    Click HERE for the article. I guess in looking at it again they weren't ranked. Might just be in alphabetical order, but it was included nonetheless.

    Thanks Gary. Roof seen better days and I think the wind finished the job off. Just talking to a guy about buying steel from him and ending anymore days of worrying about shingles when I'm 85 and can't climb on roof anymore.

    Thank you Charlie....I hope this strategy continues to work for me. North to South on the neck feels strange but do you know of others who do it thast way??

    Thanks, Joseph. Shave strategies can be awkward, just so long as they work best, eh?

    Sept 10th

    Proraso PS Red
    Saponificio Varesino Felce Aromatica SS
    30DC v2 Brush (Jason) w/Omega 10098 boar knot
    Ralf Aust 5/8
    Wholly Kaw Fougère Bouquet AS
    Gentleman John's Alum

    2.5 pass DFS today. Not much to report, other than an awesome brush, lather (aroma!), and blade was used. Incredible products, every one of them 30DC enabled, or the 'What Straight did you use Today' enabled. Took care swiping across (90 degrees to the direction) of the scratch from yesterday. Just a slight weeper from it. DFS smooth all over and smelling wonderful, weeper was dispatched with the GJ Alum. I normally show the back of the Aust....that scale is a little more charismatic. Showing the front etching today, as it is very nicely done, and deeper than most other etchings on blades from other manufacturers (at least for the couple that I have with blade etchings). It's deep enough that you can see/feel the material removed from the process.

    Hope everyone has a terrific Tuesday!

    Very good article for us men. Interesting he picks the Green for his best Polo, but with the description I can see why. The fact that he has Bleu De Chanel up there drives me a bit crazy, as I'm afraid I wasn't that impressed with Stoylin's dupe of it. Maybe this will change.

    Mmmm iced pineapple!
    Beautiful razor Matthew!
    Excellent lineup!
    Wonderful progress! I'm gonna say that sometime within the next 8 shaves you will catch the baby!
    Those are some fantastic setups Keith
    Beautiful shot Jim! Feels the same with a Derby?!?!
    Wonderful shave Terry! The MM will bite given the chance.
    Awesome shave Perry! Love DBS!
    Have I mentioned that iced pineapple is pure joy?
    Awesome photo Clint! I'm be curious to see how the knot and the fibers compare in the two brushes.
    Do to have a napkin so I can wipe the drool off my face? Wowza!
    Awesomelicious!
    Excellent shave Gary!
    Great shot Jason!
    Top shelf Joseph!
    Very nice Bill!
    The Personna mini hair shapers are the same as the Personna Injector blades except the magazine doesn't have a key so you have to cross load them into a keyed Injector to use them in anything later then an E2. Same with the Schick Proline B-20's but I find the Proline blades are the sharpest option for injectors. You can also get the Schick Injector blades (yellow box) which are very nice but kinda pricey. This was in party to answer your question Gary @brit
    Awesome, Awesome, Awesome!

    Thank you, Andrew!

    I figured I would test the new razor with the two accepted extremes in blade sharpness. If there was a difference it was too subtle for me to tell. A surprising result to be sure. I just can't get over how smooth this razor is.

    September Stirling & SE?

    Sugar Bowl of Frankensoap Goodness
    SP↣2 Cypress & VS Black badger
    Suribachi bowl and cool water
    RazoRock German 37 Slant
    Maggard #18 SS handle
    Voskhod Blade; second shave
    Avon Spicy aftershave
    SOTD 09102019 ABT#5.gif 'Nother round with the ever mutating bucket of soap scraps. Tried it with a badger knot. It works! Having a fairly fresh blade in the new to me scalloped cap & base Slant DE I made the easy choice. Loving the blade exposure! Three passes & a little touch up. No errors even though I could feel the weight of the heavy handle. It made me choose to use less pressure. Tried a new vintage post shave product; It's an Old Spice dupe from the king (queen?) of copying other makers stuff. I can sniff out the Shulton but it's got a little more clove / bay rum than my preference. Didn't wash it off but I'll not be looking for more in the wild. Might check with my grand daughter Melody since she like the O.S. AS.
    Good Shaves Y'all!

    I haven’t done it, Rick, but others have said there is a way to get those blades into an injector case/cartridge
