    Wednesday morning March 20 - Rule shave #10

    Delta Echo refurbished Gillette Fatboy on 4 / Rapira Swedish Supersteel (3)
    Simpsons CH2 Chubby Synthetic Bristles brush
    MWF/Kent in beechwood tub
    Alum and Polar Ice Booster splash

    By now the results are completely consistent every time. Two good passes to a DFS as usual. Blade felt a tiny bit tuggy as these Rapiras seem to get on the third shave, so it went into the blade bank to be replaced by a fresh one tomorrow. The Rapiras are sharp and quite smooth but don't seem to stay that way as long as some others do. Mind you, at even three shaves a blade, I have at least a decade to go before I will ever need to worry about running short of DE steel...

    Apologies in advance for the Shavette Fu:
    The Cool is just an awesome scent, Jim. My favourite Reserve scent for sure.
    I hope you get good news on the shoulder today, Terry. I’m sure @John Ruschmeyer will reply to this post- he is our resident Tech expert.
    Very nice pic and write up, Joseph. It sounds like you have become a honemeister already. I have added Vintage Brut to my list of Antique store ‘hope fors’...
    Great sounding shave, Robert! I’m still digging that great table as well.
    Stunning combo and locale, Clint!
    I trust this trip will end soon, Brian!
    Ok, now I’m jealous! I won’t hold out too much longer, I fear.
    Agree on Rapira products, John, but I do like the Swedish Supersteels for a few days for sure.

    Jason....just go ahead and bite the bullet. You will not be disappointed. Oh no...........I have turned into an enabler! ;) If this razor shaves half as good as it looks it will be a winner for sure. The machine work and detail is amazing.

    Congratulations Joe, the larger razors can actually be easier to use because of the smile they can have.

    I really like all the Reserve scents, the lone exception is Classic. It's just ok.
