Thank you Perry. I was extremely lazy this weekend. Taking the SOTD photos for the week might have been my only productive accomplishment.

Interesting shave this morning. Back to the Floating Head and whipped up a good lather from this soap that is finally giving up the ghost. Next shave will be the last one for it. The 3 passer was going smoothly until the last few buffing strokes on the ATG pass on my neck. Then...wham...wham... (or should I say slice...slice...) No idea what happened, but I have 2 parallel 1/2" cuts on my lower neck. Actually contemplated taking pics of these trophies of my stupidity, but decided all of you may not have had breakfast yet. Very weird and I have no reason why it happened besides being completely careless with a razor that deserves more attention from beginning to end. Besides that, the shave was excellent- smooth until that point and I am quite close. Anyway, I'm off to work looking like I picked up and hugged an alley cat.
Have a great day all!

Good morning, fellas!
Jones Shake Sharp Razor
2 Rockwell DE Blades (2)
Omega Pro 49 Brush
Stirling Glastonbury SS and AS
Nivea ASB not pictured
Omega 49 and the Stirling Glastonbury produced a nice wet facelather. Although this is my only Omega boar, I have to say this is quite a remarkable brush and it was under $10. This is my second shave with the shake sharp razor, but it is my first face shave. Two passes gave me a BBS without nicks, cuts, weeps or irritation. Finished with the matching aftershave and Nivea balm.

Jones Shake Sharp Critique

Pros: 1. Efficiency is good.
2. Easy to find the shave angle.
3. Mid-Range in Aggressiveness
4. Gold plating is excellent
5. Difficult to nick yourself

Cons : 1. Too much buffing is required
to get a nice shave.
2: Extra time is needed due to
buffing.
3. Knurling is non-existent, but I
didn't feel like the razor
would slip out of my hand.
4. Loading 2 blades can be
difficult because the posts
are not high enough.
5. The handle is short, so it
may be a problem with big
handed shavers.

Final Thoughts:
I am glad that @jgreenepa, Jeff, gifted me this razor. It is a nice addition to my den. It is a very easy razor to use and it does a fine job. I will mainly use it for headshaving because I believe it will not give me any cuts.
Have a nice day, guys!
