    Love the PRC Hydra, Jared. Cool photo. Have a great week, and say hello to the folks at the Hampton Inn.

    Most definitely decadent, Neal. I'm glad you "sold" me on Voskhods! :)

    A true beauty that only a 30DC wet shaver can fully appreciate.

    Razor: G3 Gillette Aristocrat Adjustable (5)
    Blade: Treet Platinum (2)
    Brush: Razorock Plissoft 22
    Cream: KMF fragrance-free
    Post: Alum, Listerine, WH

    For various reasons, I ended up not shaving all weekend, so I hit the ground running today on 3 days growth. The Aristocrat and Treet Platinum were back for another round of decadence though I went with the more plebeian (but no less luxurious) KMF cream.

    Two passes to an effective BBS with zero issues. That's enough decadence for today.

    Wowzers, that's a cool straight razor, Keith. I believe @PickledNorthern has one just like it...um...no...I guess not.

    Very nice photo and gear! I like the Atomic Rockets. I'm guessing you re-knotted the handle?

    Going with canned cream/foam until Saturday, by which time my WCS order SHOULD arrive. It's a good opportunity to put a couple rarely used (and underrated)aftershaves to work.

    Day 3 with the Cooper. There has been some Catie’s talk on the thread, and I realized I hadn’t actually tried any of the samples of it that I have. Today was Un Jour Gris. I smushed some in the bottom of a bowl and whipped up a ton of very nice looking lather that held a lot of water. It didn’t, however, seem to have a lot of slickness on the passes. My first thoughts are that it looks the part, and has a nice cologny scent, but is just ok for performance. I’ve got a few samples of it, so will come back to it for a better assessment.
    3 passes to BBS. No touch ups at all. The Cooper is a star. Finished with the Jeeves. This is the 2nd time I’ve used it, and both times I find a scent in the initial splash that I don’t care for, but is gone after the dry down. I like it.
    I’ll switch out the Astra for a different blade tomorrow.
    Have a great day all!

    Great photo. Hope you feel better today, Rick! Looking at that Old Spice decanter should help.

    Jason, you are really tempting me to go off rail and bring out one of my Coopers!
