    Hang tight at home and stay healthy, Jim. Cool shave, but that razor needs a stand. :)

    Great shave report, Matt! You’re right about people’s attitudes toward plastic razors. The Feather Popular is another plastic razor that really delivers the goods.

    Beautiful shave pic, Keith! Sounds like a decent, but not a great shave.

    Sounds like a winning combo, Patrick! I agree with all selections except of the smelly stuff.

    Today is a no shave day for me, but I plan to continue my shavette focus this month. I will also continue using up pucks of Stirling BoS, Mike's Hungarian Lavender, and Eufros Wet Earth soaps, along with my jug of Floid Vigoroso. I'll throw in some occasional Tabac and maybe a birth year adjustable to keep my spirits high.

    As for best values in wet shaving, nine out of ten wet shavers agree:

    DE Razor: vintage Gillette ($10)
    Shavette: Parker SRX ($25)
    Blade: Voskhod ($7/100)
    Soap: Arko ($1)
    Brush: Omega boar ($10)
    Post shave: unrefined shea butter ($25/year for the good stuff)

    Since the shavette focus continues with the end nowhere in sight, Helga landed a part-time job. Hopefully, this will stop all the pork rind and Camel mooching off @timabababaluka. It would be a shame not to make use of such a lovely voice. A big thanks to @Primotenore for acting as her pro bono voice coach.



    Carry on, gentlemen!
