Thanks, Jeff. I sang professionally for about 37 years, teach voice and am a freelance opera stage director.

Thank you, Tim. Regardless of the famous name, the product is top-tier.

I agee 100% Keith. Its a performer for sure . Leaves my skin feeling good after.

The Deb was designed more for the legs I think Terry. Try it again and report back on your results . I do believe Fuzzy @wchnu says in his vids that its a mild shaver . Have a great day!

Too bad the Deb didn't work out for you, nice save though!

I sing professionally in the shower . I love the thunderous aplause when someone bangs on the door or adjoining wall rapidly. Figaro Figaro ,

Good morning

Terrific shave to start the day! Three passes for near BBS. Light tickle from the alum.

Shave two with the CG and I am happy! Looking forward to shave three!

Zenith badger arrived yesterday, put to use this morning. Though not nearly as dense or as soft as my SHD knots, it is a fine brush. I'll continue on with it for a while. I'll defunk it with use.

Harvest Moon today. Wonderful scent! Love it!

Friday greetings to all! I so enjoyed my shave yesterday, that I decided to repeat it! I usually fall back on my favorite MWF, but that wonderful Anise scent from the Stirling Glacial Obsidian reminds me of a favorite gum from my childhood, Blackjack, which my grandfather, a WWI Marine vet always used to always carry! Blackjack chewing gum finally returned in 2018 and is as delicious as it has ever been. This old-fashioned gum established multiple “firsts” upon its invention in 1884 in the United States. With its black licorice taste, Blackjack was the first flavored gum available in America. I realized that it stoked very good memories of fishing with him as a small boy! As it turns out, I ‘m now a grandfather and have outlived him by a decade and a year.
Anyway, back to this great shave! BBS all around as yesterday! I’m really enjoying the new Jayaruh Custom Silvertip Badger with the extended Rosewood handle. It whipped up a generous lather allowing that lovely Anise scent to waft around enhancing what turned out to be a luxurious, thick, glistening, protective lather! I don’t know whether it’s half a century of wet shaving experience or just the razors, but I’ve never cut or nicked myself with either the Lupo or Silversmith. I feel clean, smooooth, coool, and refreshed. I’m really looking forward to spending time with my grandson this afternoon.

Wonderful shave report, Jim. Is that a copper razor? Beautiful pic! Glad you’re enjoying the new razor! They have a rep as great shavers as your report confirms. Enjoy your day!

Excellent report, Jeff! Thanks for sharing the memories!

Thank you!
Yeah, it's a copper razor. I felt the need to get a copper brush to go along with it.

Thanks, Joe!

Good to know! Not quite as critical with a safety razor, but focus is still key! Besides the part of my shave I enjoy the most is focus and moving through the process in a relaxed and steady way! Muscle memory allows us to shift our focus from the visual to the olfactory and back to the tactile.

Great picture, Terry!

Thanks, Jim!

Outstanding picture, Jim! The brush and razor pair so well together.
