Welcome back, Jared, and congrats on the new job, my friend!

Not to upset @PickledNorthern on this, but stop, collaborate, and listen: I'd go vanilla ice style on this. Ning Ning Ning ninga ning Ning.

I probably won't shave tomorrow, so I went with an Adjustable Arko shave today. Results are good. Arko is a good soap for me, but I have much better in my den. You can't beat the price, and Samurai is showing us that the price is even better since it looks like a single stick will last forever. The Schick Adjustable provided a smooth ride on setting 7. Good shave in the end.

Have a great weekend!

Aftershave: Eufros Jabonman GEA balm

Another wonderful and relaxing shave this morning. My first use of an Eufros product and I see why it is in such demand. The soap was easy to lather, offered great protection, a wonderful scent and was one of the slickest soaps I've ever used. Both razors just glided across my face. One pass with the Supply and two with the Chimera and I'm close to BBS. It's getting easier to use this Chimera. Alum was mostly silent, slight tickle on my lower neck. The Eufros balm was nice; not greasy with a wonderful albeit short lived scent. I've been directed to a cologne that matches this scent pretty closely that I need to order. Have a great day folks!

Welcome back. Changing jobs is always hectic at best. Congrats on the new job.

Great Lineup. The brass General is such a good razor it's hard to put down. I plan using the General most of May.

Thanks, guys. It is pretty stressful, but I have been to busy to worry about whether or not it was the right thing to do, and I actually had fun this week.

Congrats on the new job!

Razor: F2 Gillette 195 Adjustable (4)
Blade: German Wilkie (5)
Brush: Razorock Plissoft 22
Cream: KMF fragrance-free
Post: Alum, Listerine, WH

Just a quick Saturday shave, probably my last for the month as tomorrow is an early and long day. Two passes to a nice DFS although I suspect the Wilkie is nearing its end. I thought I reopened a nick from the other day but it took care of itself.

It's definitely been an interesting month. I spent a decent amount of time with my adjustable, though I never did get around to the SA. Along the way, I reacquainted myself with some blades and had two horrible experiences courtesy of a certain Korean company.

Very nice, Charlie. You make the Gillette Super Speed look classy in your shots.

Jim, thanks the kind words. Have a great weekend, sir!

Anybody else notice this job change happened at the same time Starbucks introduced the Unicorn Frappuccino?

Congratulations on the new job. We've missed you!

Not super close, but it was a very nice shave this afternoon with no blood or irritation. I am getting more comfortable with the shavette in general and using my left hand. Think I will give it another week with two North to South passes to cement the skills then start adding a South to North pass.

I'll just leave this here while I finish up the shave.

Wow, medical tape on the counter. Having a bad day?

Think "Proof of Concept." Writing it up now.

I know what you are doing and salute you
