ​

    Cranial bloodletting...by use of straight razors (@BaylorGator is trained in this method) or in the lab...is the only answer.
