Thanks Andrew . I will pass the word on to them . They are as proud as i am and it gives them more counter space too . Lol
May 9th Razor: Blackbird OC Blade: Bic Chrome Platinum (2) Brush: SOC badger Soap: CK Porthos Thayers Lavender AS: CK Porthos Good evening gentlemen! I hope everyone is well! The Bic is in the blade bank. It didn't pair well with the Blackbird. Three pass face, two pass neck. The atg pass on my jaw and chin I resorted to short buffing strokes, chopping my way through because it didn't want to cut. The result, a couple of weepers, warmer than usual alum with a hot spot on my jaw. I rarely get weepers these days. I did nick my lip, user error, no need to shave my lip. On to the next blade. Have a good night fellas! Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
Great pic Jim! Bic makes some good blades, but they after also known for some QC issues. If you try another one you may have different results. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
Agreed. I love the blades but there's a higher percentage of blades that go straight in the bin. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
I got 8 great shaves on a particular Bic CP before it went south. Just food for thought Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Another nice photo and shave report. So, just out of curiosity, how many Crown King soap/AS combos did you order, Jim?
What an awesome looking combo, Mark. Was Strop Shoppe a fave, and were you able to stock up before they pulled the plug?
Thanks Jason! I ordered four, you guys have seen them all. Night shift on a phone with internet access. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
When I go against the grain on my neck, I almost always have the scales straight out, similar to a kamisori style. That seems to keep them out of the way the best for me.
