    Jul 12 SOTD:

    Stirling Synthetic Brush
    MWF
    Merkur Futur
    Rapira PL (14)
    Stirling Unscented PSB
    Vintage Old Spice AS

    If today is any indication, this blade will definitely make it past the 16 shave mark. It was smooth today paired with the Futur. I am heading to San Antonio today with my son to see my parents, so it should be a good weekend with him. I hope everyone has a great day!

    I have been on a run of using various SE razors so it's time to pull out some DE razors and get reacquainted. Up first is the Wolfman Ti OC with an increased blade gap of .74mm. This razor is one of my two most efficient DE razors. The Reef Point Tranquility scent is straight lavender and peppermint. The peppermint is the dominant scent and adds a cooling sensation to the shave. Tranquility very similar to Cambridge & Oxford but smells better to me. The 30 DC Boar whipped a rich slick lather with little effort. I went with the same 2 pass pattern I use with SE razors like the Cobra with the 1st pass being XTG followed by an ATG pass. Paying attention to my trouble spots and skin stretching on my neck minimized the amount of touch ups and left me with a near perfect shave. A splash of Fine Lavender and I am ready for the day. I hope everyone has a great Wednesday.

    Birthday Shave! Went with the A.J. Murray's St. Paddy. The scent was like Irish Spring and awesome but the lather not so much. Dried out pretty fast and never got that thick. After my usual 3 pass shave with the Gillette and Astra SP the alum told me Happy Birthday! The end result is a pretty good shave anyway, smooth and soft!

    Going to a few of my favorite bourbon's distilleries today: Buffalo Trace, Woodford Reserve and Wild Turkey. Then probably going to this dive bar with tons of bourbon lining the wall and treating myself to a $100 pour of the 15 year Pappy Van Winkle. I was told I had to try it and it's my birthday, so why not?

    Happy Shaving everyone!

    Happy birthday @Fup!

    Nice and smooth shave this morning. I'm still working on this sample of Soap Commander Courage. It hasn't seemed to diminish much. Might get 15 shaves out of it as this was number five already. Great stuff. Nice and easy shave with good results.

    Have a great day!

    Shaving with a Straight at youth camp? You are a brave man, Chris! Have fun, and try to resist the occasional temptation to use the razor as a weapon against out of control teenagers!

    Happy Birthday, Fup! At $100 a shot, sip it slow, and realize you are paying for the experience and the story value, not the liquor itself. Cheers!

    By the way, is there a story behind the name Fup? Your initials? You shortened "what's up" to "sup" and had a typo? Speech impediment? What's Fup with that?

    It's a name I made up for videogames a long time ago so now it's just my online alias.
