    It was a Shavette Fu type of day ‘round these parts.

    Very nice, as always. Is Friday your last day of school before the break, Joe?
    Nice Work Wednesday shot, Jim. You definitely showed the nicer side of that brush...
    Has the 75 kept its lead on the 76?
    It was worth the effort, Dave. Awesome.
    What a beautiful hardware combo, Clint. Love the b&w as well.
    Good job with the V2, Danny. My only complaint about that razor is the light handle. A solid shaver and I think you will like the V3 as well.
    I don’t recall seeing that soap before, Gary. New to you?
    The splash sounds like it has a bit of a Knize Ten vibe to it...
    That 51 is a stunner, Jeff! The Limes before a storm sounds like a good plan...
    They have multiplied today, my friend.
    Yup, King Frankenrazor rides again...this time with some seriously good theme music.
    That is awesome. Turning is turning, but his resin pours are seriously original and cool. The fluting of his is such a signature as well. Congrats!
    Sounds like a great razor, Blair. Congrats!
    A collection of great shaves, Patrick. I hope things slow down a bit for you.
    Tommy! Good to see you drop by.
    A great sounding Williams Wednesday, Andrew. Do you notice much of a difference between a MMOC and that Clogpruf?
    The Senator! The 400! Stunning,Evan.
    You always had the best looking popsicle stick razor...labelled and everything!
    Thanks for the video as well, Bill.

    I heard they didn’t make the What the Puck series (or the recent variations) or the sticks. I don’t know for certain. I wonder if that is who is making the new Fine soaps as they are now 5oz and made in Italy. Looking forward to seeing the ingredients on them.

    Thanks for everyone's prayers, will wishes and thoughts.

    Weaker because I don't feel there's much soap on me-too wet from the blooming. (This is not to say I'm not blooming anymore, course I'll keep that going).

    Well, I do what you do....go into the puck to get more soap, to add 1/2 a pass.

    Thank you, Jason! I seem to get similar results from the two razors, but the Clog Pruf provides a more comfortable shave.

    I understand, but if you load for 45 sec instead of 30, then you should have enough soap for your first pass and quite honestly for your entire shave. If you saw my videos, I wet my face with a very wet brush so that my face is really hydrated and thus the brush is only damp. I still squeeze out the water from the brush so that it is a lightly damp brush. I load for about 35 to 45 seconds. The load on the brush is pasty. I paint the soap to my very wet face and then I use circular motions and paint and repeat by adding tiny amounts of water to my tips. I use a cup filled with water to do so. You mentioned that you have a small counter inhibits you to try the cup method. Well, I place my cup in the sink so I don't clutter my counter. Anyway, my way is not the only way. I think you may want to look at You Tube videos on how to properly lather with a brush and shave soap or cream. Bottom line: You can try different things, but ultimately, you are the pilot that decides what is the best course to take.

    Thanks Jason. The handle is light but that doesn't bother me. My ATT Calypso is light as well. V3 is up in the morning.

    Honestly, stuff I’ve sent south has been quicker than stuff coming this way the past few months.
    If you’re not in a huge rush, you can try waiting until Boxing Day. Huge ‘sale’ day in Canada and topofthechain may have a sale...
