Doug, they are nice. I would not mind owning the aluminum version one day. Take care and stay warm.

Thanks, Danny!

Keith, your gear blows me away. Pure Awesomeness!

February Favorites

February 27

Razor - Gillette New SC Deluxe (Matthew the haunted razor)
Blade - (1)
Soap - Stirling Sheep
Brush - I*V16 The Montgomery
Post - Alum

After another skipped night I'm back at it. Too many things swirling around to keep me on track the past few days but I'm getting there. Time to rotate razors so I'm off to one of my absolute favs to wrap up February Favorites. It is, of course, Matthew the haunted Gillette New SC Deluxe. With a fresh plate job and a Voskhod on board this thing should be amazing as always. I chose the Stirling Sheep to get some mutton tallow love, and used the new I*V from the raffle with the hybrid knot. Since I dubbed the first hybrid I got the "Moreau", after Dr. Moreau, obviously, this one has earned the nickname of Moreau's faithful assistant, Montgomery. It made a lather so easily it was almost embarassing.

Three passes was all it took for an amazing smooth and BBS quality shave. The Sheep definitely keeps things slick and cushy, and the razor and blade combination were smooth and effective as they should be. Great shave with great gear! Two more days in February!! It's been another incredible month. For those wondering about March - well - get those shavettes ready if you want to join in that way as March Madness returns!! I won't be opening up March as our own glorious founder and Mighty Favog, Chris @Bama Samurai , will be returning to the duties of post one for the next month. I can't wait to see what he has up his sleeve. It's been quite awhile since he opened the month up but I'm sure his wisdom and wit will prevail!

I actually found an early picture of the 30DC in its formation with Chris passing on the wisdom of the Rule to myself while Charlie @wristwatchb sneaked in to listen and plot.

Have a fantastic Friday guys and gals!!

Grade A+ shave, Neal! February has been an awesome month with interesting shaves, comments and playful ribbing!

Thanks, Tim. Yes, I have started to make razor stands out of resin. One was a failed brush blank (the green one at the back) and the rest have been me playing with different colour mixes.

Long day, late Fu-style check in...

Congrats on the new razor, Bill. Sounds like a great first shave with it, too.

Great shave, Gary, but I do hope you are feeling better and can get some sleep tonight.

Look at that gear! Your stuff always looks brand new, Jim. Awesome.

I take it ‘slick as a catfish belly’ is a good thing, Danny... Great looking combo.

A perfect shave? Glad to hear the razor is dialed in already, Clint.

I need to pull out some Proraso Green this next month as well, Joe. You are right, it is a nice product.

Interesting thoughts on the FH, Joseph. There are a few different models of Barbasols. If the blade is secure to the top cap and has a gap below to the bottom plate, it is a FH. Other ‘Barbies’ have the blade much closer to the base plate. Regardless, sounds like you got a nice first shave with it.

Have fun on the retreat, Charlie!

Looks beautiful, Doug. We could use with some of that snow here.

I knew that ‘89 would come around, Tim. Such a straightforward shaver.

More Damaacus Steel! Awesome, Keith. Hope things slow down for you a bit.

Congrats on the new brush, Neal. Looks awesome.

Thank you, Gentlemen. The drive was fine and a long day is over without issue. Besides the fact that I am having trouble shaking this cold. Have a great night, all.

My update for Thursday....

Samurai for 61 seconds...

True story. The razors have really helped our complexions.

March Madness it is, then. I will play Don Johnson’s Heartbeat to accompany my shaves each day...

Now THAT is Madness.

Yes! Redemption Song wouldn’t be a bad idea, either.

No. That's one level up.

This is Madness....

You got me on this one, I didn’t even know they had any other songs besides Our House.

I'm one step beyond, my brother.
