    Well, backslapping from the crew here maybe, but more like a full frontal face slap from SWMBO if she sees the 'razor' come in the mail...

    It absolutely does, Evan. Just amazing what you are doing, especially with a home built CNC machine. To get true Shavey Points, though, you need to shave with it this month...

    MAYhem

    Razor: Valet AutoStrop
    Blade: Feather FHS (6)
    Brush: DSCosmetic Galaxy 26mm Silvertip
    PS: Proraso Red
    SS: Chiseled Face Bay Rum
    AS: Spanish Aqua Velva

    Shave number 6 on this FHS. I can tell the blade is not new but its still performing well enough. Just did a 2 pass WTG and ATG pass with a lot of blade buffing ATG. It would have been more comfortable with a XTG pass in between but I did end up with a DFS shave.

    While I hope stopping in the Autostrop works I am doubtful I will get a full month of shaving out of this blade.

    Another great outdoor pic, Gary. The brush and mug look like they were made for each other. Good morning, sir.

    I am only able to successfully go center to side.
    Obvious danger either way.

    Great kit! Welcome to TSD, Wizamets are great blades, but I am unable to go more than two shaves with any DE blade. Are you palm stropping?

    Great photo as always, Jim. There isn't a much more iconic visual in shaving than those ceramic Fat tubs. Awesome. That brush is so shiny we're getting the mirror image.

    jluc smelling pretty

    Thanks, Tim!

    Yes it's a glass bottle with the original contents and not the neon green stuff of today. The bottle has a barcode so I'm guessing late seventies or eighties.
    Beautiful picture and great report, Blair!
