    Thank you Jim. The black background is my home computer desk.

    She really shouldn't have brought back so much but I am happy she likes this hobby. She certainly supports it more than motorcycles or guns which she more or less tolerated.

    Thank you Danny. I bought the Alpha 400 replica thinking it would not have to be polished. Being picky, I just had to polish it up which took entirely too long. I am sort of over metal handle brushes for the time being.

    Pulled out the E3 for the very scientific reason of ‘I felt like it’. Grabbed one of my large Omegas (@clint64- this one is less uniform than my others. Super soft tips, though), whipped up a nice lather with one of my faves for scent and performance and had a super, smooth 3 pass’er this morning. Off to an early meeting an hour away.
    Have a great day, all!

    Excellent review, Clint! The only surprising part for me was the 5/10 scent strength. I find my SV soaps are quite strongly scented.
    The brush is a winner as well!

    Excellent photo Jason. I love the warm tones. The knot looks like it was hand matched perfectly compared to mine. I have never seen anything like it.

    Thank you Jason. As a point of reference I would say that all my SV soaps are 5-6/10 on scent strength. This might help put it prospective better.

    Good morning, guys!

    Personna Hairshaper (1)
    Rockwell Synthetic Brush
    Stirling Satsuma SS and AS
    Bloomed the soap and Rocky did an amazing job lathering my face. I believe it was one of my best lathers. It was slick, shiny, cushiony and quite a sight to behold! I could have done one pass for a DFS+(IBSS), but that's not good enough for me. Did my normal 2.5 passes and it was an excellent, comfortable shave. Applied the Satsuma aftershave and I was happy with another super shave in the books.
    Have a great day guys! 20190710_085348.jpg 20190710_085348.jpg

    Thanks, Clint. Interesting comments on your Omega. My other one I've kept (pic below) is basically completely uniform, especially in comparison to this other one from today:
