    Do what you gotta do and hop the first plane to Seoul. I know where I can hide you out in the Philliphines since you may not take to our chilly weather.

    Sunday evening March 10

    Delta Echo refurbished Gillette Fatboy on 4 / Rapira Swedish Supersteel (5)
    Simpsons CH2 Chubby Synthetic Bristles brush
    MWF/Kent in beechwood tub
    Alum and Polar Ice Booster splash

    A quick shave with the Rule gear after I got off work and before heading out for supper. Two passes got rid of the weekend stubble. I noticed some tugging on the first pass, although the alum was silent afterwards. I binned the blade and will stick with "3 shaves and out" with the Rapiras for the rest of this Rule.

    Here's a recycled photo of the gear:

    Easy shave this morning. Been too long since I've used Soap Commander and Vision is a terrific scent. Bright, minty, clean. Nice way to start the work week and the time transition.

    March 11 SOTD:

    Razor: PAA Starling V2
    Blade: Gem Stainless
    Brush: Razorock Plissoft
    Lather: CO Bigelow
    Aftershave: Proraso Green
    Additional Care:
    Stirling Unscented PSB

    This was the best shave to date with the Starling. Two passes and DFS. Really, it was a near BBS. This razor definitely needs a light touch, but when handled right, it is more than capable. It is Monday, and my week is off. I hope everyone has a great day!

    Have a great monday folks!

    My central ac is up and running today. Its great because it is already almost 90f here during the day. Today's mission is probably to trim the kitchen, or take a day off. Not 100% what way i will go.
