    Good morning, fellas!
    Rockwell Model T(6)
    Rockwell DE (5?)
    Rockwell Synthetic Brush
    Stirling Sandalwood SS and AS
    Nivea ASB
    I decided to end this month with a can't miss bang out shave. Everything worked so well. Rocky whipped up a great Stirling lather. As a side note, I like synthetic brushes because they produce lathers very quickly. They are great when time is of the essence. I zm going to work today so it came in handy. On 38 hr growth, the Model T performed like a champ! With 2 passes, a blooodless and irritation-free BBS shave was achieved. Finished with the matching AS and Nivea balm. Have a nice day, guys! 20200130_215325.jpg 20200130_215325.jpg

    Congrats Chris. I think you will be pleased with it. Bill Yao at MKII makes excellent watches, and he's a super guy as well. Wear it for many years in good health.

    Excuse me while I step out to put another notch in my shave brush handle. Who's next? ;)

    Congrats on the Enoch. It does not feel as likely to bit as the Cobra. I found almost riding the bar works better than riding the cap if that makes sense.

    It's hard to believe the month is over already. The MdC Vetyver is one of my favorite scents. It is not quite as intense as the Mike's Vetiver but still as that earthy smokey that seems to go so well with a messy raining morning we are having today. Three passes and touch ups ended in another BBS shave. I really enjoy using this razor. A splash of Fine Fresh Vetiver and a spritz of Guerlain Vetiver EdT and I am off to my office today. I hope everyone has a great Friday.

    January 2020 Recap

    [​IMG]​

    I have really enjoyed the month of January. I was able to try out a couple of new AC razors, the Enoch and Hiram as well as revisit the Supply CO SE. I did throw in a couple of DE shaves so the month was not completely SE razors. I was able to finish the Stirling R4L soap and have another soap on the way out. As usual the best part of the month was following along in the thread. The friendship exhibited here really is special. I look forward to participating next month. See you in the February 30DC.

    Hey all!
    Just to let you know....
    The other day, I tried a razor that I hadn't used since last year around this time. It didn't work very well, uh, well not at all. I tried to use it, I really did, to no avail.
    20200131_075836.jpg
    I try to use this thing once a year, just to remind myself just why I now shave with what I do.
    Yes, it's a Bic off the shelf buy 'em at wally world razor. I could never use a dual bladed thing, they would pull out the hairs, rather than cut them off. Years and years I struggled with one of these, till......
    Now thats all changed!
    Thanks everyone!
