    Good afternoon men!
    Just finished my shave!
    I am still using my 5/8 Wosty square point. In honor of Danny (Hembree), I am using Williams mug soap. I molested it with Noxema Classic Cleansing Cream. I have found this combo gives a nice slick, rich lather. Apply the cream on the face a preshave and then face lather Williams over it with my Rocky brush. I decided to do 3 passes of WTG, ATG, and XTG. There weren't any nicks, cuts, or irritation. This was a beautiful BBS shave. Finished with Old Spice AS.
    Result: Grade 98 = A+
    Have a nice afternoon, guys! 20190326_161103.jpg 20190326_161103.jpg

    Congrats on the 98! I think that's the highest score I've seen you give yourself.

    I'm getting curious about the Williams. I may just have to seek out a puck.

    It's like ARKO in that expressing curiosity just might get you a mailbox full. Ought to be a store near you that stocks it. A puck cost less that the postage or gas to get some.

    Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap
    EDRIO #41 Gillette English Flat Bottom Tech
    Gillette Spoiler (5)
    Stirling Boar (24mm, Frigate Class)
    Stirling Hot Apple Cider soap (RIP)
    Soap Smooth Frozen Cranberry AS

    Finished if the least little bit of my Stirling Hot Apple Cider soap today and since it didn't have much scent left I didn't mind freezing my face if with the Frozen Cranberry AS. The shave started it a bit rough on the first pass at I started ATG and the ageing Spoiler wasn't quite sharp enough to pull that off comfortably. The second pass XTG felt much better and I ended up just short of BBS. So far the EFBT is the most aggressive Tech that I've tried and I like it. Have a great day friends!

    Thanks, Danny! When I first started SR shaving, I experimented with this combo and it really worked well for me. I have extolled the virtues of it when I first joined the TSD.

    Thanks, Rick. I know our grocery store doesn't carry it. I'll check out some of the local pharmacies.
    I do have a stick of Arko en route so I can join in with some adjustable/ Arko April shaves.
    Oh, and I have an adjustable on the way too.

    Thanks Jim! I have had a few 98's, but it is rare because my standards are strict. The lowest was a rare 91, but I average a solid 94.
