    Thank you Gary! Yours was no slouch either. Is that the DE you were seeking end caps to complete?
    After reading @BBS's US Gillette Aristocrat TTO timeline thread, I'm not sure mine is a '46-'47 but a crossover '48.

    I saw Joanna had made it available on the bay. I've been slow to adopt mentholated products though I do enjoy a couple. Next time I refill on Florida Water I just might do M-Bomb, too.

    I need one of those! Preferably in my office...
    You travelled in style, Jim. Great combo. Welcome home!
    That Toggle is a beaut for sure, Neal. Speaking of that razor, we haven't heard from @Drygulch in awhile...
    What a stunning 'gold' combo, Gary. Top shelf for sure!
    +1 for m-bomb, Rick!
    9 shaves left, John! You must be on the countdown for sure.

    NCoxSTL AAACK!

    Adam has been buried with work and family the past several weeks. I don't know all the details but do know it's been a crazy time for him. He's also travelling at the moment and not for fun, I do know that. I'm sure he'll fill everyone in when things clam down.

    Todays shave was the first shave where i used Dave's croap and aftershave, and they are absolutely fantastic!!!!!! The menthol on that aftershave is top notch!!!!!!!!!
    The review for his aftershave has now been posted in the aftershave section, and the soap one in the soap section, the balm one will be coming in a week or two once winter begins to hit, thats when i go crazy with the balms!

    Razor: Jagen David E01
    Blade: feather hi-stainless (11)
    Soap: Daves croap soap
    Aftershave: Daves aftershave.

    (Excuse the lack of arko, i have arko sticks which i will use in the challenge shortly, im also recieving a PIF from a good friend in the UK with the Arko puck inside)

    I was playing around with the Fatip as its dodgy blade alignment yesterday and was just about ready to return the razor for a refund. I then reminded myself that for £20 shipped, this was the only razor (to date) that has provided me with a BBS result on cheeks, chin and jawline without any buffing and overshaving (in fact, it's the only razor that has got my chin perfectly smooth)!

    On these merits I am going to put aside my small gripe because the blade does align if I take the time to get it there... It's not as if it is incapable of getting to that point. Roll on this evening's shave! Oh, I also have some Gillette 7 o'clock yellows on the way - I have heard that these are comparable in sharpness to Feather, but are a little smoother and longer lasting. We shall see!

    Thank you, Jim! It is new; you know how it goes needing to add a few things to get free shipping. Since it had been a while since I actually shaved and I was tired, I didn't comment on it much. I will do so next time.

    Thank you, Andrew! It was my first shave with Harvest Moon.

    Nice picture, Gary!

    Thank you, Jason!

    Great picture, Patrick!

    This is strange, Rick. Bought the EXACT same size bottle September 22, 2016. I say we take a poll...

    Except, this is what happens to normal noses when exposed to Arko for extended periods of time...

    April 4th
    Razor: Gillette Slim L1(9)
    Blade: Permasharp (3)
    Brush: Grizzly Bay MaxFury
    Pre-shave: Stirling Mentholated
    Soap: A&E L'Orange Verte
    Stirling Orange Chill witch hazel
    PAA Star Jelly unscented
    AS: A&E L'Orange Verte


    Good morning!

    Another great shave to start the day! Three passes with quick touch up for near BBS result.

    It takes me twenty minutes from when I first wet my face to apply my pre shave soap till I have my scuttle and other gear dry and put away. That's my usual relaxed morning shave routine.

    Have a great day![​IMG]

    Great shaves fellas, didn't get back from Miami until around 12 am, no shave yesterday. On Tuesday I did find out my wife can't handle my sterling gent right now, she has that pregnant super nose going on. So for now it will be shelved along with the Gatlinburg, nag champa, and frankincense. Oh well, so I picked up some of the Gillette pure to try, and am going to make me a sterling order.
