    Day 9 with the Cooper, 3rd day with the Polsilver. Next up in the sample rotation is the Port-au-Prince. It is the sheep version and I haven’t used it in a few months. Face-lathered a nice batch and had a routine 3 pass shave. Just a minimal touch up on my right jawline, and I am smooth.
    I find this soap to be just about the strongest scented that I have, so I decided to finish with the unscented glacial balm. I’ll switch in a different blade tomorrow- Neal has inspired me to pull out a Sharp Star.
    Have a great day all!

    Just one pass was all that was needed this morning. It was a nice comfortable shave and I thought about doing a second pass, but it wasn't needed. I am interested in seeing how long the shave lasts today.

    First off- Awesome picture, Jim.
    This takes watching the bodily injuries of our 30DC brethren to a new level.
    I vote video. [/QUOTE="Norcalnewb, post: 1355789, member: 12950"]I am fairly certain that your interpretation of "funny" is exactly right. The comedy would start once I posted her reaction, assuming I had functional fingers after. I am not sure Siri knows how to make posts on here.[/QUOTE] You will have to teach Siri before you do take the plunge.
    Shared this with Mrs. Drygulch. Jim, she recommended not putting soap in the nutcracker. She says other things can be stuffed in a nutcracker if your wife is upset. She also suggested letting your wife video the reaction if you do, as you may not be able to hold the camera steady.

    Great photo Brian. Thanks for the reminder. I will make sure I get Jeff's soap in the rotation shortly.

    Wonderful photo Charlie. I really like the weathered lumber background

    Fantastic B&W photo. Looks like the MonoBilit is a hit.

    Great photo Mark. All start lineup on a holiday background.

    Thank you for the compliment and the laugh! I am not sure I am brave enough to try to claim the "SWMBO Best Reaction to a Dumb Shaving Stunt" Shavey award.
