    Wonderful shave, Jeff! My Vector has been neglected for far too long. I have several SE razors with a single use blade in them. They'll probably take another month to go through.
    Thank you, Joe!
    Reading about the soaps losing their scent is part of the reason I've resisted purchasing any for so long.

    Thanks, Joseph!
    My puck fits loose in the tub so this morning I just popped it out and loaded the brush over my bowl. Not the most elegant solution but it worked.
    Thank you, Clint!

    Thanks, Joe! This razor is definitely in the ‘keep’ category!

    Shave Cream & Aftershave

    I tried to bowl lather the CC Bay Rum shave cream which I completely screwed up and went back to face lathering. Oh well. I will just stick with what I know. Back to the JAWS today. I decided to mix things up and start out with an ATG pass followed by XTG pass. With touching up my jawline and buffing my neck, I ended with a BBS shave. More importantly I had no irritation, weepers, nicks or drama. Followed up with a splash of CC Bay Rum aftershave and decided to double down with Kramperts as well. I hope everyone has a great Wednesday.

    February 26 SOTD:

    Razor: Razorock SS Lupo
    Blade: Polsilver
    Brush: PAA Starcraft
    Lather: AOS Tallow
    Aftershave: PAA Santalum Fumus
    Additional Care:
    Unrefined Shea Butter

    It is always nice to be back at home after a trip. It was a great two pass DFS this morning, and the AOS Tallow provided a great base for the shave. I actually just found this soap after our move, and I was worried I had lost it, so it was a pleasant surprise. A little smokey Sandalwood scent to top the shave off, and I am off to work. I hope everyone has a great day!

    Beautiful image and great report, Clint! Nothing like a BBS to start your day! I wish there was a dome shaver with that razor. I’d like to know what they think?
