SOTD Wednesday 8-27-2014 6/8 Joseph Rodgers & Sons Wedge, Hollow Point Proraso PSC TOBS SC - St. James Georgetown Scuttle Lijun Finest Badger Dickinson's Witch Hazel Gold Bond Moisturizing Lotion Statson Cooling Moisture ASL The Joseph Rodgers is another 150 + years old razor that is an outstanding performer.

Thanks. The R41s are my favorites (2010, 2011 and 2013). I am stress testing the Astra blade. I am up to 14 days with this one blade so far. The Cade soap has really done well for me. The CMON I purchased from Lindyhopper and it is a wonderful shaver.
For some reason, auto-correct changes my 'the' into 'there' practically every time I type. I may have to begin using 'da' instead. Example: "Da Dubl Duck straight razor is the bestest one of dem all!"
