    Fantastic photo and lineup Jason. Mark almost talked me into ordering Stirling G&T and Margaritas just yesterday.

    Danny- L’Orange Noir is Fine’s take on Terre d’Hermes. I have it in soap form, others on here have it in a splash. This is too basic, but think Smoky Orange. One of my faves.
    Fine is a quality triple-milled puck, imo. It took me a bit to figure it out and get it dialed in, but it is a consistent performer with some nice dupes of well-known scents in general.
    PS- if you do get a Fine soap, do not pay extra for the tub. Put it in a different container, and save yourself the small tub loading headache.

    Neutrogena Men's Face Scrub
    Proraso PreShave Green
    Feather AC DX (Kamisori style)
    Feather Pro Guard (5)
    Drake Badger
    WK Fougere Bouquet SS
    WK Fougere Bouquet AS

    Most MAYhem shave you'll see from me. Since I've started open edge shaving, I'm intrigued by the Kamisori style razors. Thought, hey....the Feather DX is the same thing if the pearl scales are removed...

    2.5 pass, DFS shave most everywhere, but a CCS on the ever troublesome lower right neck. Weight and size of just the blade holder/handle part of the Feather DX was quite fun and comfortable to use. Both hands, front side, back side, all sorts of angles, WTG/XTG....it just did and went where I wanted. My next razor purchase will be a Kamisori style straight razor.

    Drake Badger and WK...just a super combination. I'll have to look into more WK combinations, it rinses off the tools very clean, and has a great after shave feel for me. Fougere Bouquet from WK is my second favorite aroma. Face lathered today over Menthol Proraso...no coffee needed, between the potent menthol coolness (smell and skin sensation). Finished with the WK Fougere Bouquet AS and not a single weeper.

    Happy Thursday everyone!

    Not shave related but a thought y'all might find this interesting. My son had his two horses teeth "floated" yesterday after work. You sedate the horse and put their head in this harness and grind away the sharp edges. This is normally done about once a year. 20190515_182951.jpg

    Great shave Jason and I love the Schick. You do not see many with blue handles.

    Jason, Thanks for the info. The Smoky Orange scent sounds nice. For some reason I have been leaning toward my Razorock WTP soaps lately which are triple milled and was I wanting to add a few more milled soaps.

    Blair, Awesome looking shave! Love how the brush and soap match. That brush is a looker. Interesting take down on the DX. It would be nice if you wrap some twine or nice string around the handle for a little extra grip.

    Thank you Danny. It’s an efficient combo but does have a very narrow sweet spot.

    If I was thinking of another DE razor....the Fatip Piccolo has always been on my 'list'. Great shave and image (but where's the Barber's face :D, I always grin when I see that Stirling label)!

    The biggest problem with being in the U.S......you can't get (or I haven't found) the Proraso Red AS in that size (like available across the pond). Nice straight, liking the scales and blade etching detail!
