I would continue experimenting until the end, but for me it's not about the perfect shave. It's more about the cool toys. The real question is, does it bring you joy?
Wonderful pic, kit and shave report, Joseph! How can you identify the tallow version of Williams on the Bay?

Thanks, Evan! Appreciate your perspective! That’s my thought as well. I love the hardware more than the software! And I really love the process!
A few catch up comments: @myles wilson - I hope you are feeling better, my friend. Kudos on getting the Aristocrat. You will enjoy great shaves from this razor for decades (peach fuzz to white hair ) before you pass it down to your kids or grand kids. This razor will have a story worth telling. @9nein9 - I hope your sweet daughter continues to improve. Did you both finally get some rest? Snow!?! Me not likey. Me likely wearing old man pants running around in Florida. @clint64 - Congrats on taming the beast! The Rex is a beauty. @jtspartan - I used my 2019 30 DC LE brush the whole time I was traveling. With the synth knot, it made for an incredible and most perfect travel brush. I proudly own two of your custom brushes, and they have become permanent and proud fixtures in my den. Thank you, my friend, for your willingness to share your talents with me and my 30 DC brothers. @Bama Samurai - I'm excited that you're back with us! Keep the video updates coming! Thanks for checking on @RyX and letting us know he is OK. @Linuxguile - I love seeing the weekly pix of your sweet boys as they grow up all too quickly. Keep 'em coming - the pix and the kids! New and recent members - all I can say is WOW. I don't know how we managed without you. You guys are fixtures per Cartel Edict BUYMOREWATCHES. I comment infrequently and sporadically on individual SOTD's, and I've been woefully absent posting mine. I have been following along, and you all continue to impress me with your commitment, desire to learn more and help others, and your mastery and presentation of flat-out cool gear. My Weber focus will continue until @timabababaluka tells me it's time to grab our shavettes. Tim, I plan to accompany you on your shavette focus as long as you're willing to go. I've completed several extended shavette foci (see what I did there? ) in the past, and they become quite fun once you get in the groove. I will reserve a day here and there for DE shaves for various reasons. Have a great Wednesday, fine gentlemen of the 30DC!
February 12th Schick E3 SynBad / Poculi Fine L’Orange Noir Thayers Stirling Arkadia Everything worked as it should with this fave combo this morning. Blade is getting dull and I need to remember to change it for next time, though. 3 passes to almost total smoothness. Have a great day all!
Thank you, Jeff! This razor is definitely different than my others. It shaves very well, it is very heavy, and the noise is completely different than anything I have everything shaved with.
Thank you, Jeff! I hope you continue to heal up. Between your fall and the injury to your finger tip, you've had a rough stretch. I stand by my advice to continue cooking for your sweet bride. I hope you receive favorable news from your hand surgeon. Pictures and reports of all those fancy razors combined casual references to French eBay and the unnamed seller are not appreciated. Please continue.
