    Loaded a fresh Proline (thanks again, Clint) into the Suppy and realized instantly that was the culprit yesterday. 3 smooth passes and I am really happy with the results. Switched things up and splashed on some Avon Spicy which I decanted into an extra Shulton bottle. Does it match? Not at all, but I'm becoming a little nose blind to the Cool after so many days of it lately.
    I overestimated how many days left on the soap last time. After having the 'soap destroyer' chew through it a bit, I'd say 3 shaves left.
    Have a great day all!

    Thanks, Gary!

    Not officially retired yet. I'm burning through some accumulated vacation and I'll go back for one day in March to make it official. I'll work one day as a 55 year old and be done.

    My shave reports feel like a broken record. Pretty consistent with no surprises lately.

    Nice finish on the soap Dave, great report and images :)shocked003:.....:)).

    Love the image and combination Clint....ouch on the set down mishap.

    Very fun image and color combo Danny, nice details on the Alien Shave glycerine soap. Sounds like y'all have our weather too, we're hitting 75F+ today! Who'da thunk TX was frozen solid a week ago.

    Great shave, pic and post Dave! I would definitely say your lather is worthy of a straight razor shave. Enjoy the day.

    SOTD TUESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 23, 2021

    SWMBO and her fragrance allergy left for the morning freeing me up to use Old Spice to complete my shave. I'm ignoring the white blanket covering my property, and continuing to pray for warmer temperatures, although 36°F is not quite as warm as I’d like. My mug shave this morning was ok. I selected my only modern artisan razor, the Riga Razor 7/8. The shave was perfectly adequate, but this razor has always felt clunky and awkward in hand to me. I’m probably going to sell it. It’s just not for me. I’ve had my eye on a maker based in Colorado whose razors are elegantly designed, but rather pricey! I may reward myself after my second Covid vaccination in early March. The dome shave was superb and featured my Gillette Big Fellow which dates from the second year of production (1920). This 101 year old razor always delivers the goods. Just another great dome shave in the books. I feel clean, refreshed, and porcelain smooth.

    RAZOR: Riga Razor 7/8 (Mug), Gillette Big Fellow [1920] (Dome)
    BLADE: Feather DE
    PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
    BRUSH: Alpha Shaving T-400 Tribute with 24mm Hybrid Knot Ferrule
    SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
    POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Old Spice Original (Indian Version)

    Hope you’re all well. I haven’t been posting here lately but have been following along as time permits, usually very late in the evenings when I’m able to sit down for a bit.

    Anyway, seeing all the talk about a certain flower species prompted me to take this picture this morning.
