    Well guys.....that works...
    But the shaving experience to me is just do what feels right. I tried to do a set rotation but some days I just need a certain razors love. I have a few favorite razors I normally rotate through but to keep bordem at bay. I just pick one at night if I'm not doing a focus, then see if it seems right come morning. I never ever leave a blade in a razor after I shave so that's not an issue. Oh and a spent GEM SE razor blade makes getting the injector blades out and into the bin.
    I like the ideal of a 3 day runs per razor.
    Thinking about that.
    Great suggestion.
    thanks!

    You are right. The girls bought me the Guerlain Vetiver. I will not buy the Fine Vetiver aftershaves when I finish each bottle. I plan to use my witch hazel with menthol followed by different Edt choices.

    I have none of the above at the moment. I do have the Stirling R4L set, which is another take on Grey Vetiver. I will be buying the original sooner or later.

    I have the Stirling R4L soap and aftershave as well. I would have thought it was based on something different since it is opens with more green or citrus than the Fine Fresh.

    No time for pictures after the shave job.
    Things are moving quick here, brother in law is in his last days maybe last hours. Man, he was driving and working the week of mothers day.

    I found 2 razors, both MMOC's at an antique shop yesterday, so I cleaned them up and used one of them this morning. They cleaned up rather nice, the brass one is looking fine.
    Used Razorock XXX and my favorite Omega badger brush. Things went well except for a pimple on the right side of the chin. I must have gotten into something because I broke out last night. So the blemish is no more, so I can report, but it did bleed somewhat. Other than that it was an uneventful shave.

    Not to bad looking for $10 if I do say myself.
    Gives a great shave too.
    To all
    Enjoy

    Nice little Schick.

    Need a little help identifying this little $5.00 Gillette. :) Has a little plate loss on the doors and the twist knob but should clean up nice.
