Sounds like you are keeping busy. I'll ask my Mom today if she remembers in which storage building the razor me be. Then, if I find them, I'll post pics.

 

Great looking shave Joe. That soap is certainly on the way out.

Extraordinary shave and photo, Gary. You've knocked it out of the park today! The effect of the sunlight is perfect with the awesome gear.

 

Too many years using Photoshop for me. Apple does make it easy to stay within their ecosystem with their developed apps. I get that there's the whole iOS vs. Android thing, but either can be as simple or as technical as you want to get. I've used both, rooted/jailbroken both....got tired of the instability on both.....sticking with iOS for the foreseeable future.

 

Lovely photo and shave Pierpaolo.

Thanks Bruce! I have 9 Stirling tubs left, 2 Razorocks, 2 Music City Suds, Williams Frankensoap, Fine Italian Citrus, Proraso, 2 Cryogen(one should be finished this month) and one other soap. So with the Sandalwood and Cryogen gone by the end of the month, I still have 18 soaps to finish. I only shave on average 20 x a month so if the avg amt of shaves is 100 shaves / puck that's 7.5 years of usage without replacing soap. It's less than 7.5 yrs if I factor in headshaves. I do an average of 10 headshaves a month so total shaves (head and face shaves) would be 30 a month. At that rate, 100 shaves would be 3 1/3 months. Which would be 60 months or 5 yrs to finish all 18 pucks. So, I am kind of set with soaps.

 

Excellent shave, Joe! Guess you'll sink that soap on the next shave.
Thanks for showing me the different blade in the Dovo. I have a Utopia shavette that I've used only once back when I bought it. It only takes DE blades and I wasn't overly thrilled with the concept. I think I felt what's the advantage of using a DE blade when I could just instead use it in a safety razor and have an easier shave. I also hadn't built up a decent shave technique at that point either, so my opinion may be different now. I also have two straight razors that I've only used once each.

 

Awesome shave and picture, Pierpaolo. I'm sure you're glad to be moving on to a different scented soap.

 

Thank you, Sir.

 

Holy moly of a shave, Bruce!

 

Bruce, I also edit on the IPad and iPhone. There’s a neat little app I use after editing in the built in Photos app called Compress. It’s effortless to use, you simply select the photo from the photos app, and hit the compress button. You have the option of keeping the original or deleting it. I’ve never had a compressed photo not be accepted by the TSD photo software.

 

Lovely kit! You do like your General! Have a great day!

 

Thank you.

Yes, Andrew.
For sure, this is more of my taste.
Sweet, caressing, on the manly side.
Very nice, perfect for the fresh-cold season.

 

Excellent shave report, Joe! Glad your Dovo shavette shave went well!

 

Really like the handle on your razor, Gary! Great photo!

 

Thank you Clint! The funny thing is that some people complain that the aftershave runs out before the soap does. In this instance, it isn't true. I don't have much of the Sandalwood aftershave, but I will use it for my Williams Frankensoap or my Razorock XX.

 

Thank you, Jeff.
General V1 is for sure my #1 fav razor.
These days I'm testing the chinese AC blade.
So I'll be very happy to shave everyday with the CR, until the blade shaves well.
For now, about my Kai ProTouch average use, It's in the middle of the journey.
But I doubt the chinese replica will stand so long ...
