    Very nice Old Spice themed shave Jason. I have about 80 GSB left in the den. Fortunately, I have not encountered the issue you have experienced with the blades today.

    A bum blade in an Old Type could have spelled disaster. Good save, Jason.

    Happy Monday Jason. That is strange that only 1 side of the blade would be a dud. Wonderful lineup and photo at least

    Thank you Joe. Enjoy this chilly day a well. I guess it could be worse, just ask @jluc.

    I know, right? To be honest, if a newbie DE shaver had posted that one side of a DE blade was dull, my response would have been 'Whatever'... This was very noticeable, though. Never had that before.
    Alignment wasn't an issue either.

    SOTD MONDAY MORNING, MARCH 15, 2021

    It’s great to be home and have access to my entire razor collection. After a 13 hour drive, and spending Saturday night on an air mattress, it was a real pleasure to get home to my favorite mattress. Back when I worked, I used to spend a lot of time in San Francisco. The St Francis Hotel on Union Square was my favorite hotel, and I never failed to have a glorious sleep there. The secret was their own custom designed mattress. When I retired, I purchased that mattress. I have that same one in our condo in Philly and at my wife’s family’s summer place on Tybee Island. Since we’re now both vaccinated, we plan on visiting both places again after a year of quarantine. In any case, it sure paid off last night, seven great hours of rest. I must have been tired because I normally sleep for only five.

    Waking up to a 29°F, bright sunny day certainly set the right tone. This morning’s mug shave featured my Frederick Reynolds 5/8 and a luxurious three pass Castle Forbes lather, whipped up with my favorite Viking Silvertip Badger brush. I decided to spoil myself with a face lather, and I’m glad I did. That little shoulderless Reynolds never lets me down, and it certainly didn’t this morning, easily putting the baby to bed! The dome shave with the Rex Ambassador was a slow and careful two pass ATG shave wide open with that wonderful blade feel I love. The Traveling Wilburys’ “Handle With Care” playing in the background set the perfect tone for a great start to the day! I feel clean, refreshed and porcelain smooth!

    RAZOR: Frederick Reynolds 5/8 (Mug), Rex Ambassador (Dome)
    BLADE: Feather DE
    PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
    BRUSH: Viking Silvertip Badger
    CREAM: Castle Forbes Lime
    POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Royall Lyme AS/Cologne.

    Thats about what I have as well, Joe. I don't think I got their best with this pack, to be honest. Never had this level of issue with any other Russian Gillette.

    Sounds like a very unique shaver, Dave. Congrats!
    I think any serious wetshaver (@jluc , @b1hart and @wristwatchb et al come to mind) need to have this in their den, or why even bother then, really...:happy036:

    Look at that brush! Magnificent again, Clint. Yes, it definitely looks more blue in today's pic. The knot was a good choice as well. What a stunner.
    FYI- I see the Dead Sea bundle is on sale at IB, if you are running low.

    Danny, what did you need to do to get that top cap functional? You mentioned that it was light weight. Is it aluminum?
