    It's like treading water, I'm just keeping my nose above water. Still 40+ post behind!
    Be sure you get the top cap turned the correct way. It's a 50/50 chance unless you know the trick. They are good blade holders and perform as good as the Originals from my reading.
    If Fuzzy hadn't answered yet, yes. If not made by Clubman, Lustray is sold from their website. This is the less expensive product line and includes Osage Rub.
    That's odd. It's supposed to let them through so us Mod's can get a peak before you get the bannination. Just kidding. I'm not aware of any content filter except for the after the fact Report Button, or that one that Charlie @wristwatchb uses (The Jester/Gentleman Filter;)).

    I'm using Tapatalk so that may be where the filter is. Just odd I can load the same picture in color. I just tried it again and I get "this is an adult image" and "upload failed".

    Every time you post a photo of your decanted Special Reserve I have the same question. Why is it red? Mine's greenish.

    Palmolive is good in it's own way. Great lather and a mild unusual scent that I can't describe. Arko has to be the King of easy lathering and if you have oily skin it could be advantageous. Williams has the slickness as long as you invest the time to quit trying to make lather and just paint it on.
    There are a couple other shave stick products I haven't tried. LaToja and Wilkinson Sword. For those susceptible to enabling, Tabac also comes in stick packaging.

    I use it too, but don't recall trying to upload a B&W image. Out of curiosity I downloaded you color image, grayscaled it, and did a Google Image Search. I won't say nothing risque appeared, but you'd have to scroll down a ways to find anything overtly sexual.
    The original color photo with the Semogue Mistura ivory handle and brush fibers is near flesh tone with fur...
    (How many of you are contemplating scrolling back to see?
    Here's a shortcut. ;))

    Cap alignment.gif
    On the tray/base plate (A) my Ming Shi 2000s has two little dimples or dots. I face them away from me with the blade in place. On the cap (B) is a raised bump that make it easier to pop the top off - that goes opposite the dots/dimples. Installing the cap I keep the thumb bump towards me.

    Some users report blade alignment issues when done the other way.

    I am getting ready for the warm weather. I made my second Stirling order. I purchased Coconut and Lime, Glastonbury and Satsuma shaving soap and their matching aftershaves. I have enough soap to last me for a long time.
