    This razor, I think, has cured me of the nagging case of RAD I had developed. Unless I take the leap into straights, I'm pretty sure that my DE buying days have come to an end. Strange feeling and I'm not sure how I feel about it.

    What a wonderful gift your wife gave you! I bet there are a lot of memories, especially from the last season at Old Tiger stadium.

    Dove Men Face Wash
    Col. Conk Bay Rum Shave Soap
    Semogue 1305 Boar
    Gillette Fatboy F2
    Sputnik Stainless
    CWR, Asma Alum Block
    Thayers Lemon WH
    Pinaud Vegetal

    The Col. Conk Bay Rum Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Semogue 1305 Boar Brush. Two passes with my Gillette Fatboy razor and a Sputnik Stainless blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, alum block, and a final cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayers Lemon WH and then Pinaud Vegetal after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Razor: Merkur 34C
    Blade: Feather (1)

    April 8 Plans

    Stirling Sheep facial soap
    Merkur 37C slant bar razor
    Feather blade (day 1)
    Omega 10098 professional boar brush
    Arko shave stick & glycerin
    Two passes
    Alum, Thayer's Lavender witch hazel, unrefined shea butter, and Nivea Sensitive Post-Shave balm

    This week, I'm using Arko as a shave stick and lathering with a boar brush. I had enough yogurt-consistency lather today for two passes plus touch-ups simply by using more soap, working it longer, and adding plenty of water. I haven't heard of anyone using glycerin in their Arko lather, but I think it makes it perform even better!

    Grace and Peace!

    It's doing just fine. Toughening it up for all those bad blades still out there in my future. Feathers are useful for that.
