Marvelous shave with the Schick N1 fitted with a twin blade. Three passes for a dolphin smooth and refreshing finish. Enjoy your day friends.

Today's shave
Hot water wash with a washcloth
Rubberset 49-4/silvertip knot
Tampa Shave Company Mango Lime
Ever-Ready 1924
CVS US made (1)
Omega Alum
Iced L&M Florida Water
Today's shave was terrific. The Mango Lime smelled delicious. The mango really developed this morning. And, this soap is slick as snot on grease. The CVS blades are sharp, wow, what a shave. The shovelhead started out loudly removing my stubble, but ended quietly. I ended the show with alum add iced Florida Water. Very nice shave.
Hope y'all did as well, or better.
Anyone on the fence about TSC Mango Lime, better jump, you won't be sorry. I greased up the carbon blade (dab of Vaseline). It was smoother than i remember, hope it lasts better than previous results.

Great picture, Roby!

Another picture-perfect shave this morning!

The Sharp Dressed Man's delicious scent came through, the lather was awesome, and the post-shave care was great. The Nip Man balm felt nice and soothing. What more can a guy want?

Have a good weekend!

What would cause a "freshly honed" razor to fail so quickly?

Terrific shave this morning. Mitchell's is one of my favorites and I enjoy using it each Friday. Top-notch all the way around. The Pushbutton continues to be a terrific razor.

Have a great Friday!

Just going to have to take your word on this one David...

Junk steel. It's been known for a while not to buy Pakistani Razors, but I hadn't known anyone who actually had experiences with them. So, I decided to find out for myself. The steel is inferior, for use in straight razors, and their construction is about the worse I've seen.

Reef Point Peerless today. 20 seconds to load the JB Silvertip. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Gillette 7 O’Clock Green SS in the Slim. Excellent smooth, close shave. I finished with Stirling Barbershop w/Menthol.
