  1. Yes they are. I think La Toja and LEA shave sticks and cream will be readily available. I will certainly pick up some.

  2. Me too. I generally get the same results regardless of razor as well. It just comes down to what I like to use at the time.

  11. No I didn’t get that. Local police are following up with the people that stopped to recover the money. Police say they will bring charges against people that don’t turn it in voluntarily.

  16. Behind again... :)

    Let's see... Tuesday was the Nacet OC Tech and X3 Spoiler. It's an interesting combo if only because both pieces are very close in age. A touch aggressive, but not unreasonable. I really need to spend some time with this razor.

    Today was the British FB Tech and the same Spoiler (now on its third shave). I tend to forget how much I love this razor and how it seems to just magically erase the whiskers with nary a hint of a blade.

    My soap choice continues to be the mystery cup o'soap bits lathered with the Razorock Plissoft 22. I need to post some pics, but I recently obtained a vintage Badger brush and want to give it a go soon.

    Hope you are all having a good day.

    RazoRock 400 Noir Plissoft Synthetic Shaving Brush
    Timeless Lathering Bowl
    RazoRock WTP Orange Sunrise
    D. Corrado, Inc Razor -Rebranded Merkur 11C
    Feather Blade
    Durham Dorest w/ Craftsman Carpet Blade
    Nivea Post Balm
    Pinaud Clubman Virgin Island Bay Rum

    Started out with the Durham on the cheeks. Very tugging so I swapped edges on the blade. I had stropped one edge on some newspapers but I really could not tell any difference. Stropped edge was still tuggy. I will have to regroup on the blades for Durham. I really like the Dorset and would like to make this work. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Finished the shave with the Corrado and I can honestly say that this little razor is coming on in there. Very nice comfortable shave with not a weeper or nick in sight. Two passes and a few touch ups produced a very close shave.

    Finished the shave off with some Nivea post balm and a little bay rum courtesy of Mr. Pinaud. The face may not be pretty but it is feeling GOOD!

    Y’all have a great day!
