    Pulled out the stainless Supply this morning. Whipped up an excessive lather with the massive SynBad and had 3 uber smooth passes. This really is one of the best razors in my den- what a combination of smoothness and efficiency with the 'medium' plate. I do love my vintages -and will keep the super cool '66' around- but I think I will retire my other Schicks. The added weight of the Supply does make a difference.
    I think I'll up the focus to a true 1508.5 on the First Canadian. I'll mix in a few different splashes with it however as I'd like to keep the dwindling Jeeves AS around for awhile.
    Have a great day all!
  4. Wonderful Wed. shave Jason.

  5. July Focus

    La Savonnière du Moulin~~Simpson "The Hive"~~Feather AC/Professional Super~~Crabtree & Evelyn Kashmir Musk
    Some may consider me having broken my July "Rule", using a shavette, but the main goal
    of this rule was to perfect my ATG pass on my neck.
    With the Feather, I was curious if
    the shorter length of the blade would facilitate an easier pass.
    The Donkey Milk soap really kicked ass (nyuk, nyuk) and provided a wonderful cushion for the blade.
    My WTG and XTG passes were uneventful and while I still could not get the blade in a vertical
    position to sweep left and right, I was able to increase the oblique angle slightly, which did
    result in more stubble removed.
    Musk was on today's scent menu, and as I wait for a bottle of Frederic Malle Musc Ravageur,
    I spritzed some of this juice:

    I don't concur that this is a strictly female scent. Mos def© unisex.

    Powdery and musky, but not
    animalic. Good for office wear.

  17. Nice shave Gary, I keep meaning to see how many I can get from a spoiler too. Need to load a razor up with one again. Started before but dropped it........

  18. Thank you Joe. The glacial soap is fantastic here with the heat. I am sure you both would enjoy the Citron Scent.

    Happy Hump Day Everyone. I felt the urge to breakout the SV Felce Aromatica this morning. The scent of this soap is simply intoxicating with fantastic performance. Three passes and touch ups ended in a drama free BBS shave. I hope everyone has a great Wednesday
