    Fantastic Friday shave Dave! However, it is easy to have a great shave with top shelf gear! Take care!

    Fantastic shave report Joseph. The Kouros sounds like a very interesting scent.

    Thank you Joe....the overall feel of my face and neck this morning trumps the fact that I got a Knick. :)

    Mysterium Paracelsus is on the list to be deep-sixed. I consider it a nice soap because it lathers well and has a mild floral scent. The Stirling brush did a nice job creating a nice lather, but every now and then, it sheds a bristle. Maybe, I should have purchased one of their synthetics insread. Lol!
    It's been a fun month as I continue to use my razors that have been left waiting in the wings. Today, the Slim got the call. Personally, I consider it in between mild and aggressive at its highest setting. Although I can get great shaves with 2 passes from safeties, I come to realize that I need 3 to get a dead on BBS shave. Today, the Slim gave me a BBS shave without incident. The alum gave a little feedback on my upper lip and the neck, but not enough to make me wince. Applied the witch hazel and then gave myself a double splash of the Veg. I really enjoyed today's shave.
    Have a super day gentlemen.

    This might make you feel better.....a reviewer for Stoylin Gentleman said it's THE BEST tobacco scent ever-and that, of course would make it better than Tabac itself. Course he was talkinabout how his own "olfactory bulb".(nose)reacts to Stoylin Gentleman.

    Man on the right(as we look at him)looks more like Dustin Hoffman than Hoffman himself.

    Congrats Bill. I'd offer $42.50, but I'm on a no-buy. :D

    @b1hart, it is better to have and not need than need and not have.
