    Yes indeed. My favorite razor and my favorite soap base. I would have to work to screw up the shaves this week. :cool:

    IMG_0187.JPG 12 February 2017 Pre-Valentine's Day Blade/Focus Shave

    Pre- VDH Shave Butter w/hot towel
    Blade- Gillette Silver Blue
    Razor- Parker 99r
    Brush- Omega 10098
    Soap- Route 66 "Rum Runner"
    Post- Hot/Cold water rinse, alum block, icy cold towelx2, Dominello Vitali Calming Post Shave Moisturizer
    After Shave- Clubman Virgin Island Bay Rum
    Prop- Analee Valentine's Day mouse
    So after much video watching, reading and strum und drang, I stood in my den, picked up the 10098, Rum Runner soap and got after it. Man oh man what a difference between this week and last. There was almost too much lather. As usual the GSB delievered. I don't chase the baby, but today he crawled right in and made himself at home. Since I had the time and the inclination, a three pass shave ensued and as it usually is on a two day growth it was fantastic! The 66 provided a slick, cushiony lather, the GSB provided it's usual close comfortable shave. Splashed on some VIBR and Sunday was off and running. Tomorrow is the start of the real test. I am confident that the GSB will continue it's stubble assassin ways.
    Have a great Sunday people!

    Now you are on a roll with soap. The big boar should be a lather making machine.

    The Route 66 container is big enough to really get after it as well.

    Yeah, with the combination of that soap and brush, I bet you had a ton of great suds. Route 66 builds crazy good lather.

    You shoulda seen it! When I went to the bowl and started swirling it just exploded! I could have had a five or six pass shave.

    I love the Ghost Town Barber Scent. I have only tried the soap, but would totally buy the aftershave.

    Does it dry down powdery? I could see it being one of those I have to wear when I am alone.

    You may have just explained why I now see Osage in the Clubman website. Ed(Pinaud)must have given his posthumous approval to include it.
