Today's shave was with a Japanese "Pimp Stick". It has the bling, but definitely Not on my top ten. It delivers a good shave, but I expect better. I had an OK 2 pass shave, with a few touch-ups, that left me with a DFS. Not the usual for Japanese Steel.

Razor- KYOEI, Extra Steel
Brush- Omega 10098
Soap- Arko/Sandalwood scented
Aftershave- Shulton Old Spice. Telescope Decanter.

Spent some time grating up a puck of Williams and pressing it around another puck in the Old Spice mug. Had a wonderful shave today, two passes and touch up for a very smooth and comfortable BBS shave.

 

Good picture and lineup Jim.

Hi friends, sorry I've been gone for a bit. The baby is coming in a few days and it's been hectic here. Nice, quick and refreshing shave this morning. Have a great day friends.

 

Good luck with the new born as soon as it gets here. Nice picture Roby.

 

Thanks very much Doug. Have a great day my friend.

 

Thank you Douglas, it shaves great.

 

Great setup Steve. I may be in the minority but i like that soap just fine.

 

This will be my second time there. The first was some years ago. I did an open water kayak crossing from the Canadian side and then a circumnavigation and camping for a week with some friends before returning. No kayaking over miles of 1000+ feet deep 42 degree water this time. I’m a little saner now. Taking the ferry from Copper Harbor.

 

Sane, we'll that's no fun.
