Continued focus: Gillette Tech Razor: Pre-war, triangle slot Tech Blade: Gillette 7 O'clock Blue Brush: WD Silvertip Soap: Stirling Sharp Dressed Man Been using my gold Fat Handle for about a week and have begun to enjoy the shave and the result. Still a bit more work than I like due to the mildness and my lack of talent. Today I switched to my triangle slot Pre-war Tech. While the feel is the same my impression is that this is slightly milder? 1 weeper for some unknown reason.

Thank you Doug. I at least survived the commute. My normal commute is bad enough but on a rainy morning it only gets worse. I look forward to retiring someday and not having the commute.
That's right Chris....this show never ends. We may THINK it does as we finish our daily shaves, but......NEAUPE.
Charlie, I see a whole new role for your here, sought of a TSD Razor Robin Hood thing. Scouring the world's flea markets, taking from the razor rich and giving to the razor poor.
Focus - Hard Soaps Today was the fourth shave on the road with my travel kit of an EJ DE89 and Arko. The DE 89 was my first safety razor and I forgot how well it shaves. With a Feather blade I can get two pass BBS with it consistently. I had intended to throw a Palmolive stick in the kit this week for variety, but forgot. That's not a problem because the Arko provides a great face lather.

I'm heading home today and can't wait to dig into the pass around box that is waiting for me at home. Happy Friday!
Interesting, I find my pre-war tech to be slightly more aggressive than my newer ones. I love using a really sharp blade in it, and can usually get a two and half pass BBS.
I will certainly keep it in mind I looked at ordering mbomb and shipping was 3x the cost of it so I think I need to order a good load of stuff at once.

Glad you survived. I know how bad Columbia traffic is when it is raining, I can only imagine how Atlanta traffic gets! It is a death defying exercise on a good day! Love that olivewood brush handle too. I think I am going to have to get one of those. The grain is just beautiful!
