    OK, is Stevie Ray Vaughan not Blues enough for you? How about Billy Gibbons? And, when done well, I am pretty certain that no meat surpasses brisket cooked low and slow.

    Terrific picture and report, Clint!
    I only got four shaves out of my Feather Professional. I normally get six shaves before I notice a dropoff. I'll get the Enoch back in the rotation soon. Probably with a Proline.
    Great shave, Evan!

    January 4 SOTD:

    Razor: PAA Ascension SS
    Blade: Astra SP
    Brush: PAA The Solar Flare
    Lather: PAA First Day
    Aftershave: PAA First Day

    So I couldn't resist this soap when I saw it, but it surprised me a bit when I first got it. Off the puck, it smells very similar to Malbolge, but when lathered it changes completely. The raspberry really pops put followed by a hint of citrus and some florals. After a while, the leather makes an appearance with some nice Vanilla. The longer I wear this the better I like it. It is a nice scent, although it probably doesn't make my favorite PAA scents list. I hope everyone has a great day!

    Thanks, Jim! I was joking with @Trigger that the Spadson is so aggressive it’s practically hostile! I needed all the techniques learned here and in my own experience to avoid its bite, yet it still got me once.

    Thank you, Jeff. This CK6 is a great soap base, and this was a nice scent.

    Sorry! I really like it! It’s an effortless all-around dome and face shaver for me. It’s got a wide sweet spot, and is very forgiving of my arthritic hands and shoulders.
