You are right sir, The Elite knots are exemplary

I understand 100 percent. I am a Kentucky native and grew up with bourbon as a thirst quencher. Nothing better than some brown branch water to sip on. I had 3 Irish whiskys during the turkey break with my shaves. Well done

Decadent December!!!

December 2

Razor - 1960 (F4) Gillette Toggle
Blade - (1)
Soap - Stirling Christmas Eve
Brush - I*V10 The Moreau
Post - Alum

After taking the 1st off from shaving it's time to jump in and get the ball rolling at Cartel HQ. Starting out with the Toggle and a Sharp Star. Rare American classic and Russian steel. Unbeatable combination. I know the soap chosen isn't one of the five I picked out but I felt it was appropriate to start the month of shaves. Stirling's Christmas Eve is an very nice soap with a scent that really adds to the shave. Along with the badger/boar knot in Mesquite - I don't know how much more decadent I can get. Three passes to a glorious BBS and no blood or other issues. Alum was quiet and that makes this one extremely decadent shave!! Enjoy your Tuesday!

Injector news......

Stirling Glacial Satsuma soap
Simpson Emperor 2
Supply Injector - 2 dot plate
**NEW** Supply blades
Lucky Tiger After Shave & Face Tonic
Stirling Glacial Satsuma AS

My new blades showed up today and I had to take the test drive.
A very nice first showing in my book, but they won't catch the Prolines.
Right now, I have put them about equal with Chinese Schicks. Well above the old Supply Personnas in sharpness and smoothness.

If you prefer the Personnas over the Chicks, I can't comment.

I considered getting one of the Supply starter kits as a gift for my brother at Christmas, this new blade sealed the deal.
