    Well I must ask is there anything quite as good as the simple Tech loaded with a Feather blade? Well of course there is which is why we all have umpteen number of razors in our collections! However, it is one mild yet efficient beauty with a Feather or Kai or whatever your poison may be.

    Soap of the day is Dr Jon 13...March 31 backwards! Yup, 13. There is no magic mojo here I just pray April brings us hope, joy and good health! Lovely scent and great performer.

    Very nice three pass BBS shave achieved. 13 I found slicker than Flowers in the Dark but that could simply be the experience gained from the latter in lathering the former. Topped it off with some English Laundry Windsor EDP and deodorant. Perfect.

    Stay safe and enjoy your shaves.

    Thank You Ed, and speaking of blades, I have a substantial stash of a dozen or more. My son makes fun of me for hoarding blades. :D

    I have at least a dozen brands of 200 or more. I've not taken the time to count but I'd guess I have 3,000 or more and I've given my son no less than 500. It's fun..

    Sometimes I whip up a triple batch of lather just to see how it lathers and smells. :D And then wash it down the drain.
