    Oooh, Executive Man shave for the win! Great photo, Evan--that Genesis looks fantastic with your brush handle :D

    I have a twelve year old son that bounces up and down and flaps his hands like a hummingbird whenever he gets excited--been like that since he was old enough to sit up on his own. I've often wondered where in the world that excitability comes from, and then I heard you are almost ready to grind the blades, and the phone flew out of my hands because of all the hummingbird flapping. Hmmm... :signs002: :happy102:

    Great report and Photo, Neal! I had no idea the OT's were that aggressive. Awesome idea to showcase a razor that has seen 2 pandemics :D

    That bowl and brush combo look fantastic, btw!

    Well, it's 11:30 pm on the East Coast. I decided to headshave. I picked my Van Der Hagen razor that had a Rockwell blade in to do the job. I may use it for tomorrow's face shave so maybe I should prime the pump. Anyway, used the Barbury synthetic brush with the Williams soap to give a substandard, but slick lather. I have to say this razor did a great job to give me a CBS (cueball smooth) shave once again. I really never cared for this razor over the years, but I have to admit it opened my eyes on my last 2 headshaves with it. Finished with the Pinaud Clubman Classic aftershave and there wasn't any stinging so the shave was really a comfortable one. Have a good night guys.

    Gotta love a Schick. Type E is great, as you know, because yes, that's what you just shaved with. :happy088:

    Super Schick Shave Chris! That's great news about your work situation. I have an Schick E3 that doesn't open . I would say you have an E1 because they do allow access to clean the blade. I believe Schick E2 razors also didn't open. Have a great Monday my brother!

    I called it a 'splash' finish but I like your description better, it looks like a winter ice storm.

    Monday back to work safety razor shave, King Cobra with a Feather Pro (2). I was expecting excellent but just a good shave. No irritation but I was surprised it was not closer.

    ID - 2 (1).jpeg

    This weeks focus will be large full hollow razors, all 7/8 or larger with full hollow grinds.
