    I don't think you will find a better soap for the price. I would order some but I have enough to last a while. Have a great day.

    Happy to be back home. Kept rolling with the Tech this morning, and used some faves that maybe have been neglected a bit lately. Everything worked as it should and I am quite smooth. Not smelling too badly either.
    Have a great day, all!

    NCoxSTL AAACK!

    BBQ research is a field that has always been to my liking as well. It's rarely an endeavor that disappoints. Although some places in the country really do need some help. (I'm looking at YOU North Dakota).

    Wednesday morning April 17 - Rule shave #27 - shaving drunk

    Delta Echo refurbished Gillette Fatboy on 4 / Rapira Swedish Supersteel (1)
    Simpsons CH2 Chubby Synthetic Bristles brush
    MWF/Kent in beechwood tub
    Alum and Polar Ice Booster splash

    I couldn't sleep last night after I got off call after midnight, so I did something I don't normally do and had a very large sherry to put myself to sleep. (I rarely drink any alcohol.) Then when I woke just before dawn, I foolishly had a few more before going back to bed. When I got up early this morning and decided to shower and shave to brace myself, I was not what I would consider sober. So I had a unique opportunity to test the age old question: can one safely shave with a safety razor while drunk?

    The answer is Yes. There might be some question about which image in the mirror one wants to shave, so closing the eyes and shaving blind might help, but ultimately, if one holds the razor lightly in a couple fingers to ensure No Pressure, Technique will triumph.

    Two passes, no errors, no complaint from the alum, DFS. Then I went back to bed for a couple hours and was sober enough to post.

    It just proves the Three Ts again: Technique Trumps Teatotalling... Doesn't do much for the hangover though...
