    Your band should dedicate a song to Wilson at the concert. (Did I say that???????)

    Very nice, Daniel. If you like the Russian Gillettes, and do want a sharper one, I'd recommend both Nacets and Polsilvers. Nacets are inexpensive, Polsilvers not so much.

    Truly an amazing pic and set up, Blair. Did you buy that brush to match that razor?

    A great looking Menthol Monday combo, Danny. You are amassing a fine collection of ATT options.

    Yup, not only are those Fine containers ridiculous, they have now decided to only sell their pucks in those tubs. You used to be able to save a few bucks and just get the puck and now I just consider the puck $2 more as I'll pitch the tub. An excellent product at least.

    Love the look of that razor, Gary. Take that one out to your balcony again for a few more pics...

    That razor looks pretty cool, Ken. Obviously a Darwin dupe handle, but is the head a copy of a Darwin as well?

    Not sure if anyone has answered this yet, Perry, but I believe they are available at West Coast Shaving. The scents are very unique, but what separates them from many others, IMHO, is the prolonged soft face feel. Really a good product.

    Thanks! I'll look at them, but I should move or finish something first, I guess.

    It's hard to do something with kids on weeknights. I'm sure you will all have a blast on Saturday!

    Maya will be home for the full break. Asha will be home on the 18th and return on the 30th. She needs all the practicum hours she can get in order to graduate on time.

    Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap
    RazoRock SS DLC Lupo VS RazoRock Al Lupo
    Permasharp Stainless x2
    30DCLE brush (26mm, Frigate Class)
    Dry Dock lather bowl
    Stirling Royal soap and AS

    This week I will be comparing the RazoRock SS and Al Lupo razors. Both razors are loaded with a brand new Permasharp Stainless. These razors feature a thin line profile head with positive blade exposure and a good bit of blade reveal. On the first pass I preferred the SS Lupo as the Al wanted to skip a little over the heavier beard growth. On the second and third pass I preferred the Al Lupo as it made it easier to keep a light touch. Both razors were identical in regard to blade feel and glide. I thought I would find the DLC coating on the SS Lupo to be smoothed and offer less drag but I didn't really notice any difference, of coursei had a super slick Stirling lather going. These razors are incredibly efficient. They are able to almost pull off a two pass BBS with a medium amount of blade feel. Next two shaves I will try a couple of different handles on the Al Lupo to see how it feels with a little more weight behind it. Have a great day my friends!
