    Good point. I don't have any of the Gillette TTO OCs, I was only thinking of the 3 pieces I have (Ball end OT, Single Ring OT, New Improved, NEW SC, NEW LC, Goodwill). I still want an OC 'Crat, though!

    Very cool razor and an excellent shave report.

    Love the Declan Hump Day Photo.

    So true. Pull the alarm. This week has been a trash can fire.

    Thank you, Joseph! It is hard to argue with the performance of Arko, even if one doesn't like the scent.

    Just a quick update....

    Monday's shave was a timeless classic- F2 Fatboy and a Spoiler. I was sporting some heavy growth so I bumped the setting from my usual '5' to '6' with excellent results.

    Today's was a more of a modern take- the MingShi Unscrew 3000S, an inexpensive modern Adjustable notable for being mild, paired with a Spoiler. Given the mildness, I decided to go with a setting of '6' on this one as well, resulting in just the slightest bit of blade feel. The result was a very pleasant DFS+ with no issues.

    Sorry about the weeper but I love the prototype. Looking forward to the Timeless OC shave. Declan is enjoying that brownie and he is growing fast. I did not know they put shoulder straps in highchairs now. All my kids had was a seat belt that never got latched.

    Nice couple of shaves John! I would probably pickup a 3000s if it weren't so... ugly. Just my opinion of course.

    Thanks Danny! He has tried to escape before, so he gets the full four point harness.

    No argument, it is definitely aesthetically challenged. I wish I understood why the best Chinese razors have such odd aesthetics.

    Great shave, Joseph! I agree about blooming Williams to get a nice creamy lather. It boils down to my motto, "It is your shave, do it your way!" Williams is a thirsty soap and it needs a plenty of water to properly work.
