  2. Very nice shave to start the week, Jim. I really enjoy using my FB with a Voskhod.

    C.O. Bigelow is a great cream. I catch it on sale when the large tubes sell 3 for $20. It's easy to find a coupon on your phone which knocks $10 off a $40 order. You could buy 3 tubes of C.O. Bigelow and some stuff for your Bride...oh, what am I thinking?...You can get 6 tubes for C.O. Bigelow for $30. That's a great deal!

    As long as we're sitting around knitting and gossiping, we might as well share coupon tips.

    Have a great week, Jim, and keep those electrons flowing at the refinery. Happy Birthday to your Bride! Have fun this evening.

    OneBlade Genesis V1
    Feather FHS
    Shavemac 400 Silvertip D01 Two Band
    MDC Original "Le Bol en Bois"
    Stirling Soap Co. Black Ice Witch Hazel & Aloe
    CRSW Juniper AS
    ADP Ginepro di Sardegna

    Happy Monday everyone! No drama Oneblade Genesis shave, two passes +cleanup = near perfect result. MDC Brain Bowl hanging tough, down to the last few grams. Shavemac D01 Two Band 400 is another lather eater trying to each the bottom of the bowl. Great menthol splash of Black Ice WH, a healthy spritz of CRSW Juniper, and later some ADP Ginepro and I'm ready for the day. Smooth, sweet smelling, and totally refreshed. Have a great shave mates!

  7. Well, the water wasn't it's usual warmth(see my past posts about a boiler going out in my bldg.)but I managed all right. Middle round of 3 for the Stoylin Spice(both soap and A.S.). I find that I can work the brush faster on my neck than on my cheeks and chin. That's interesting. This will be an ongoing investigation/experiment. But just another dolphin-fine shave; what I'd expect from Stoylin.

  10. Nice job, Terry!
    Excellent shot Perry!
    Awesome photo, Jim! And happy birthday to the Mrs!
    Jim, Is it possible that I enabled you into the IBC and now you are cross enabling me with your amazing photos of it ? Does this mean I am enabling myself ?!?!?
    Fantastic photo, Clint!
    Great photo, Mark! That last bit of soap is really hanging on!
    Beautiful setup, Brian!

  11. Thank you Perry. Swati gave me three different shave bowls for Christmas. Since I don’t really bowl lather, I need to use them in photos occasionally.

  14. Y'know,, Andrew, I've been(and will no doubt continue to be)a "self-enabler" in here muhself.
  15. What goes around comes around, Andrew.
    I would highly recommend the IBC. It's the best shavette I've ever used.

  16. I checked with my co-worker first thing this morning about how his shave went with the Slim and the Vohskod blades this week end. He was grinning and said that he got in two shaves with it this week end and was wanting to dial it up a little. He was also asking where he could order some more Voskhods. He is just using Barbasol right know and had no weepers or nicks. I encouraged him to keep on plugging like he was for a while and when he I got ready I would help him with some recommendations on a brush and soap. I feel like a proud dad this morning.:happy093:
