Thank you,Clint..I hope you have a great day.

Looking forward to your Egyptian blade focus, Barry. Interested to see what comes out as winners. I believe I’ve only ever tried Lord Platinum class from Egypt.

What a combo, Dave. Love the 66 and Palmolive of course, and you don’t see the vintage splash very often that’s for sure. What is the scent like? Those SV brushes are such lookers as well. Very nice!

I don’t recall you pulling out that Semogue badger very often, Joe. Very nice. Hope you had fun at breakfast.

How are things progressing with that soap reduction, Joe? You seem to be sticking to it. I didn’t think you’d deep six 5 this year, but at this rate you’ll get there for sure. Well done.

Love the greys, Jim! Does that brush handle fade to bronze accents at the base, or is that an illusion? Stunning, regardless. Someday, I’d like to try the Boellis soap that RR is a dupe of. That MF is one of the few RR Super Tallow bases, iirc.

Lovely, Clint. The Speick sounds great- so many reasonably priced, neutrally scented Euro hard soaps out there that just seem to work.
Have fun with your Mom.

Love the look of that Thater bulb, Pierpaolo. A very nice looking combo for sure.

The taming of the Tatara. I think.

Can the Nodachi be tamed? Is it possible?

The Razorock 400 took care of the Imperial shave soap with out any problems. It produced a very large amount of thick slick stuff.

On to the Tatara. It was taunting me this morning. I could not resist and had to give it a go this morning.

I loaded a fresh Astra SP in the Nodachi, added a nylon washer and the Weber bulldog handle. I am use to shorter handles on my razors so I though I would give the bulldog a go. Since I rode the cap the last go around I figured I would get on the bar for this shave. Hey....what have I got to loose.....skin will grow back. I kept the handle almost parallel to the skin and completed three smooth drama free passes. The shave felt really great. After rinsing the soap onto the alum. I wet the alum and started rubbing the face down. It was like rubbing an ice cube across my face except for one small spot on my neck which was just a little warm. If I have a problem that is the area that I have a problem with. Anyway, I was totally shocked and excited with the results of the alum this morning.

A little splash of witch hazel and no smelly stuff today. I have some work around the house today.

Can the results from today's shave be replicated? We shall see in the morning. Would this razor benefit from the shorter Masamune handle that Dave @Dave in KY has? Do I need to try the longer Nodachi handle and ride the bar again. More experimentation is needed but hey I'm having fun.

Have a great Saturday gentlemen!

Thanks, Jason!

I don't get this soap out often but I'm always impressed by how quickly it jumps into a lather. Quality stuff.

The brush is one of what John calls Rockstar. It has stars embedded in the resin.

Wonderful shave Barry! Enjoy your evening!

Super Schick Saturday shave Dave! Enjoy your day!

Thank you Clint. It was a great way to start the morning.

Excellent shave Joe! Kudos to using a straight for a headshave!

Gorgeous Evan! Take care.

Awesome shave Barry. Look forward to following along with the blades.

Thanks Joe! I don't like to workout in a fasting state. I don't need the paramedics reviving me from passing out. Lol!
