    Great photo as usual Jim.

    Great shave Perry. The G5 is such a cool color.

    That just shows you strive for perfection. I still stand by my comment, your finished product always amazes me and I love seeing your work displayed on here.

    Very fair and honest comparison Neal, thank you.
    It could be #3 disguised as 1 or 2. I wouldn't worry much as Vlad had probably had his eye and ear on you for some time now and knows you're weakness for Russian steel.

    You gotta love those shaves Jim. I like your choice of gear today also.

    Thank you, Patrick. I've been getting some awesome shaves from the Sabre. I'll use it again tomorrow. I think the blade has another shave left in it, then I'll move on to something else. Probably the Supply.

    I use witch hazel for my cleanup pass when needed. Really nice stuff. That Shick is a beauty also Perry.

    January 24 SOTD:

    Razor: Gillette '41 Ranger Tech
    Blade: Polsilver
    Brush: Ever-Ready 150
    Lather: Arko
    Aftershave: Aqua Velva Ice Blue
    Additional Care:
    Stirling Unscented PSB

    I have skipped a few days of posting, which is almost an insurmountable amount of posts behind on this thread. Skimming though, it looks like some great shaves. This morning's shave was terrific with the Ranger Tech and some Arko. These early Gillette TTO razors are excellent shavers in my opinion. Two passes and a DFS. What more can you really want? I hope everyone has been doing well.

    Supply SE V2 - 2 dot plate
    Schick Proline
    Simpson CH2 Jade Synthetic
    C&S Oxford and Cambridge
    Fine Lavender Aftershave

    [​IMG]​

    I am in my office today so I slept longer and have taken my time this morning. The CH2 is really doing a number on the Oxford & Cambridge soap. I estimate 4-5 more shaves or less and this soap will be done. Three passes and touch ups ended in a perfect BBS shave. The Supply SE is quickly turning into one of my favorite razors. A splash of Fine Lavender and I am to work on financials and tax returns. I hope everyone has a great Thursday.

    Beautiful photo, Clint! Love the rainy background and drops on the gear. Congrats on getting close to finishing another soap!

    That pic is eye candy Clint. Anyone who does tax returns deserves an extra great shave and a little extra sleep.

    I thought it was a fishing lure. Although I admit, fishing lure, and shooting target tend to be my “go to” guesses. Besides if you can successfully catch a fish with it or shoot at it, techically I’m right. That second one is a loophole that pretty much makes me right 100% of the time:).

    Thank you, Clint! The case is made by Parker. I think I got it from Maggards. It holds just about any razor and has a little pocket for some DE blades for travel.
