    Thanks, Jason! I really like the vintage style and the matching colors to my C-Mon scales.

    Marzipan Monday: Cella, Thäter 2 band, Cobra Classic and Derby. The Feather Pro blade was only on its second use but it was rough and tugged. It was binned after the shave. I think this is why the shave left me a little irritated even though I skipped my usual 4th pass.

    Tuesday - back to straights. @Hembree Danny inspired this shave, it is my John Cash Man in Black Shave. The Atlas is 6/8 JWest with a near wedge grind. I have struggled to get this honed to my liking, I struggle with heavy grinds like this razor. It is fresh off the stones and had a nice edge.... not quite where I want it but very shaveable.

    Tobacco Tuesday

    Good morning!

    Excellent shave to start the day! Three passes for near BBS. Just a tickle from the alum.

    Have a great day![​IMG]

    Good Tuesday morning everyone!
    A wet morning in the woods, a little chilly but ok. Looks like I'm gonna have to wait for the water to go down to get to work.
    Anyway...
    Got out the MMOC with a new desplined blade. Now I like this shave, and, I'm close as ever. The only razor blade combo that's close is my RR Blackhawk with a Feather Pro blade, it's just a tad better than the GEM.
    A little over confident today, not quite on my game. Got a weeper on the side of my chin, nothing bad, but there it is. I can't go as fast with this combo, yet. 2 passes and a clean up left both the head and face very clean and smooth. I'll take my time tomorrow, till I get this baby tamer.

    Everything else worked the same, as expected.
    Another blade, another shave!
    Not much time to read the posts, although there is some great things happening with shaving and the people here. I look at things while walking down the hall, or taking a break while eating.
    Life is good here, hope everyone has the same.
    All
    Enjoy!

    I'm very glad to hear that Jennifer is OK, Neal. Please give her a big hug from Kathy and me.

    Good idea to finish the day with a relaxing and decadent shave!
