    Thanks Clint.. I'll get the 15 picked out and post a photo. Most are real nice and a few are user grades. I am still trying to figure out where 31 Gillettes came from. :signs002:

    You have ‘street cred’ with me.

    You forgot me, there is a saying in in Korean, ‘I became cold rice’ 내가 잔밥 됐어!

    Thanks, Keith! I appreciate the kind words coming from a seasoned SR shaver. I know that I said this before, but you inspired me to purchase and use the larger blades and I am forever grateful for it because I enjoy using them.

    OK, I’m not nearly as fancy pants as you guys think. Having said that watching dusk from our upstairs deck here in late May does not suck…

    Monday shave

    Today is not a holiday so back to work for me. I always enjoyed using mentholated soaps, with SR I shave by sound, feel and sight so I gave up on menthol. Now I am trying to see which soaps that have menthol I can still use with a SR and retain enough feeling for the shave. Santa Maria Novella is fine but this Stirling soap is on the edge. Today's razor has a very smooth edge and a breeze to shave with so the soap passed the test, I will need to pick a more challenging blade next time.

    Irritation A+ Closeness A+ Smoothness A+ Sharpness A+

    Razor: Mastro Livi Gifretto
    Strop: Tony Miller
    Brush: EDBIO Shavemac silver tip
    Pre: Proraso
    Soap: Stirling
    AS: Speick AS, Stirling ASB
    Scent: Creed Tabarome Millisieme

    Moving this 10x15 foot gazebo in the morning 60 miles to the farm. Anyone want to help out? 20190519_172830.jpg When I get it up there we will give it a pressure washing once we get it set up.

    Nice, Gary!
    My wet shaving journey started with evening shaves on work nights and morning shaves on the weekends. I decided I liked starting my day with a fresh shave better than ending it with one. Worth it to me to get out of bed earlier. I've been shaving every morning for quite a while now.
