    Whoop whoop! I like the soap and splash. Little razor a great to use. Had to use a smaller brush due tot the size of the container. DFS in three passes.

    That is such a cool looking container for the splash. If it smells as good as it looks you have a real winner.

    So final shave of August was with the Feather Artist Club SS. I wanted one because of folks around here...and one of you sent it to me. I need to use it more often. I am still one handed and will remain so.......just saying.

    The scent is citrusy goodness. I can’t tell the other notes, but I like them. The non-menthol cooling lives up to its name. There was another product I used in high school called creeper. It started out normal, then within 30 minutes it crept up on you and got really strong. This splash does the same. Starts out a little cold, then gets really cold. Cold sticks around for a while, as does the scent. I tried to get this when it was released, and it sold out in under 3 minutes. I made a good trade for this set.

    Well, we are in a lightning delay in our high school football game at the moment. We are at our home stadium, thank goodness, so we were able to come back to the band room to escape it. The school opened the gymnasium and main lobby for the fans. You must wait 30 minutes after the last lightning strike, so it could be a while.

    So I'm cooped up with over 100 sweaty teenagers who are hyped up and bored. Lucky me!

    A rule like that could be a little nerve-wracking. I mean, you get to the 30 minute count..........you really have to hope another one doesn't come at minute 31.

    Thank you Joseph! I thought today’s lather was pretty slick, but believe even more can be coaxed out of it. Hopefully tomorrow I won’t be rushed and can “play” with the lathering. So far, I like the soap.

    John, I can not exactly answer this question. But I can show the Gillette Rubie blades in 3 variants.
    The left box is very bad. No manufacturing date. The sign of the Russian standard is not there. The difference in the text with other boxes.
    The center is very good blades. The inscriptions on the blades are painted. Before the introduction of QR code.
    The right box. The modern edition. QR code. Laser engraving on the blade. I liked. These conclusions I made from my own experience of using these blades. Photos taken today.

    John, я не могу точно ответить на этот вопрос. Но могу показать лезвия Gillette Rubie в 3 вариантах.
    Левая коробка - очень плохие. Нет даты изготовления. Знак Российского стандарта находится не там. Разница в тексте с другими коробками.
    Центр - очень хорошие лезвия. Надписи на лезвиях выполнены краской. До введения QR кода.
    Правая коробка. Современное издание. QR код. Лазерная гравировка на лезвии. Мне понравились.
    Эти выводы я сделал из собственного опыта использования этих лезвий. Фото сделаны сегодня.

    Nice setup Adam. I've always wondered if the quality of the Holy Black sets matched their presentation.
