SOTD March 3, 2019

Prep: Cold water and Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap
Blade: Personna lab blue
Razor: Razorine
Brush: JR #41 badger
Soap: Stirling British Leather
Post: Witch hazel, Stirling British Leather aftershave

Well, I put the PAL Adjustable in the photo because I thought it would be needed due to the Razorine's odd design. I didn't have much hope. But, lo and behold, I had a terrific first run with the Razorine. I got a little too confident under my nose and ended up with a tiny cut as I trying to go sideways. But that's okay, it cleared up quickly. I lathered in sections and took my time but with more trial and error this Razorine could be a terrific razor. It's on a passaround from another group, so I have limited time with it. But it was a good first experience.

Have a great day!

 

Beautiful photo, Jim! I have Oleo New City as well and think the scent is terrific. It's my only Oleo soap and splash. Great software.

 

Nice shave, Aaron!

 

Great how to, Clint! The two badgers I have were set with epoxy. Fortunately I set the TGN boar with silicone. I was able to push it out of the ferrule pretty easily.

Thanks Neal, I only have one ex, that's enough.
I also don't think the ex's nick name is proper on this forum.
well anyway.....

Interesting and impressive setup, Clint!

 

We had a guy quit in us at work, so I went from 45 hours a week, to 60 hours. While the bump in pay is nice, so is sleep!
I'm too far behind to catch-up on everything, but it looks like this place is again rocking!

 

Nice shave and photo, Charlie! Enjoy your stay-in day!

 

Thank you!

 

Perry, thanks for sharing! Glad you are having fun with it!

 

Thanks, Joe!

 

Thanks Joe. We had a really nice time!

Thanks, Clint, and guilty as charged.

Thanks Jim!

I'm on the way! I'm glad you're feeling better. High blood pressure is a concern, and I'm glad you're getting it under control.

Yes, I sent you the invitation in case you might be interested. The app helps me stay focused, and I thought you might be interested in it as well. You can use it to keep track of your sodium intake if that would be helpful for your BP control. I'm not sure I'll use it to log my meals once I reach my target, but I do plan to use it for my weekly weigh-ins. I can always start logging meals again if I find myself needing to cut back.

 

Terry, I guess some things are best left unsaid.

 

Great picture, Perry! I'll be interested to hear your thoughts on the razor when you are done with it.

 

Nice shave, Aaron!

 

Thank you, Jim! The first outing was fun and I'm interested to see how it works more this week.

Please join me in some shenanigans. I have discovered through Cartel surveillance and intelligence (yes, I dare use Cartel and intelligence in the same sentence) that a certain @Drygulch turned a year older today. Yes, it's his birthday, and he received a particular gift this morning. For today, and today only, please join me in greeting Adam each time you run into him on here as "Sweater Guy".

Thank you for your kind attention.

 

Thank you, Perry!

 

Beautiful picture and great write up, Jim! The scent you describe interests me. I think Perry @PLAla picked this one up on his trip to N.Y. if IIRC.
