    Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap
    EDRIO #84 Schick Injector E2 Prototype
    Schick Injector blade (2)
    30DCLE (26MM, Frigate Class)
    JoHS Blood on Steel soap and AS

    Nirvana shave today and a great way to start the day. Shaved after my shower this morning and man did that extra prep help the blade slice through the whiskers. The E2 is fantastically aggressive and this prototype is even just a touch more. Used the Jeeves BoS and the original 30DCLE brush in honor of the crew and the second annual meet! Great scent and fantastic soap. Can't wait to try the new Stirling Version. Have a great day my friends!

    IMG_2311.jpg Went back to a basics focus with the E3 this morning. Maybe not so basic for software, I suppose. Shave was going fantastically- it is well documented what I think of this soap, and the razor was doing its usual great job. Then I pulled a bonehead maneuver, did the anti-rookie thing of being too nonchalant, and sliced myself on a putdown doing touchups around my mouth on the last pass. Got a cut about 3/4". Lovely. Haven't had a slice like this that didn't involve the CJB.
    Have a great day, all!

  19. Let's see... for yesterday, I went with a Schick L1 and Japanese Twin blade. Today was an early day, so no shave.

    Glade to hear that the GetTogether went well. Sorry I couldn't be there...

  20. Pretty picture, Jason!
    Too bad about the slice. I got myself yesterday with the CJB while getting fiddly with the clean up.
