@Bama Samurai suggested it earlier this month. Sensei seems to know what he's talking about.

Another great picture. Adam really did a good job on the razor cover.

The 5 P's, prior planning prevents poor performance.

Thanks for the kind word! Glad to hear it works for you. It's one of those "stop trying so hard and just do it" moments I had that helped me get more comfortable shaves, especially with an open blade. What I can feel is far more important than what I can see.

For the win.

That Artique will freeze your cheeks off as a finisher. Have you ever tried the soap? I never have, but always wanted too.

Thank you, gentlemen.

January 2017 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion
This month I focused on using Route 66 soaps, Vintage Gillette razors, and on using brushes that I don't often use.
The results have been eye opening. I have in the works replacing the knots in four brushes. I have enjoyed using my Vintage Gillette's, which I usually do. I can honestly say that every Route 66 soap has performed outstanding. Thanks to all who have participated.
I will think about my focus for next month and post it on my first shave for February.

This picture will be my shave later today.
Razor: Timeless OC w/ Hempel handle
Blade: Gillette Platinum (6)
Brush: Rubberset #3 original boar
Soap: Route 66 Frozen Margarita
Aftershave: Route 66 Frozen Margarita Balm

Thank you, Clint. That razor cover is perfect for a dopp kit.

"Win" isn't the word that comes to my mind! Pass the eye bleach, please!

Beautiful picture and set up, Doug!

Just don't pass the Veg!!!

Thank you very much.

I haven't tried it either. The AS cold seems to sneak up on me a bit. I have a Stirling Glacial AS and of course some of the Rubby Dubby, and both of these seem to smack you with the cold. This one goes on smooth and easy, but a few minutes later, my eyes are watering and my face is freezing. It is the coldest AS I have. I love it.

Fantastic picture, Doug.

Thank you very much.

Psst... Where do you find these photos... for ahh, research purposes. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Personal pics from my travels around the country. I used to drink a bit. Or maybe a lot.

Doug I have truly enjoyed viewing your winter photos this month. You have a wonderful collection of vintage razors. Your assessment of Route 66 soaps is spot on. Every soap I've tried just flat worked. Thank you for bringing Route 66 to my attention.
