    Back to the ‘all 30DC’ combo. Also switched back to the full comb mild plate on the Occam’s. Whipped up an exceptional lather with the CF, which I load like a soap rather than a cream.
    This has a much narrower cutting range than the scalloped bar, but still did a good job. 3 passes later and I am off to finish the week. After a very long day yesterday, I could use with a little shorter one today.
    Have a great day all!
  2. Great shaves, Joe and Tommy!

  3. Good for you that you survived it!! I contribute to an organization that teams animals and volunteers to visit hospital patients, elderly seniors in their homes, and the like.
  4. Lovely shave, Jason! The pic and the lineup are outstanding!

  5. Wonderful picture and shave, Jason! Love the bright green!
    I'm hoping for a quick uneventful Friday myself.

  7. I returned to Clubman Original A.S. today, while finishing off my threefer of Central Texas Soap's Grandpa's Barbershop. 2 passes, the second of which was much needed along the right side of my neck. The Jayaruh #59 was the brush of use. Really loaded well. I'm in good shape for Clubman products for the future. A good part of my Den is made up of Stoylin, Clubman, and CTS. Anyway, I had a small weeper, but nothing to be scared about. Very Excellent.

  10. Gorgeous set up, Gary! Back to the beautiful blues (blue and silver is my favorite color combo :D).

    I know exactly how you feel about keeping things simple. I recently realized that with the addition of a shavette, I'll only have room for two of my razors instead of three. I want one of those razors to be an adjustable, but the Parker Variant failed to deliver this morning... yet again. I may only keep one of these razors, after all.

  11. Stunning, Jim! Absolutely stunning. The Veg, eh? So you are one of the chosen. I'm too scared to try... fear of rejection, and all :happy102:
  12. Beautiful photo and shave, Clint! Fantastic news about the Rex as well--it's been great watching you master that razor this month :D

  13. Fantastic results from a mere 1 1/2 passes! MWF must be wonderful soap if it's getting you do forego the PAA Cube ;)

    Wonderful report, Jeff! :D

  14. Thank you, Tim!

    I wasn't chosen right off. We didn't give up on one another though. This is a vintage bottle. The scent seems better blended for my tastes than the modern version.
  15. Lovely MITA shave, Terry! Sorry the new razor didn't quite meet your hopes and expectations--really is an amazing looking contraption, though. :)

  16. It’s good stuff. Next month will be PannaCrema Nuavia Blu. Friends on another forum claim it’s every bit as good as MWF! Heresy! We’ll see!

  17. Well, Paul, I’m a soon to be elderly sr. (73) volunteer with a service mini-hound. It’s a cause I’m committed to. Lost my first wife of 38 yrs to cancer!
  18. Great shave, Paul!

  19. Great shave, Jason! The Occam’salways delivers. I’ve only used the aggressive plate, but I’ve concluded based on several YT Reviews that there’s not much difference. I may give it a try, but am very happy with the aggressive plate. With a Feather, the recommended blade, it’s killer!
  20. Great Black Beauty Shave, Tom! Love Lime Sec, unfortunately SWMBO IS allergic. The Gold Black Beauty was my father’s last razor. He passed at 99 in 2013.
