    NCoxSTL AAACK!

    I'm not sure whether to say CONGRATS or HERETIC! So - congrats you heretic! I've been trying to regain my composure as well after the past year's explosion of soaps. I have settled on a particular brand I prefer, as well as a couple of old favorites, so perhaps I can start by working through some of the "extra" stock of soaps I don't plan to keep using all that much if at all.

    Figaro Sapone Speciale
    Dominica Grand Bay Rum

    A change of pace for the weekends with the Gem Damaskeene Open Comb. With a wonderful lather and time, I went with a traditional three pass shave. The C40 whipped up a wonderful lather easily. The sample is done but for a very small remnant that I pushed into the Stirling Bay Rum Sample. Thanks again @Primotenore for the sample. With touch ups and buffing my neck, I ended up with a perfect BBS shave. SE razors just seem to do a better job on my neck. A splash of Grand Bay and I am ready for a relaxing day at home. I hope everyone has a wonderful Saturday.

    SharptoothC I bite..........

    That may be the nicest thing I've ever been called. Thanks! I'm not getting down to one brand, but I am whittling down to a handful that I already know I like, and avoiding the need to try everything that comes out. I can probably shave for ten years on what I currently have. I'm gonna try to PIF a couple, sell a few, maybe get into trades or splits or some such. I am reaching an age and life stage where simple is starting to sound really, really appealing.

    I shaved this morning with Hendrix Barbershop sample, Schick I1, Stirling Kong synthetic, and Fine American Blend. No time for a photo!

    Away game last night and didn't get home until just before midnight. Band contest today in Troy, Alabama which is about a 2.5 hour ride each way from our school. Going to be a long day! I'll get home probably 1:00 or 1:30am. Last contest of the season!

    Great shaves and discussion on here as usual!

    Gorgeous razor Brian. With those scales the brush and razor are a perfect pairing.

    Finally home again. Tried out a new Chubby 2 Super with my Hart Steel 6/8. Trying to kill a 1 oz Oleo sample to no avail.
