    Not yet. @jgreenepa likes his Colonial General V2 just a little more and has offered me a test drive. I do like the small form and have worked out my initial fumbling with getting blades in and out.

    I find both out of stock frequently.

    I'm all good. Yep, South Africa is in an absolute state. Looting was rampant, and thanks to the government's slow response thousands of jobs have been lost, and more than 200 lives have been lost.

    Gonna be warm today.
    So....
    I added some extra coolness to both the soap and splash.
    Menthol crystals to the splash, liquid Menthol to the soap.

    Another great shave to say the least, both head and face.
    With the bar soap for the shower, not shown.
    A wonderful cool is over me, even as I put this to print.
    Oh how I hope it lasts....

    Enjoy

    Happy Tuesday Everyone. Back with the Cella Aloe Vera this morning. This soap is so easy to lather and has a very nice scent that seems to go with anything. Three passes and touch ups ended in a drama free BBS shave. I hope everyone has a great Tuesday.

    Nice combination, image and details as always Barry! :signs107:

    Pretty Dave, love the looks of the Karve SS. Only 2 weeks to a break?

    Wonderful cooling shave Terry! Fun razor.

    Cella is one of the easiest lathering soaps for sure. Nice color pop with the Black and Blue today Clint!

    1000 shaves....I remember (I think) you mentioning you wanted to hit that before a possible shave break, even though you're probably past that mark of when you started logging. I'm trying to keep up ;)

    Oh yeah, I gotcha now. I wanted to surpass before I miss but I'm not planning on stopping at 1,000. Just be more likely after that number if needed. Have a great day ! :happy088:

    30DC LI Chapter meet up this morning with @Trigger at the MSD (Mount Sinai Dimer).

    I really did not need to shave due to the lateness of yesterday’s shave, however, there is the need to be smooth and refreshed for the meet up. Can’t look grungy for a fellow member.

    Another fantastic three pass shave to do the job. Looking and smelling for with the meet up.


    Have a great day gentlemen
