    Another fantastic description, Jim! I remember Adam commenting very favourably on Sun Up as well. Barrister’s Reserve Classic is another Sun Up dupe, fwiw.

    Thanks Perry!
    I'm 1800 +or -, behind....
    I'd need a helper or two, to catch up.
    So I'm just looking at all the great work here, when possible.

    Stunning shot, Doug! I have never heard of the Ingress scent. A fave?

    You are a champion enabler, Jeff. I have a couple LeResches that I’m ‘watching’. No 51s, though. A few #34s.

    After seeing what you do with razors the other 11 months, Can’t wait to see what you come up with for MayHem, Terry!

    Thanks, Terry! I’m on a 30 day MWF focus, and have had four consecutive BBS shaves with my current razor! I’m not sure if it’s the soap or the razor, as I’d shaved for the first four days with a different razor and then skipped a shave. In any case I’m really enjoying the MWF.

    Awesome pic, Evan. Did you redo that Red Tip as well?

    The 34’s as I remember are their travel razor. I don’t think it has the same head. I really didn’t mean to do this to you Jason! I’ve just been truly blown away by this 51! I’ve never had four consecutive bloodless BBS shaves with the same razor. Don’t know if it’s the razor or the continuing use of MWF, my soap focus for the month. Please remember, YMMV!

    Uh oh.....
    Never did mayhem, after the razor blade glued to the finger shaver.
    I don't stand a chance!

    Love that kit, Evan! I’m on a MWF soap focus this month, and have been having amazing shaves with it. I'm convinced that I could get away with no AS or balm. I use them because I’m a menthol fan. My skin feels awesome on the stuff! I donkt think corking does much for DEs. It’s made a difference with my Gem and AC blades, but that’s about it, of course YMMV

    It's all in the way you hold your chin.

    Keep up the good work!
    Oh and..... ride that cap!

    Great shave again, Joe with another one of your scary-looking open blade devices! ;)

    I believe the #32 is the travel razor, Jeff. The 34s I have seen look very similar to a Single Ring Old Type, fwiw.

    Jason:
    Wonderful Monobilt shave! Haven’t shaved with mine in quite some time. I may never shave with it or any of my other razors again, given my current experience. I’m going to have to check my Silversmith and my Shake Sharp 1.5 with MWF. Looking forward to seeing your resin handled brushes!

    I knew the Travel was a 30 something. Who knows, I've never shaved with one.

    You are much more knowledgeable than I on these of course, Jeff. I’m just going off the numbers that sellers put on these.

    I wouldn’t be so modest! I’m still in nasal nursery school compared to many of you guys discussing scent notes!
