    Proraso PS Red
    WK King of Oud SS
    Drake 2 Band Badger
    Feather AC DX (kamisori style)
    Feather Pro Soft Guard
    Gentleman Jon Alum
    AoS Oud Suede Cologne

    Anti classic shave....back with the Feather handle today. First time using the Feather Pro Soft Guard blade (from a sampler pack). DFS+ all around with 2.5 passes. Went a little too far south on a N-S swipe on lower right neck, and caught some blade rash. Alum took care of it easily.

    WK performance was incredible, love the way it lathers and leaves the face feeling. The Drake is a lather monster, it's amazing how much it holds.

    The AoS Oud Suede, wifey top 3 favorite. We have a family outing today. Going to see the Aladin 2019 version with Will Smith. A little bit jaded, trying not to be, but the Aladin version with Robin Williams.....one of the best performances (and kid movies) ever. That version the girls would watch nearly endlessly when we'd let them.

    Fellow light chasers....image lit with single light source. Flashlight. Captured on iPhone. FIPS'd for cropping & slight color punch only.

    Stunning picture, Blair!
    King of Oud is my favorite WK scent of the ones I have.

    That is saying alot coming from shave master Joe. Sounds like Mr. T is AWESOME! Congratulations on a great razor and is sounds like the 8 month wait was worth it.

    Yes, I was one of them! Was it worth their bogus updates and not making announced schedules. Yes and no. The razor is beautiful and thus far, performs well. I wish getting this razor was less of a hassle and frustrating.

    Thank You Jim! Love the images you put together also. The one of the blue tip....really nice! Makes me want to expand the collection of Gillette DEs I have, but wanting SRs just a little more. And the WK products....I'm a big fan.

    Thanks Danny!

    Thanks Clint! Your images of the Shiloh products past few days.....awesome & enabling, but restraint prevailing (so far). BAD/SAD/RAD has already made the wallet scream loudly for the month of May & June. Den clearing soon!

    Wifey loves going to movies. A nice break for the day!
