    Thanks, Joe!

    To be fair, I've used the Derby stick exactly one time. I wouldn't call anything settled yet.

    Danny, he was from the Midwest, thus at times struggled with handling the Northeast nastiness(not ALL northeasterners of course but sadly the majority tends to be on the arrogant pessimistic side).

    IMG_2279.jpg Had a very nice 3 pass shave early this morning. There has been a bit of talk about Fine soaps recently on the thread and I definitely have become a fan of the rich, quality scented lather. A long load with a barely dampened brush, following by a lengthy face-lather with lots of water added slowly makes it sing.
    The Tech continues to rock it and the Polsilver is still going well on day 4. Finishing with the Arkadia was a nice match of course. This brush has definitely reach fave status, too. A super start to the day.
    Have a great day all!

    Wowza, way to get it done Neal!
    Great shave Patrick!
    Very nice Matthew!
    Beautiful shot Jim! I like your weekday themes! I'm getting tired of using a different razor every shave though. I'm feeling like I'm not getting as good of shaves as I could be if I were sticking to the same setup for a few days to a week.
    Great shave Joe!
    Great shave Clint. I'm glad to hear the Dr visit was uneventful hopefully no news is good news!
    Great shave Joseph! Glad it was better then yesterday. 3-4 drops of M-bomb? We're you feeling masochistic?
    It'll be better tomorrow Blair!
    Beautiful shot Mark!
    awesome shave Danny, I do see the ant!

    Williams Wednesday! Of the modern persuasion. It's another puck that I should be able to finish off soon. The synthetic horsehair brush did an admirable job lathering it. Finished with Pacific Rush, which I notice is going down a lot faster than I wish it was. I really, really like this Pacific Rush splash. I do have one more bottle, then it's gone forever. :(

    Yes indeed, my Asiatic lilies are starting to bloom.

    That's what I'm doing lately, Andrew. A week or so with one razor. I do think it makes a difference for the better.

    Thanks Danny. The FW was a gift from Fuzzy @wchnu way back when I fell down that rabbit hole . You got to try SE he said . You'll like it he said . He knew full well I'd be hooked .

    Wow! How are you so lucky?

    Winter here is long johns , 2 pair socks , parka, mittens , toque , scarf, electric blanket, skidoo boots and probably more . Today its hot as heck so its white A-shirt(wife beater) and camo shorts.

    Thanks Andrew.

    Thanks, Andrew!
    I usually do short runs with each razor. I'm three and out with blades on my DE's so that's when I make the swap with them. I'll go longer with my Gem and AC razors. I'll have to see how it goes with my themes and the quality of my shaves.
