    Enjoy your evening Jason!

    Thanks Charlie! They are all camped out in living room.
    You could possibly have a bad razor Tim . Dont worry , you'll get this figured out !

    Poutine ??? Oh I wish. Had everything to make it with too.

    NCoxSTL AAACK!

    I'm not sure that he's wearing a skirt. Depends on what's under it. If there's anything under it then, yes, it's a skirt. Otherwise, he's a Scottish alien in his kilt!

    Something a bit humorous about having so many ladies dressed in 1920's attire - there was a theme going around about the difficulty in the "poweder room". Seems all the beads are a bit of a hassle when trying to, ummm...."powder their noses".

    Thanks, Charlie! And darn it... you're making sense. My goal is to get down to 3 razors (shavette included), and the one razor that should be easiest to let go of, you got wanting to keep :happy102:

    Awesome shave and report, Bill--I feel all relaxed just reading. That's one of the great things about the 30DC thread: even on days when things don't go great, you get to read about shaves that did. :D

    I, for one, think you make some perfectly cromulent points.

    Razor - 1959 (E4) Gillette Super Speed
    Blade - rapira-platinum-lux.jpg (3)
    Soap - Soap Commander Courage
    Brush - Stirling Pro Style Synthetic
    Post - Alum

    Saturday evening and I have one shave left to make three on the Super Speed with Rapira PL. It's also a Soap Commander night. Getting closer to having this one gone. The ring of death is definitely receding further but it keeps producing copious amounts of lather! With the big Stirling synthetic I could have made enough lather to wash an entire house! Three full passes and all's well! BBS finish and I'm settled back in after yesterday's detour. Chances are I'll pick up the 1918 with Carbon Silver from Treet and give it a couple more runs over the next few days.

    Hope you had a great Saturday and have an even better Sunday!!

    Thanks, Gary! And there we go again with folks making very reasonable suggestions when I'm trying to impulsively throw everything out. :happy102:

    Thanks, Patrick! Odds are stacked more in favor of me being the problem, but I'm not ruling the possibility out. ;)

    Nice shave Neal!

    Shake it off and move on Tim. Put that razor down for awhile and get ready for March. We got your back all the way!

    Hi all, slept most of the day, I got hit with the stomach bug last night at work, whamo! Pushed through it.
    Was gonna make it a "rare" no shave day.
    The wife rubbed my face and "oh, your scratchy", well..... yea!
    I didn't shave this morning.

    I needed a good shower first, been drinking orange gator-aid today.
    Seemed that orange was the flavor of the day, grabbed the Stirling Orange Chill bar soap, that set the stage.
    I also needed a good, nice, razor blade combo that wouldn't try me, but do a good job and was in my drying mug.

    Ok, the drying mug is where I put a razor after using it, before I put it away.
    Apart or open, no blade, the razor is set up to dry, in the bedroom, not in the bathroom. I keep all my blades in the bedroom too.
    The Yaqi Grill OC head a Razororock DE1 handle and a new Feather fit that bill.

    A nice, smooth, easy, no issue shave that was really needed, I'm smoother than I need to be. 2 passes head and face.
    I do feel better, that's good.
    Everyone else is fine, that's really great.
    Hope you don't get this bug, it really beat me up.

    All
    Enjoy!
