    Razor: Gillette RedTip
    Blade: Voskhod (3)
    Brush: Mine
    SS: MWF
    AS: Williams Aqua Velva

    Today I noticed how nice it is not to have to concentrate on adjusting my technique for a specific razor. I've used the RedTip enough I get good results with it but I do always have to pay attention. Interesting. I'm still switching things up because I love lots of razors.

    Blood free BBS shave after 3 passes. Managed to shave in record time after getting up late, after being up late compairing watches. Thanks Charlie! @wristwatchb. I always wanted a nice watch and thankfully my wife remembered me talking about it years ago. Otherwise all of TSD would be on probation. As it was she just said, "I knew it was coming." She was surprised I made it this long.

    Oh yeah, the lather was great. MWF is awesome, all the standard stuff I say all the time. ;)

    Thank you for the kind words, Gentlemen. Just bunked out for over an hour. That seemed to help quite a bit.

    Very nice tribute shave Dale!

    Nice Perry! Might have to look at some of JR's brushes again....really like that design! Hope the day was productive at the Middle School.

    Purdy Purdy Jim! Shame that some of these soaps are not working as expected when the heat is on.....

    Thanks Jim! I was going to wait to say until after it arrived, but I'm about as good at surprises as my 7 year old.
    Thanks Jason, I ordered a bunch of round stock to make more of these brush handles. :) Not sure what I'll do with them, but making them is fun, if I can get out to my lathe. When I'm not busy, it's COLD out in my shop...

    Thanks Perry

    I ordered a Seiko SSG021. :) It's a little gadget heavy with the radio sync, solar powered, world time, chronograph, but it goes back to my seeing one a lot like it when I was a teenager. I wrestled back and forth between a childhood dream and the coolness of an automatic diver. Then I decided to get this first and start laying prep for the divers watch for Father's day or my birthday.

    Cool setup again Clint! Nice RA shave...have you already a replacement for the A&E Mojitos?

    Nice image Mark! Small world....we have almost the same hot trivet...only square (and it don't look new)!

    Great details and setup Jeff! Hope you and yours Birthdays were special! :greet002:

    Thank you, Blair! Jim’s brushes are fantastic. He’s offering your choice of one in the current TSD raffle.

    Cool watch, Evan! Congrats.
    I made a mistake with a solar powered watch I had. I put it into the box I keep my watches in. Apparently I had it in there too long. Once the battery went completely dead there was no bringing it back.
