    I actually have a couple of straights and do shave with them started a couple of years ago, but need to make it a habit. Might use them in a future 30 day rule. Also use a Feather Clubman SS shavette. I'm finding all the DE shaving stuff is fuelling my thinking with using SRs.

    Another good shave with the E3 this morning. I pulled out some favourites to go with it and had a decent 2 passer with a few touch ups. Did have a rare weeper that took the styptic to stop, however.
    Have a great day all!

    That's awesome, John! I imagine you're about out of your mind by now, and feeling as if it's taking forever to heal up. Progress is being made, and there's light at the end of the tunnel. Just being able to drive again will be huge.

    Good to hear from you again, John. Sounds like you are healing on schedule.
    What do you think of those Fendrihan branded soaps? I see they also have Fendrihan branded made in England Creams as well.
    Love that flattop! Glad to hear the shave was better today, Clint. I agree, everything is better on a Friday!

    Great pic and combo, Jim! That settles it, when I'm done with a week of the Schick, I'm pulling out my long-neglected 40s SS.
    Awesome! You've set the bar pretty high now, Joseph. We'll all be eagerly anticipating your next write ups!

    Today's the day, right? It's not gonna shed. It's not gonna shed. It's not gonna....damn....
    Bumped up to plate #5. Nailed the shave (except for one tiny weeper, cuz I was lazy and dumb). Three passes, super smooth. Healthy dose of Stirling Gentleman to seal the deal. Superb.

    Have a fantastic Friday, fellas!

    FYI, for those Shavey winners who have not received your award prizes, fear not. They will go out next week. The plague slowed down the fulfillment center.

    I see Ol'Shedder continues to earn its name. The remainder of the shave is first rate.

    Thanks Clint!
    Sooner or later it's gotta stop, right? If not - I'll reknot. :)
    It came from a BST on another forum. I don't know whether it was a shedder from the start (kinda doubt it), if the dude beat it around too much, or what the deal is.

    It could be all of the above. You’ve got the right idea. Use it until you it stops or you can’t stand it and then reknot.

    SOTD July 6th
    (No shave pic)

    Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap
    Schick Injector J1
    Vintage Eversharp carbon /Personna(3)
    Yaqi Red Marble Tuxedo (28mm, Destroyer Class)
    Jeeves of Hudson Street Bay Rum
    Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill PSB

    No shave pic today, doesn't matter cause my Friday shave pics are always overshadowed by the TGIF pic. I gave into peer pressure this morning and tried a vintage Eversharp carbon steel Injector blade in my J1. The result? Tuggy. Quickly replaced it with the twice used Personna blade that I had in the J1 to start with and proceed to have a very nice smooth shave. Three passes with the super gooped Jeeves Bay Rum brought home the baby. The Jeeves soap is hanging on much longer then expected. I think I'm going to try to give this CS blade a touch up on the 1 micron lapping film and give it another go. Have a great weekend my friends!

    TGIF!!

    Glad to hear you are in the mend John and things will be back to normal soon!
    Sounds like a great shave Bruce! If it hasn't stopped shedding by now there may not be much hope. I can't stand fibers or hairs in my lather.
