    Facon DE shavette
    Astra SP 1/2 (fresh)
    Hembree Delrin brush with synthetic knot
    Soap Commander Honor shave soap
    Royal Copenhagen cologne

    I thinned the Soap Commander down this morning. Man is that a hard habit to break. I like my soap thick but I do see the benefit of the thinner soap for the straight shaves.

    I completed two passes with the Facon shavette....South and North...with no blood loss. The shavette is easier for me to maneuver and the motions were a little easier this morning. The Facon is a cheap razor but man does it perform well. The alum was a little warm in a few spots but I know that will improve.

    Finish the shave off in the usual way. Back to work and man that three day weekend was nice. I envy our MOLC guys.

    I hope everyone has a wonderful Tuesday.

    Right Danny...I guess with a straight there's a lot of DIGGING to do.

    Happy Tuesday. I could use another day off to recover from the long weekend. Unfortunately, I have to doctor's appointments today. At least I was able to get in a relaxing shave to start the work week. The Citron Glacial was welcome on a Hot ATL morning. Three passes and touch ups ended in a drama free BBS shave. I hope everyone has a great Tuesday.

    Very nice Barry! Love the black and white image.

    Not sure where you are located.....but found several bulk options available via a cursory search. Amazon, Razor Blade Co (I've used before with no issues, as have several here). HTH.

    Super 6s shave Dave!

    No worries Tolga, Tabac is good stuff!

    So pretty shiny colors Jim! Very nice.

    Love that W&B straight Jeff, great results!

    I know the first fragrance I'm buying in 2022 (yes, I can patiently wait....:)). AC's reviews are superb, entirely enthusiastic descriptions with authentic fraghead devotion & knowledge. Thanks for sharing Joseph (and yes, a great setup & shave too, despite the little glitches).

    Great shave Joseph! I don't feel the need to chase the BBS with straights any longer because I get very close to it after 2 passes, although some people might rate my shave as a BBS. It really is subjective. Personally,, getting a great shave using a straight without cutting myself and not getting any irritation is my goal. Getting a BBS is the cherry on the top, but I don't need one to be satisfied with a shave.

    Thank you, Jason. I'm basking in the wonderful aroma of Tabac as we speak. Maybe that's why I haven't seen any flying insects these past few days. :D
    I'm sorry, Dave. It has been a busy week. ;)

    Sorry to hear about your Gem PTFE shortage, James. No shortage here that I’m aware of. TedPella has them in bulk. If you’re interested in smaller lots there’s Techichi Shave on Ebay
