  1. Thank you, Clint! Excellent food go to today as usual.
  2. Thank you, Joe!
  3. Not sure, Paul. Never tried the original. I’ve heard the current English Leather is a terrible reformulation.
  4. Oh ok. I had the MEM version, as a raffle prize here. Wasn't quite what I(and my nose)recalled from the original.

  6. It is going to be one of those days. Power is out at the office. I guess there was an accident nearby that caused the issue. Estimated to take over an hour to repair. So much for being productive today.

  7. Nice shave and picture, Joe!
  8. What do you do when that happens? Head home and work remotely or wait it out?

  9. Good post. 10g of soap/30 shaves? IMO, that's an unusually small amount of lather. I average 2-3g/shave. It's no wonder that you weren't always satisfied with your lather. MORE SOAP. It's cheap.

  10. Love the CC and the CH2, Clint.
  11. Great shave, Joe. What's your issue with the RT?
  12. Can you say: "Play Hooky"?
  13. I usually try to wait it out.

  14. I use 2-3 g pee shave of harder soaps. With artisan soaps it can be as much as 5-6 grams per shave.

    BAUME.BE~~Simpson Duke 3~~Dovo Best~~Old Spice Lime
    Even with a run on the stones, this Dovo is not thrilling me. Snags a lot when going ATG.
    Not one of my best edges, despite what the razor says.
    Today's cream was a sloshy, running mess of loveliness.
    I put some product in my bowl and with a fairly wet Duke 3 went to town.
    At first I thought, I have ruined this soap, so bubbly and watery it was...but...

    I ket at it and it eventually cane together; the air bubbles turned into microfilm and the results
    were spot on. Highly recommend this cream, especially for SR shavers.
    Could not remove all of the 24 hour growth, resulting in a DFS- shave.
    God enough for government work, as they say.
    The Old Spice Lime woke my skin up with a nice burn.
    The double-splash has dried down and the lime scent in the Old Spice base is wonderful.
