    Danny, nice first run with the kami. I think you'll prefer using Feather AC blades. Skip the Pro Guards and go directly to the Supers or the Super Pro's. I'm glad you caught the problem with the loose pin before it caused a problem. It should shave fine with practice and with Feather blades.

    Have a blessed Easter!

    You as well, Jim. How is the new job going? Do you have any more project related trips planned? I worked on capital project team once and had a blast. I hope you're having fun as well.

    Absolutely, it is my favorite finishing/ touch up stone. I have tried a Naniwa 12k, Gokyumo 20k and Zulu Grey, the Shapton is my winner.

    I bought it three years ago but I bought it used. The knot is wonderful.

    Razor: Gillette Slim Adjustable (K4) 1965
    Blade: Personna 74 Tungsten Steel (13)
    Brush: Shavemac ATG LE. The Rowl w/ 2 Band
    Soap: Nuàvia Nera
    A/S: Fine Platinum.
    Bowl: 3 D Printer White by Tom White (@twhite)

    The shave with he Gillette Slim Adjustable went great today. The Shavemac 2 Band worked perfectly and a Fine Platinum aftershave was the perfect finish.
    The spring run off is in full swing. Happy Easter everyone.

    A cold wet morning here in North Atlanta. The big boar brush tore through what little remained of the MW Vetiver and Oakmoss soap. I had to reach for the Stirling R4L to have enough soap for a shave.

    Three passes and touch ups with the Slim on 9 left me with a near perfect shave. Maya came home for Easter so I am going to spend the day with her. I hope everyone has a great Saturday.

    Way to go Charlie!

    I figure 2 things.

    1) Next ride with the SRX should be in the new house

    2) You are actually a closet Clubman fan, but the President of the new Homeowners Assn is not and has seen to it that a moratorium on Clubman be in place.

    What a Hoity Toity neighborhood.
    I bet Randy is allowed to have Clubman.

    Happy Resurrection Day
