    Sounds like you should be making another order toute suite before that scent gets sold out. While youre there maybe pick up a couple of others you havent tried yet.

    I think you're going to enjoy the injctor Terry. I do a 1 pass headshave with my E2 and its baby smooth. Hope the shoulder gets better soon.

    January 31st
    Razor: Supply Co 2dot
    Blade: Schick Proline
    Brush: Yaqi Mew Brown
    Pre-shave: Stirling Mentholated
    Soap: Stirling MITA
    Stirling Lemon Chill witch hazel
    PAA Star Jelly unscented
    AS: Stirling MITA

    Good morning!

    Great shave to end the month! Three passes with additional touch up. Near BBS. The Proline is done. This was at least the eighth shave on it, probably more. My right jaw kept the baby at bay, even after buffing, that spot is a little sandpapery.

    I used nothing but synthetic brushes this month and got some excellent results. Not sure if I could pick a favorite knot. The differences are subtle.

    The alphabetical progression through my soaps continued and will complete mid February. I will then focus on bay rum soaps and aftershaves inspired by @Terry. Razors and brushes will be unfocused. As of now I have no idea what I'll be using tomorrow.

    It has been a great month! See you all in February!

    The B20 gave me some great shaves, right up until it stopped wanting to cut through my whiskers. Glad I tried them and fortunately I know a fella that keeps them in stock.

    Well gents and gals, this month has come to an end. Other than today being my mom's birthday, I decided to finish it off with an outstanding shave!
    These items are great for blue collar guys, and high end shavers as well! A mix of both as we send this month off to history.

    I'd like to thank eceveryo who helped me find my best lathers a couple of months ago, and for those that kept up with me throughout the month.
    Here is 31 January 2019 shave!
