February 4, 2020 Rex Ambassador Feather Simpson CH2 Synthetic A&E Frozen Mojitos Myrsol Agua de Limon Between the CH2 Synthetic, aka "The Soap Destroyer" and the Mondial boar, the A&E Frozen Mojitos soap is disappearing at a rapid rate. I am not sure the soap will make it through the week. I may have taken to many pictures this weekend. On to the shave which was much better today, I did open up the cut again today but nothing new. I decided to leave well enough alone and not chase the baby. While not totally blood free, I am pleased with the improvement over yesterday. I hope everyone has a great Tuesday.
Ah! Now I understand! Plus coffee has been added! I have always gone by "Barney." It's an old family nickname for men in the family.
Pretty picture, Clint! I'm sure you'll get the Ambassador figured out in no time. Seeing your Simpson synthetic is making me anxious to get mine. Last tracking update said it's in Chicago. Should arrive in the next day or two.
I wont see greenery like that till April or May Clint. At least you got a better shave than yesterday. Improvement is always good.
Nice shave, Clint. Congrats on the soap being close to done and an improvement over yesterday. The Ambassador looks really cool.
Looks like you found some great blades Patrick! Very neat setups for your shaving! Awesome looking choices Neal! Great Menthol Monday shave. Very cool Tommy!

Birthday SOTD 02/04/20 Wonderful celebration of SWMBO’s birthday last night. Great workout shave this morning with my new SS Synthetic brush birthday present from Classic Shaving. It weighs 15.8 oz which doesn’t sound like much until you start waving it around during the lathering process. One of the pleasures of this month’s focus is the continuing use of MWF, just an incredible soap. I don’t know if it’s the regular post shave wash with brush squeezings or just the daily lathering process itself, but my skin on both noggin and face feel great after four days use. I wonder how I’ll feel at the end of 29 days continuous use? In any case, a stellar shave for my birthday with one of my favorite razors - the GE Jones Shake Sharp Mark 2.0 in nickel. After stacking two original Polish Wizamet Super Iridium blades, I lathered up with my M-Bomb salted MWF, following my regular scrub with PAA’s Preshave Cube of my dome and face. My Shake Sharp sang as it mowed down the whiskers right to the skin line on that first WTG pass. I sometimes wonder if it’s possible to cut oneself with this razor. It hasn’t happened yet. The second ATG pass really only consisted of some scattered buffing cleanup! The Shake Sharp is highly efficient with these sharp blades, but not to the point of irritation as my alum block revealed. The only time I experienced any irritation with this razor was when I used stacked Feather blades. In any case, a stellar one and a half pass DFS shave for my birthday with one of my favorite razors! I feel clean, smooooth and refreshed. RAZOR: GE Jones Nickel Plated Shake Sharp Mark 2.0 BLADE: 2 Stacked Wizamet Super Iridium PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with PAA’s Cube Preshave Soap BRUSH: Rearden Razor 316L SS Synthetic SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by Thayers Lavender WH and finished with Fine Accoutrements Snake Bite AS Splash
