    thanks Danny!

    Thanks Joe! I enjoy the Poraso a lot, it is a great soap, what makes it better for me is I got it for less than $5 at TJ maxx! they had some of the tubs last time I was there but the cream smelled better so I grabbed it. I also have lots of soaps and only had two creams, needed to up that number!

    I am feeling pretty lazy this morning and moving slow. I guess that is to be expected for a Wednesday. The Savonniere du Moulin in shave stick form is working great for me. I rubbed a good bit on my face and then went to it with the "Soap Destroyer". I had a rich slick lather in no time at all. Three passes and touch ups had the baby in sight so I decided to buff my lower right neck. That move erased any remaining stubble. A splash of Fine Italian Citrus and I am off to work today. I hope everyone has a great Wednesday.

    Keith, sorry about the delays and rebookings to get back to Asia. Anyway, glad you got home in one piece and that you got a great shave from your Friodur.

    Going to TRY and play catch up! Family, work, pet (ER visit, pancreatitis), life, the universe and everything has overwhelmed my time since last Thursday. Only 1000 posts behind. Hopefully I caught all my direct quotes....if not, apologies!

    Thank You Gary!

    Thanks Clint. Just trying to keep up! The photography bar is high around here :)

    Anything that keeps me not sitting and honing.....is a good thing, even if it's just a 10 minute refresh on an edge.

    Thank you Jim!

    Thanks for the kind words Keith! I'm really the Japanese grind so far. Less blade flex, and quieter to use. Just works well!

    I may revisit the WSP Formula T Sandalwood and first time try the C&F Sandalwood this week. Stay tuned.....

    Thank You Danny!

    Sincerely appreciated Andrew!

    I think I have the rest of my week planned. WSP Sandalwood, C&F Sandalwood, and then the PAA again.

    Thank you Jim!

    06/26/2019 – Focus Shave #13 for June

    RazoRock 400 Noir Plissoft Synthetic Shaving Brush
    Timeless Lather Bowl Scuttle
    Fine Accoutrements – Snake Bite
    Astra SP
    Gillette K1 1965 Tech
    Univinlions (Kai Clone) with Feather Pro Blade
    Nivea Post Balm
    Pinuad Clubman Classic

    I broke out another birth razor today and the little Tech is just an amazing razor.

    I completed one pass on the cheeks and necks with the Univinlions. The Univinlions gave me a weeper on the neck but nothing I will not live through. That is the first time Uni has bit me. I completed a second pass and a few touch ups with the Tech and this one was in the bag. The only place the alum was warm was on the weeper but everywhere else it was silent. Overall it was great shave. The Fine soap was fine as usual.....good stuff!

    Finished up with Nivea post balm and a splash of Clubman Classic.

    Great day in Dixie! Hope everyone has a great hump day and it is hard to believe that this month is almost over.
