    Thanks, Charlie! My Doc told me to run not walk for it. I was lucky to get it the day after the FDA announcement. The only side effects were a very slightly sore arm and some muzzy headedness. I was unable to play bridge that night. I just walked into a local CVS after my reservation.

    Glad your shave went well, Joe! You need a Feather Super in that Tedalus for an amazing shave.

    Thanks Jeff! Yes, it is! The handle was also hard to twist, but that was because soap got in the underside of it. It was an easy remedy.

    Great shaves are the rule and not an exception in your den. I am surprised that A/E does not float your boat. I have never tried that brand, but it seems everyone raves about. Have a nice day!

    Beautiful weather here in the heartland. Low humidity and sunshine.
    Such wonderful weather demands an equally-wonderful shave.
    Such was the case in today's episode of...
    wcowenecw.jpg
    Primo's Pandering Peroration

    The ABC lather was SUMPTUOUS, pricey, but "got 'er done"
    The R41 was SPECTACULAR in taking down all stubble.
    The Owner-Operator of today's dangerous equipment was at the TOP OF HIS GAME!!!!
    Gotta smell great after an AMAZING shave, so to finish, I chose:

    So, word on the fora, is that this recent incarnation of Maurice Roucel's
    once beast of a     fragrance, doesn't even come close to what it was 21 years ago.
    Still, I get good projection, fair sillage and excellent longevity.    ​

    Hembree Not as pretty smelling

    Yesterday's shave
    20210816_064235.jpg
    Colibri (Hummingbird) safety razor with 1.10mm solid bar plate.
    Voskhod blade (2)
    Napa Soap Co. shave soap (Ocean Blend)
    Simpson T3 Trafalgar

    Picked up a new shave soap at the a fleamall on Saturday. Price was cheap and it came with a small wood handle boar brush. I opted to use the T3 instead. It is not a bad soap and gets the job done. The Colibri was great for three passes.



    Today's shave.
    20210816_064457.jpg
    Colibri (Hummingbird) safety razor with 1.10mm solid bar plate.
    Voskhod blade (3)
    Razorock 400 synthetic brush
    Fine Accoutrements Snake Bite
    Black Tie Gentleman

    I broke out the Snake Bite and man did I love the Fine soaps....just good stuff. The Voskhod does a great job in the Colibri.

    Awesome...drama free shave.

    I hope everyone has a great Monday!
