    Alphabetical journey through soaps and creams
    Letter S

    Prep: Cold water and Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap
    Blade: Schick
    Razor: Schick J1
    Brush: JR #60 synthetic
    Soap: Soap Commander Vision
    Post: Witch hazel, Soap Commander Vision aftershave

    Nice, easy shave with this setup. This is my last Soap Commander shave in the alphabetical jaunt, and I've enjoyed them all. Terrific soaps with nice slickness but the post shave feel is truly outstanding. Didn't shave yesterday with the day off and so the J1 mowed through two days of growth with ease. Nice all around.

    Soapy Science Unscented is up for tomorrow. Have a great day!

    I am so happy the cold temps arrived after yesterday's rain. The Duke 3 whipped up the Oleo Shiloh with ease. The resulting lather was super slick with a wonderful scent. Three passes and touch ups ended with the baby in hand. A splash of the Shiloh aftershave and I am off to tackle the morning commute. I hope everyone has a great Wednesday.

  8. Thank you, Clint! Wonderful shave on your end as well. Looks like the Supply is becoming your go-to razor.

  9. Gillette Sheraton
    Gillette Silver Blue
    Barbasol Pacific Rush Foam

    Was continuing the razors I haven't used in a while this morning with the Sheraton. Unfortunately, this was just a quick one pass canned goo shave to get out the door to deal with the snow.

    I had to dig myself out then my elderly neighbor, and still get to work on time.

  12. Nice shave, Jim! I'm hoping it's not a really cold morning when my Lemony Orange comes up in the rotation. I love the menthol, though!

    7 degrees farenheit right now. This morning's shave was a good prep for the day.

    29th focus shave


    I enjoyed a super two-pass shave this morning with my normal shavette focus setup. Third Pass Shaving Co. Active Duty, compliments of @Douglas Carey, provided an easy, slick, protective, and lightly scented lather. Active Duty has "...a woodsy scent, having notes of tobacco and rum..." My Bride gave the scent a thumbs up too! :cool: No problems using the Rapira for the third time in the Parker, although it didn't seem quite as smooth. I'll try it again tomorrow just for kicks.

    Stay warm and be safe, friends!

  16. Thank you Perry. I’m really enjoying the Supply. I tend to find a razor and run with it for long stretches of time.
