    Excellent shaves, Bruce! I really enjoy using the SC Courage.

    Wednesday's Shave
    #SEptember Focus

    AutoStrop B1
    GEM S/S PTFE (Despined)
    Jararuh #314
    Vintage WIlliams Mug Shaving Soap
    Dickinson's Witch Hazel
    Pinaud Lilac Vegetal

    Hats off to @Primotenore for helping me secure this vintage bottle to decant and store my Veg. It's been settling in for about 2 weeks now. Looks nice on the bathroom counter too.
    Three efficient passes today with the AutoStrop provided a very comfortable and irritation free shave. It's a very forgiving razor and it's easy to find the best angle. The Vintage Williams also performed wonderfully, giving me all the protection and slickness I needed.

    I have to use a much lighter touch with my Feather. Somehow the traditional straights are more forgiving.

    In the sense of tradition, history and lather ability, absolutely.

    Glad you are with us, Bruce---for as much or as little as suits you. Nice SE razors, btw.

    I was doing Sample Sunday for a little while. I didn't last long. I have a lot of samples to use up as well.

    Thank you, Andrew! It's a decent soap, and a nice scent as well.

    Thanks Joseph! The GEM Junior is somewhat of a beater. Still a great shaver though. Being able to hang with this group is always iffy, but I'll try to drop in anyway.

    Thank you, Clint!

    Samples are both great and a PITA at the same time. They're better suited for those who are bowl-latherers, which I'm not. Nice way to try a soap base/scent out, however when all those little jars pile up it becomes almost overwhelming.

    A beautiful looking combo, Doug. That sounds like a fine Rule. Very admirable of you to do a Rule with that unobtanium Floid Blue as well. Is there something in particular you are looking to work on shave-wise with your Rule? Or just because?

    That is such a nice looking combo, Clint. Still planning on bringing out the aggressive plate? I only used that razor for a few weeks on a loaner from @Screwtape but remember doing 3 pass shaves with the 2 dot and 2 pass shaves with the 3 dot plate.

    Very nice, Jeff. You mentioned in your blurb yesterday that you have wetshaved (with a Krona) for 50 years. I'm curious- have you always used a preshave product? Do you find it makes a difference still?

    Yes, sounds like you'd like a 3rd plate option on that razor. You've inspired me to bring out the Baker Street, Jim. I haven't reached for it in too long, probably because I've had a Baker Street shampoo bar in the shower for the past few months.
