  1. Beautiful picture, Andrew! Love the brush. The razor sounds interesting.
    Thank you, Blair!
  2. Great shave, Andrew, and beautiful gear!

  3. Thanks for the encouragement, everybody, and sorry for some of the brief responses. It'll probably be like that through the weekdays for me, but know I appreciate and learn from everything you all share :D
  4. Thanks, Gary! It’s a good shaver!

  7. Thanks, Andrew! If you’re seriously interested, I know a source selling several. They are premium priced though. I bought mine from a friend on another site for a great price, but it needed a lot of work!
  8. That'll be fun and interesting to do.
  9. Thanks, Patrick!

  10. Thanks, Blair! Yeah, M-Bomb is great stuff! I’m on my second bottle.

  11. Great shave, Andrew! I never go beyond two shaves on any DE blade.

  12. Cool Razor Danny! Great report and image too!

    Nice image, setup and shave Gary! Menthol Monday cold water...where you are? Um....not me (yeah, wimp I am). Maybe at the end of July (when it's 108 daily) and the tap water is 78+ degrees.

    Love the report and thoughts on your shave Tim!

    Cool looking razor though...love that brush too!
  13. Welcome home, Jeff! I agree! The Shake Sharp is a very nice razor!
  14. Great looking razor and brush Andrew! Love the report!
  15. Great shave report, Blair! I’m on a two pass BBS roll for the reason you list! The AS-D2, the Occam’s and the Red Ring all delivered very close shaves, but I continue to shave every day!
  16. Thanks Patrick!
    Thanks Jim!
    Thank you, Tim!
    Thanks Jeff! I will usually go 4 shaves unless im really pushing a blade.
    Thank you, Blair!
  17. Great shave report, Tim. The MMOC can be a challenging tool, but once you get it dialed in, it’s a great shaver!
  18. You, sir, have arrived. Seriously Terry, there are popsicle stick razors and things welded in Patrick's @9nein9 kitchen that look more shave ready than that paper clip/safety bar special. Well done getting good shaves from it!
    A true menthol Monday shave, Jim. Excellent photo as always.
    Seriously, Tom, you have some of the most unique software. Awesome Menthol Monday combo.
    Love the look of that Thater beehive, Clint. If I remember, is that one that you are moving on from?
    We should get a comprehensive ranking of Old Spice dupes started, Jim. I think we'd see some interesting opinions. We could do the same with Clubman dupes except the rankings would only range from 'Not as cheap as the Original' to 'I'm single again, how did that happen'.
    That does sound like a great shave, Perry. Nice pic as well.
    Love the look of the Eclipse, Jeff. Interesting comparison to the Occam's DE. I can see how the baseplates would look similar.
    Just an all around great collection of hard and software today, Joseph. Whatever 'list' I may still have, the original 400 is still on it...
    Dermisectomy! Great expression. Yes, we do dramatize our shaves a bit, but a little red adds to the write up sometimes for sure...
    Great to see your post, Danny. That razor sounds like a winner for sure.
    Very interesting handle on that Monobloc, Gary. Very unique for Gillette, I think. Wonderful looking shave and you were very brave to go with a cold water shave today!
    The John Frum sounds outstanding, Blair. Very unique scent profile.
    I trust the new semester will start out well tomorrow, Tim.
    Me too, but not all that actively.
    Interesting franzenrazor experiment, Andrew. Are you going to try a few different combinations?
  19. Great shave today, Evan! Can’t beat a Feather blade! Pressure and Feathers do not go well together.
  20. It is 24 dollars now. I guess you mistyped.
