    MAYhem

    Razor: Valet Auto Strop
    Blade: Feather FHS (14 & 15)
    Brush: DSCosmetic Galaxy 26mm SilverTip
    PS & AS: Proraso Green
    SS: Colonia Di Agrumi

    Back to using the VAS to see how far it will go. I have increased the stropping to 10 strokes per shave. I also noticed if I don't hold the razor straight the strop twists slightly and the blade doesn't fully contact the leather. This has really helped. Both shaves where amazing 2 pass DFS shaves.

    If I can make it to 21 shaves on this blade I will consider it a success. I may go farther but I have a shelf full of other razors which need my love.

    I am really trying to kill this soap. Any guesses on how much longer this will take?

    Continued to work my way through some neglected or never used blades today. Pulled out my only tuck of Lords, which I believe came as a gift from the vendor on another blade order. Have 2 left, so I guess I used 3 over the past several years. Only Lord blade I have, and the only Egyptian I have, as far as I can recall.
    Whipped up the usual excellent Fine lather and had 3 easy passes with the Canadian Rocket. Blade is fine. Nothing special, nothing awful.
    Have a great day all!

    Jim, I've spent parts of many summers out there-Rocky Mtn. National Park specifically. I was in Golden for a few days in June, 2018. Nice place!

    You are right about that, Patrick. Sometimes, boring is good.

    Yes, especially this morning. Right away, and on the cheek. Weird. But a nice shave overall.
