    I’m very happy with the Toggle, I like it more than I expected.

    I always do a few laps on FeO3 before before each shave.

    Only the watch, no money left after that impulse purchase.

    So true

    Up and me very early this morning with a late morning post. The big Zenith boar brush whipped up a rich slick lather easily. The scent of the Frozen Mojitos really made me wish I could skip work today. Three passes and touch ups with buffing ended in a drama free BBS shave. I hope everyone has a wonderful Monday.

    Actually, it is Fe2O3 and it is known as iron (III) oxide or iron 3 oxide.

    Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap
    EDRIO#96 RazoRock Lupo
    Gillette Platinum
    Epsilon White Horse (26mm, Frigate Class)
    Stirling Glacial Lemony Orange soap and AS

    I was in the mood for as big dose of menthol for this menthol Monday and it's sure hard to beat GLO. First shave with the RR Lupo, the first thing that I noticed what that it has a huge window of available angle adjustment. I started off with too steep of and angle and the shave was a bit tuggy. This might not have been an issue with a sharper blade, but I've always felt that the Gillette Platinum was not quite as sharp as some of the other PPI offerings. Needless to say, once I adjusted to a shallower angle (ride the cap) the shave smoothed out tremendously. After two passes all I needed was a bit of touch up to bring the baby home. This razor is deceptively efficient. I wouldn't say that it is more then medium aggressive in terms of blade feel but in terms of efficiency it competes with the likes of the ATT H2 and Blackland Blackbird IMO and perhaps might even be more efficient then the Game Changer .84. I will be curious to see how this razor performs with other blades.

    Have a great day my friends!

    I haven't shaved since Thursday and wanted to break out the Barbasol razor. I was looking forward to this being a spectacular shave after a round 60 mile round trip overnight bicycle camping trip on the hottest weekend of the year. Unfortunately, it was not. I don't use the razor enough to have the muscle memory with the shave. My angle was slightly off and shave was not as close as it could have been. 2 passes, close enough, minimal irritation, with one weeper. Not the best, far from the worst. Enjoy your day.

    Sorry to hear that the shave wasn't what you were going for, Dale.

    I probably would have gone with a yellow brush. Green is a little too obvious.
