    :happy097::happy097: You'll make it. At least you're not taking them for face masks etc. Your work is just about done.

    That’s it! Comes in that nice leather case! I’ll be very interested in what you think of the shave compared to your aluminum one! Ruds thought the weight of the SS provided a closer shave, since there was no need to apply pressure, even if very minimal.

    12 14-year old girls? Doesn't homeland security categorize that as a Threat Level Red situation?

    You must love that daughter of yours ;)

    By the time the younger one was a teenager it was a weekly thing to have 4 or 5 girls here for a sleepover on a weekly basis. I guess loosing my hearing as I got older helped. :D

    Or at the very least a sympathizer--in about 30 minutes I'll be on the bench next to you awaiting my hearing in the witch-trials. The blade is loaded and ready to go. :)

    That is the exact amount it takes to feed my family... provided there are sides as well. That actually looks like a pretty good dinner idea for tonight :D

    Good afternoon guys!
    Headshave (This Morning)
    Rockwell Model T(6)
    Rockwell Blade (1)
    Cremo Sandalwood SC (not pictured)
    Clubman Lilac Veg (not pictuted)
    Nivea ASB
    I really like using Cremo for headshaves because it is so easy to use and it is very slick. To be honest, I would use it for face shaves, but I like the shaving soap scents in my den. The Model T at max always gives me a BBS headshave with three passes and very minor touchups. Today's shave was no exception. Did manage to get a weep on my left side, but no biggie. I wasn't surprised because I was using a new blade and haven't headshaved in 3 days. Applied the Veg and then the Nivea to top this shave.

    Face Shave (This afternoon)
    Rockwell Model T (6)
    Rockwell Blade (2)
    Semogue OC Super Badger
    Stirling Blood on Steel SS and AS
    Nivea ASB
    I really didn't have to shave my 31 hour stubble, but I am going out tonight so a shave is in order.
    The Semogue made a nice and slick lather to prep my face. I have grown to like this brush, however, it still hogs the lather and the soap is always pushed to the base of the knot. I just don't like to scoop the soap to bring it to the top of the brush. Anyway, two passes and minor touchups gave me a BBS shave. Did get 2 tiny weeps, but no biggie. I like the scent of BoS from the soap and the aftershave. I only use it for social gatherings or if I just need to put a smile on my face. Finished with the Nivea ASB. May the rest of your Saturday be great, gents! 20200222_154237.jpg 20200222_154237.jpg

    Looks good, Patrick! Making me hungry!
    Locked and loaded with a fresh Feather for tomorrow's shave.
    I get the same results from all my razors, if I don't I'll stick with that razor until I figure it out.
    Thanks Tim!

    Fantastic sounding shaves, Joe (head and face)! I really enjoyed the scent of Blood on Steel/Tsuka--I was a lot less discerning about where or when I wore it. ;)

    Charlie, that's a fantastic shavette shave because you haven't used your Parker in many months! I wouldn't worry about the time right now, just getting nice and comfortable shaves is the most important thing. Efficiency will come later.
