    Cobra Classic
    Feather Pro #4
    Doug Korn Blue D-7 Omega Boar
    Strop Shoppe Soap Bay Rum
    Alum, Witch Hazel +Menthol, Whipped Cucumber Melon Shea Butter
    Small Batch Shave Tonic

    Excellent clean close shave today. The Cobra is super smooth, efficient, and easy to maneuver. Doug Korn Omega boar is breaking in nicely. The Stop Shoppe Bay Rum soap is one of the mildest sweet smelling SS around. The super slick creamy lather lubed my skin for a very comfortable and near BBS shave. Closeness: A, Irritation: A+. Finished with a health splash of Derby City’s Shave Tonic. Have a great Thursday!

    That bowl looks great every time, but I must add that it looks extra good beside the cobra!

    I have a puck I use for travel. As I get my other soaps down, they get mixed in. I might look at pushing it into a stick the next time I mix it up.

    I would guess less than 7 shaves, and that was only because I was in the ICU for 3 days in 2014 and had a pick line in my neck.

    Wow! I had an amazing shave! The Super Speed provides me as close of a shave as many of the more aggressive razors. TTT baby.

    How much soap do you put in the scuttle? Good looking brush. Looks great loaded.

    Well, I love this TGN synthetic knot. It is soft yet has plenty of backbone for face lathering. It whips up a great lather in no time. It is near a badger in performance and I really like how quickly it dries. I also have a BodyShop synthetic that isn't nearly as nice. I could easily make the TGN brush my one and only if I had to. Fortunately, I don't have to.
