    Thank you, Clint!
    I think it will be fun.
    I'm just doing razors and soaps. Neil @NCoxSTL was randomizing brushes and blades along with soaps and razors.

    Good morning, men!
    Just finished my shave.
    My random pick was my 1968 (N4) Gillette Slim Adjustable.
    Rockwell Blade
    Semogue OC Badger
    Stirling Coconut Lime SS
    Stirling Coconut Lime AS.

    The Semogue did a nice job creating a great lather for my shave. I don't use this brush as often as I do with my other two brushes and I don't have a good reason why that is the case. It's ironic that I prefer my very inexpensive brushes over this high end Semogue. Anyway, let me get back on track with my shave report. I enjoy the Coconut Lime scent because it is clean and refreshing. The Gillette Slim (9) really mowed down my 36 hr stubble. Did 3 passes and got a very nice BBS shave without any wounds or irritation. Topped the shave with the matching AS. If I wasn't an avid straight razor shaver, then I would be happy shaving with this razor as one of my daily drivers. I think the Slim doesn't get enough praise compared with the Fatboy and the colored tips.
    This shave was outstanding.
    Have a great day, fellas! 20190611_220325.jpg 20190611_220325.jpg

    Great shave, Jason! I like my Omega brush alot! It is soft, but still has some backbone.

    Robert, super post and pick! It is amazing how each soap will react differently.

    Tatara Masamune
    Feather
    Thäter 4125/3
    A&E L’Orange Verte
    Fine L’Orange Noir Aftershave

    [​IMG]​

    The week is going by very quickly. Up and moving earlier this morning. I have my yearly followup with the gastroenterologist this morning. I really like the performance and the scent of the A&E L'Orange Verte soap. Three passes and touch ups ended in another drama free BBS shave. The Tatara SB is pretty much no on automatic. A splash of Fine L'Orange Noir and I am off to fight Atlanta traffic on the top end. I hope everyone has a great Wednesday .

    Thanks Danny, it actually isn't as bad as I was expecting, I only have to rip out 1/4 of the floor instead of all of it.
    I should have the sub floor done today, fingers crossed, and re install the tub.

    I recommend that you all check the calking around the tub or shower in your bathroom, it will save a lot of work in the future for sure.

    I hate Dr offices for that reason. They all think there time is more important than yours.
