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.

July Focus

Same two leading roles this month:
Tallow Williams
2011 Mühle R41 loaded with the ever popular Personna 74 Tungsten, making its umpteenth appearance.
Guest stars for today's episode:
Morris & Forndran Polo 2, sporting its Finest Fur"
and, directly from the Spanish stage:
Myrsol Emulsion
(cue applause)
Prologue
Mr. Williams and Mr. Morris & Forndran took at short, warm bath (separately of course)
Myrsol applied itself to the beard area.
~~~~~~
Act I, scene i
M&F (as he likes to be called) loaded up with the fatty, moist Mr. Williams, who, as usual, appeared to be rather soused.
Aside: this is an ongoing issue, which has been brought up with Mr. Williams' agent.
scene ii
M&F, in a calm and relaxed manner, worked Mr. Williams thoroughly all over the stage. (exit M&F)
scene iii
(Enter R41)
With delicate ease, R41 moved from upstage right to downstage right; repeating this motion as he worked from stage right to stage left.
Amazingly, R41 was able to maintain a curious angle which almost appeared to the audience as if he were floating on his head!
(thunderous applause)
(cue water)
Curtain
~~~~~
Intermission
~~~~~~
Act II, scene i
After M&F circumnavigates the stage, suddenly and without warning, he unloads his entire supply of Mr. Williams!
Pirouetting and with gay abandon, M&F floods the entire stage.
(The audience goes berserk)
scene ii
R41's makes his second and FINAL appearance for this morning's production.
(It was decided by the producer and director, that this show has been dragging too long and has all too often,
left the audience bloodied and battered.
In the interest of quality entertainment, the show's running time was shortened by 1/3)
R41 was choosy in his stage movement, while still maintaining that unique style of his, he moved around the stage like Barishnikov,
or even, if it may be said, Nureyev.
The audience is standing, cheering, calling for more!
But the curtain is pulled.

Epiloge

Mr. Myrsol cleaned up the stage.

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!

(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!!

Thanks, Bruce.

My leg is healing really well. I had X-rays and a check last Thursday and all the bone jigsaw pieces are healing back together cleanly. I have another week on crutches with no weight on the leg, then two weeks "ghostwalking" with the crutches still as I gradually increase the weight on the leg, and then I should be back to walking around normally (and driving - yay!). So by the end of July I should be down to a cane at most and back to my normal lifestyle.

Glad to hear you are in the mend John and things will be back to normal soon!

Same setup today as yesterday....
Rockwell
Nacet (6)
Simpson Commodore X3 (Ol' Shedder)
VDH soap
Stirling Gentleman AS

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!

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.

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!
Nureyev? Not the usual Russians that get referenced on here...

Thank you, Jason! It is definitely hard to go wrong with this razor!

Just kidding. There's no rush. I probably have enough soap to get me through until my samples arrive. Take care of yourself and the little ones.

The good news is since no one claimed the other sample set, you may end up with more samples than you planned.

Of course. In fact, I save my popsicle sticks for just this occasion!

Of course not. I'm sane.

I'll think about it but I'm too busy eating cookies.
