turtle wax.. secret ingredient... they do look similar..but the stirling rocks..for wax i prefer meguiars,,

Wonderful haul from @BaylorGator. I worked out a deal for Soapy Science Unscented and the Jeeves 30DC set. Being the nice guy he is (enabler, perhaps) he threw in a few more items. Love the generosity of this crew!



Blood on Steel smells great! Reminds me a little of the new Haverford scent from Stirling, but with less vanilla or less sweetness.

hello rick, i will stick to de at present,my wife got me a karve for christmas .but has yet to arrive,, i don t trust my hand/ eye at present to try shavettes/ straights.i would like to do at least one rule for the team so i will plan something that fits..

congrats on the new job sir.. i worked as a maintenance mechanic on handy dart buses and felt very good about working on them and keeping them safe for their passengers..

Thanks, Jim! Satsuma is a new scent to me. Nice citrus scent. Rod does a great job with all the various citrus scents.

Satsuma smells like Sweet Tarts to me. When my sample's gone it will be a full sized purchase.

Congratulations on the new shiny and cool looking razor.

Thursday Decadent December Shave

Today's razor is a Jwest razor I pick up for a great price, Nichiri 6/8 full hollow. While this is a plane Jane, non-famous J West I picked to show you don't need to spend big bucks for a decadent shave. There are many JWest and US made razors that can be bought for a reasonable price and deliver decadent shaves.

The edge was fantastic and nailed another epic shave. I was inspired after seeing to 30DC'ers using Guerlain Vetiver.... so me too.

Irritation A+ Closeness A+ Smoothness A+ Sharpness A+

Razor: Nichiri 6/8 full hollow
Strop: Herrold Russian leather

Thanks a bunch!

The blood on steel is one really good scent, and also lathers up very easily. Enjoy.

After an exceptionally long day today, I apologize for not commenting on each post individually. It was a pleasure to read the great shave reports and see photos Gents.

Thank you Jim.

I got a K1 Flare tip in today. This is a birth razor. It cleaned up great. My four year old granddaughter loves to help me clean old razors up. She loves to operate the tto knob and brush their "teeth".

Nice setup Keith. Just shows how you don’t really need any frills to get a great shave.

Good times, Danny! Thanks for sharing.

I've been at it 4 years so I feel like I'm qualified to speak to that statement. At what point do you really start saving money? After two years? Sure, we'll go with that.

thats cool ..

Sure that was an excuse to get into wet shaving ...........I'll save money but we are having more fun than humans are allowed to have!
