    I can't believe it is Wednesday already. Using the same things again today so nothing much to add there. I did fully tighten the DOC before the shave this morning. I found the shave to be just as efficient but much smoother. I hope everyone has a great Wednesday.

    Very nice, Clint!
    I've experimented with my copper Ascension from handle tightened down to as far open as I was comfortable that it wasn't too loose and allow the head to move while shaving. That's about 3/8 of a turn backed off. Like you I found the only change to be how smooth the shave felt.

    Rating: 5 / 5

    Razor: Valet Auto Strop VC4
    Blade: Feather - FHS
    Brush: Shore Shave Creamsicle Swirl 24 mm White Synthetic
    Lather: Stirling Satsuma
    Aftershave: Stirling Satsuma
    Additional Care:
    Barbero Alum Block
    Thayer's Witch Hazel - Aloe Vera
    Stirling Unscented Glacial Balm

    Absolutely total badass shave this morning. First time using the Valet VC4 and the soap/splash combination. The razor delivered a super close and comfortable shave. The Stirling soap performed as you would expect from this artisan and the scent is just fabulous. I will be looking forward to it’s repeat performance tomorrow morning.

    Enjoy your day brothers.

    Wonderful shave Jason. I am not familiar with the soap. Is it very tobacco forward or a subtle touch?

    Cella - PreShave Gel, Shave Soap, After Shave Balm & Lotion
    Ever Ready 100 w/synthetic flat top
    Blackland Dart
    Bolzano SuperInox

    Needed a quick easy 'git 'r done' shave this morning. Blackland Dart and Cella called to task. Easily made lather bursts from the ER 100 with the slightest hydration and swirling. Super luscious maraschino cherry fragrance in abundance throughout the 2 pass shave.....BBS results w/a touch up on the neck, no shenanigans. Quick ASB and AS application, wonderful face feel for hours is the results. Slight almond sweet aroma, wifey approved for this household.

    Busy day, bunch 'o work, plus a couple doctor visits for my elderly father.

    Hope everyone has a fantastic Wednesday!

    Great shave, Jim! The depth of color on the brush is amazing - looks like it's metal and not resin.
