    I absolutely love the Supply Co razor. I have 2 with only the 2 dot plate and this one with all 3 plates.

    Although Piacenza was one of my favorites, the scent disappeared and I had to add the Piacenza aftershave to kick it up a bit. Unfortunately, the aftershave doesn't match the original Piacenza scent. I have had the same thing happen with the Coconut Lime scent. My theory is that the fragrance isn't evenly distributed because I see injection sites as I use the soap. It may be that blooming the soap cause this phenomenon because the hard water gets trapped on the side of the soap and badly interacts with the scent. I have sixteen soaps left, not including Cremo and VDH creams plus, your 2 Commander samples you gifted me. I have enough soap to last me for years. If I was a man in my 30's or 40's then I can see having 30 to 40 different soaps, but I don't want to leave this Earth with plenty of unusef soap. I would say when I get below 5, then I may order more soap, but I am talking 3 to 4 years down the road. Anyway, getting back to your question, I don't think that I will order Piacenza or Coconut Lime again. By the way, I had a good gym workout.

    Shavette Focus Shave # 46

    Parker SRX shavette
    Feather Hi-Stainless Platinum Coated blade (2)
    Kent BK8 Silvertip Badger Brush
    Mike's Natural Soaps Hungarian Lavender soap
    Alum
    Thayers Unscented Witch Hazel
    Unrefined Shea Butter
    Almond Oil
    Jeeves of Hudson Street Blood on Steel aftershave

    Two passes
    DFS
    ​
    Align blade using the @Trigger method with the 99% effectiveness guarantee. Check.

    Pinch badger hair knot while loading soap per @Primotenore instructions. Check.

    Overall, it was a nice and easy shave. After debating a third pass (just for fun), I stopped after two. Turns out that my chin needed more work, and I had a couple of gotchas - one on my neck with leading blade edge (closed up during the post-shave) and one under my chin due to (a) pressure and (2) angle of attack (showed up afterward). Oh well. Those are the (skin) breaks! If all goes as planned, I'll have another chance in the next day or so.

    It's a lazy day here in The Bluegrass with my beautiful Bride, a Hallmark Movies & Mysteries movie marathon, perfect weather, conversations with dear friends, and good food. I am blessed.

    Remember, no white pants allowed after today. Don't let it be said that any 30 DC member is guilty of a fashion faux pas. Note: 30 DC members residing outside the United States and/or Greater Alabama may apply for a fashion exemption by completing the required forms and wiring the 10,000 Ruble fee to the 30 DC Indiana Field Office c/o Dr. Mrs. Primo.

    I hope you all have a safe and restful Labor Day.​

    Thank you Jeff. Today was our first time going out for lunch since Covid started. Luckily we were there early enough that the place was not crowded at all. Overall it was a great day.

    When I saw the E2 on the gear list, I knew that I didn't have to read any further to know that you had an excellent shave, Andrew! By the way, I did read the entire post. Lol!
