    My Mom is in the hospital with a heart episode. She's had these before but always went home within a few days, but this time she has some lung fluid and in there for the 4th day, so I'm a bit concerned this time around. I'm not really religious but she's Catholic and at church every Sunday, so prayers are okay with me. Sweetest person alive.

    March Madness!!

    March 22
    Razor - Gillette NEW LC
    Blade - [​IMG] (1)
    Soap - Tabac
    Brush - Omega 10066
    Post - Alum

    Next up on our Mild March Madness tour of mild razors - the Gillette NEW LC. I consider this a mild razor in spite of its open comb. I've never had any issues with this razor producing irritation or feeling like it's anything but smooth and a great shave. I own two of these and usually use the Delta Echo version I won in a raffle here. However, I went to my box o' goodies and pulled out the original one I bought in its natural finish. They shave identically, but the Delta Echo just looks a bit cooler in its modern finish.

    Tabac for the lather with the Omega boar. Easy thick and slick lather and three passes went like clockwork with the Supermax Blue Diamond blade. This blade features titanium coating. What's the difference, you ask? What's the advantage of titanium over platinum, or chrome, or PTFE? Nothing that I can tell to be honest. Nice marketing trick, though. Titanium is supposed to last longer, I suppose, but since I'm a three and out blade guy it won't matter to me. Smooth shave, though, and the blade performed very well indeed.

    SLU is playing Virginia Tech at the moment. Well, they're both on the court anyway. Can't say that SLU is much of a threat at this point. They made the tourney by winning the A-10 Conference tournament that they weren't supposed to win. Just getting a first round NCAA game is plenty of reward for that. Have a great Saturday! I'm off until next Thursday so looking forward to some down time from the "day job" and doing a few fun things.

    Friday SOTN

    Another evening and another El Jefe / Feather AC professional shave for #2. No irritation and no weepers today. I'm definitely keeping the baseplate back all the way on the stops. Should I go all weekend with this razor / blade combo? The AOS lemon sandalwood face lathered nicely with the Maggard synthetic brush. I finished off the shave with a nice tingle with the Clubman. Happy weekend everyone.

    I don't have a passport. But I need to renew y Drivers Lic. Maybe I should get one that is Gov. compliant so I can cross the border or even fly in an airplane, or enter a military base. :angry017:

    Saturday Straights' Shave
    zcws.jpg

    Cold Water Rinse
    Green Mountain Balsam Spice Shaving Soap
    T-400 Silvertip
    Classic Samurai
    Astra SP
    CWR
    Granddad's Blend AS

    My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Green Mountain Balsam Spice Shaving Soap face lathered well with T-400 Silvertip brush. I did two passes with the Classic Samurai razor with an Astra SP half blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Granddad's Blend AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
