    I'm really glad to see the Bic performs as well for you as it does for me, Neal. There are some who don't find it that sharp, apparently.

    Jeff, can you be seen in this video? Is there a timeframe where the camera catches you in the background?

    SATURDAY
    Smooth early morning shave today; up early with plenty to do today.
    I've found that my synthetic brushes are most effective in getting the MWF to cooperate and yield some fine lather.
    An uneventful but pleasant 3-pass shave left me in BBS territory. The 'Snake Bite' is a nice 'slap' to the face to finish.
    Have a blessed weekend all!

    SOTD June 13, 2015

    Prep: Shower, followed by hot facecloth and pre-shave oil (rose)
    Razor – Fendrihan DE
    Blade – Feather
    Brush – Parker Badger
    Soap- Proraso (White)
    After Shave - Lavender Witch Hazel
    After shave balm - Shea Butter

    Sorry, no picture today. Yesterday I was in the drug store sniffing the shaving soaps ("Sir, there is that man in aisle six sniffing the shaving soaps again...") and decided the Proraso White had a mild enough fragrance that I would give it a try. And it was well worth the effort. It lathered up well, it had a mild, yet not unpleasant fragrance, that dissipated with rinsing. A great shave overall. 10/10

    Enjoy your Saturday gents...:chores016:

    Soap Commander love
    Merkur progress(4)

    * restored is not the right word, Clint's creation made this brush better than it ever was. customization would be more fitting.
    today's shave was very good. all elements performed very close to perfectly, ending in a close comfy very nice shave. finished with some love balm(man, that sounds kinky to say).
    hope y'all get some love balm involved in your weekend.
