    Freezing rain here this morning, time for a nice menthol shave I guess.

  3. February 4

    Gillette 7 O'Clock PII Trac II
    Personna Twin II Plus Cartridge (4)
    B-400 by Tom handle w/Envy White Supreme Two-band
    C.O. Bigelow
    Alum, Thayers WH & USB
    Focus detour # 4


    I completed the fourth and final shave of my focus detour, and I plan to return to the Parker SRX tomorrow for shave no. 31. Today was Menthol Monday, and the B-400 by Tom whipped up a ton of C.O. Bigelow lather. Two passes plus some touch-ups ensued, and I'm near BBS. The Trac II is easy to use and always provides a wonderful shave. I'm off to run an errand with my Bride, and then we get to see our kiddos.

    Have a fantastic day!

  13. Quick adjustable slim ( in lieu of fat boy) report..... I had razor set on 6 with new voshkod razor. I even used the riding the cap technique with cautious soft handed multiple pass shave yesterday. Well my face is still a bit irrirtated today, my face feels a bit tore up , Or toe’ up as we say in the south. Pretty much similar results before I sold an adjustable aristocrat. Maybe I’m spoiled by decent straight razor shaves.
  14. Fantastic photo Charlie. Have fun with the kids.

  17. I learned from today's shave that Barbasol works better with a scented A.S. Yesterday, I used Stoylin Unscented with it, and while both are fine products individually, I wasn't impressed using them together.

  18. Thanks Patrick! I have about 95 left, but when I get my model T razor then I have to add five to whatever is remaining.

    RazoRock 400 Noir Plissoft Synthetic Shaving Brush
    Salsa Bowl / Timeless bowl scuttle
    RazoRock What the Puck – Orange Sunrise
    CVS SE Blade
    Ever-Ready Shovelhead on a Weber Bulldog Handle
    Nivea Post Balm
    Pinuad Clubman Classic

    Second test run of the shovelhead this morning. This a great razor and does an amazing job.
    No weepers or nicks. Just a nice comfortable shave with very little alum burn. I completed two passes and cleaned up a few areas on the neck.
    Finished up with some Nivea post balm and Clubman classic

    Y'all take care and have a great day!

  20. Maybe you should use a different blade or lower the setting.
