    Great picture, Perry! MWF has been a top performer for me as of late. If this year is anything like the last several, my gumb will be towards the bottom of the entrants. You would want some of the other teams' work, quite a bit better.
    Beautiful picture, Brian!
    Great B&W picture, Jason!

    Rubberset 400
    Wholly Kaw Monaco Royale
    1936 Gillette Aristocrat
    Wholly Kaw Monaco Royale AS

    This soap is so wonderful. The scent is great and the performance is as good or better than anything else I have tried. It set up a perfect shave for me with 2 passes, just a little clean up. A DFS. Going to be a different work day for me with the gumbo cook off going. I hope everyone has a great day!

    Good advice.

    I resemble that remark.

    You had me at Rush. (You lost me again at Beiber.)

    Take your time, and enjoy the process, Jason. There is so much knowledge here it's kind of like "drinking from the fire hose". If I could tell you anything to concentrate on, it'd be "make the butter on toast sound" with the razor, and you know you're reducing hair, and use less pressure than you think you need. If you use the same gear for a month, and focus on those two things, adding in advice as you have questions or run into issues, you'll be DE shaving like a pro in 30 days.

    Do you deliver, Jim? That looks freaking awesome!

    Thank you, Randy! Throw in some ice cream for the delivery boy, I might be able to work something out.

    I'm almost ready to declare a winner in the survey, but not quite yet. Freaking cookies remains a bit behind, but I'm not above thinking as I did last week that there could be a dash to the finish line on Halloween.

    Thank you, Jason. It's all for a good cause, but everyone has fun with it, too.

    Those MicroMatics were built like a tank, so heavy that any pressure is probably too much.
    Lovely setup, Rick!
    Breaking out the big guns for this focus! Love the Weber and the Chubby 2!
    Awesome photo, Clint!
    Happy Fat Friday, Perry!
    Cool razor, Brian!
    Great photo Jason! Take a look at the top cap on both razors, are they the same thickness ? There are some OT with a thicker top cap that are supposedly the more aggressive. I have a thin cap OT that is as mild a kitten and then I have my Single Ring and ABC set that have fangs like a tiger.
    How is the 'Crat compated to the Sheraton? I find the Sheration super mild unless you open it up a bit.
    That is quite possibly the most stunning New I have ever seen, Mark!

    One picture and lineup Perry. I hope you have a great weekend.

    Route 66 makes some fantastic soap for sure.

    Wonderful B&W Photo. Seville is one of my best scented shaving soaps I have tried.

    Great picture Jim. Is the Wholly Kaw one of those soaps made with Donkey Milk? If so can you tell it added anything to the soap?

    Wonderful New LC Mark. Nick really did great work on the razor.

    The Aristocrat is a bit heavier than the Sheraton, so I find it a bit more aggressive. Not unlike a late 40s Aristocrat compared to a SS.

    Thanks Clint! Unfortunately the pictures don't do this razor justice. Nick outdid himself on this one.

    I remember you sending me his photos off the razor after the work. It really is something special.
