    Not the best of shaves for me this morning, but it still earns a grade higher than "Just Plain Excellent". I believe the soap(Razorock Acqua Shaving Cream Soap)is beginning to thin out. That is my theory anyway for getting 2 weepers and 2 cuts(one cut requiring ointment and a bandage). Maybe this means I need to try going faster as I load it onto whatever brush I'm using(this morning was the Stoylin "li'l brudder",) in the hopes of "thickening" it some. . But I've never been able to do fast swirling "do it like it owes you money....meep meep". Anyway, the shave itself was fine, minus the cuts. 2 good passes. As always is the case, the second was better(drier) than the first. There was enough soap for a third pass, and I now think I should have executed #3, at least to help with the cuts. One of them(the worst one)was down at Cactus Nation(neck). I drove my jeep(razor)over a bump, which set it off. I did OK down there, but could have done better. Not a good way to begin the week, fellas. Perhaps I should think of flipping this soap, but I will give it a few more shaves. That's the thing-I like this soap, but the "wear-and-tear" of it may be just around the corner. Thus, the time to purchase the similar-scent soap from Central Texas Soaps(Down At The River)may be sooner than later. At least it felt good to finish with Aqua-Velva.
    Rather Excellent.

    Post: Witch hazel, Fine L'Orange Noir aftershave

    I've just been following along some over the weekend. I did shave Saturday with The Fat and the Fatboy and finished with Fine American Blend. Didn't have a chance to post.

    Today's shave was pretty automatic. Terrific, cold lather and easy swiping away with the Hawk. Changed up the aftershave a little and went with L'Orange Noir. Excellent scent.

    Enjoy your day!

    Good report, Paul. Although you didn't achieve your best results today, at least you get to try it all over again tomorrow. :D

    My July focus has been all over the place.
    I have been treating myself like an Emperor, by using anything I want!
    The Santa Maria Novella qualifies as a Menthol Monday product.
    I can begin to describe the gorgeous Tobacco Toscano scent with a fair amount of menthol.
    The lather that is produced is nothing short of spectacular.
    Quite slick and protective.
    The edge on the Boker Red-Injun No. 101 was superbly keen and left my face as
    close to a BBS as it ever gets.
    I finished the shave with some Thayer's Medicated Witch Hazel.
    Later, I think I will treat myself to some glorious spritzes of Christian Dior Fahrenheit.
