    I love the way you wrap up your month amigo! :happy096: I also enjoy following along with the 30DC although it's been difficult to keep up with the posts given my busy retired lifestyle. ;)

    Thank you Mark. I take pictures each weekend for the coming week. Since my memory is not what it used to be, the calendar helps me remember what to use each day. ;)

    Actually, I haven't unpacked much. My strops, soaps, and after shaves are unpacked. Razors are next

    Razor: NDC Post-War Gillette Tech
    Blade: Nacet Stainless (2)
    Brush: 30DC LE/Pure Badger
    Soap: Williams
    Post: Alum, Listerine, WH

    I'm a couple of days behind on posting, so its time to catch up. I appear to be on a bit of a Tech kick this week. Monday was the Chinese Gillette Super Blue Blade razor and a GSB. Yesterday was the maiden run with a pre-War Tech head from a trade with @jimjo1031. For that shave and today's, I am using the Gillette Nacet blade (you know, the one that can bisect a crocodile). I mentioned that I had been meaning to try those and @Linuxguile was kind enough to send me a couple. (Thanks, Andrew!)

    Okay, I have to say that the Nacet is a really nice, smooth blade that lives up to its Russian origins. It definitely pairs well with the Tech. When this one has played out, I think I'll need to pull out a German Wilkie and see how the two compare.

    NCoxSTL AAACK!

    Nacet is one of the better St. Pete blades that doesn't get enough love, even from me. Plus, as I always say, any blade that includes a picture of itself cutting a crocodile in half has to be included in my den!

    That's a good looking razor. It's always nice to have a new tool show up. I think I have one waiting on me to pick it up yet this afternoon. Photos forthcoming. I hope.

    Yours are the gold standard of monthly recaps, Clint! Another great summary.

    February is over and closes with a bang! Today my Wolfman WR1 .80OC in polished Bronze hit the den. It has 2 handles, the WRH1 and WRH3. March will be consumed with this beauty.

    I didn't post a lot in February but I did read along as promised. Hopefully, you guys notice I "like" the majority of your posts even though I don't comment a lot. I guess I'm going to be the 30DC lurker.

    My little boy was playing a few minutes ago. I heard him say "shaving picture". So I listened more closely and he said "setting up shaving picture". Then he asked me to take an actual picture of his shaving setup. Haha!! So here is his composition....not bad for a 3-year old! :rofl:
