    Very nice Jeff! Glad to see you’re doing better and back to shaving & posting.

    I definitely consider the warm shower before shaving as part of a pre-shave routine. Great FB Stirling combo today Terry!

    I am in for April with a No Focus Focus. The Blackland Brassbird should arrive later this week which means I will spend sometime getting it dialed in. I will continue in my effort to use up some of my current soap inventory.

    Back with the TOBS Mr Taylors cream so that I can use this stuff up. The big Shavemac Flat Top is a joy face lathering. Three passes and touch ups ended in a drama free BBS shave. A splash of Fine L'Orange Noir was a perfect end to the shave. Off to my office today to wrap up a few things I couldn't get to yesterday, then I will be working remote for 3 days a week. I hope everyone has a great Wednesday. Take care and be safe.

    April 1st
    Razor: Razorock GC .68P
    Blade: Astra SP (2)
    Brush: Heritage C-MON
    Pre-shave: PAA The Cube
    Soap: A&E Asian Pear
    PAA Galactic witch hazel
    PAA unscented Star Jelly
    AS: A&E Asian Pear

    Good morning

    Fantastic shave to start the month! Three passes for near BBS. Nearly silent alum.

    I added something new to this morning's shave. Terrorade. Five drops to my lather and two drops into the palm of my hand with the aftershave. Very nice!

    I'm going with an Anything Goes April. I have some newish razors that haven't seen many uses that I'd like to get to know a little better. I'll also do plenty of A&E this month but not exclusively enough to call it an A&E April.

    I'm off work until Monday. I was told due to CDC guidelines. My wife is working from home so I'll need to try and stay out from under foot.

    Have a great day!

    Great shave pic, Clint. I’ve heard the Tatara is a relatively mild shaver. Has that been your experience?

    Aaaand, a fine shave to begin this month. I've only had 4 shaves now with the Phoenix A.A. "Boomtown" soap, but looking into the puck, one would think I've had 44, not 4. 15 seconds to moisten the brush, 20 to load it. 2 passes, easily could have done 3....one slight weeper(first in my last 3 shaves). Could have done a bit better on the right side of my neck, just under my ear. The brush entered my skin giving it a nice warm sensation-must be akin to the hot towel prep. I liked that. Clubman Special Reserve to end things. . Very Excellent.
