AUgust Focus Mike's Bay Rum~~Rubberset 400/3~~Heljestrand MK 32~~Dominica This shave had the judges voting unanimously for the Gold Medal. First, the lather. Top-notch and slicker than STP, with a Bay Rum scent, that would send a West Indies Islander into a frenzy. Micro-foam, tight and dense; not buttercream, but full-fat yogurt. Observe: There's a load of luxurious lather laden within those Boar bristles. Next, the razor. The Heljestrand MK 32; Swedish steel, that would make Inger Stevens invite you over for Lutefisk. Honed and stropped to "tree-topping" perfection, it effortlessly ridded my face of all accumulated stubble. All without disturbing epidermal tissue. Finally, the aftershave. The Bay Rum unicorn itself, Dominica. Afterwards, all that remains on the docket, is to bask in the glory of the gold.

You're right, Andrew. The problem I run into is that I've collected too many excellent shavers. The Hydromagic is a good shaver, but I prefer my E Type, restored F Type or Supply razor over it. I think I got the better deal as well. Thanks, and good morning. Enjoy your Sunday. My youngest grandson is coming over today with his parents. It should be a fun day.
Epic kit, Keith! I can't imagine shaving with a curved blade. I'm still learning how to shave with a straight blade.
