    That just seems odd. I was expecting USPS, but it shipped by UPS for some reason.

    I placed two orders with West Coast Shaving this past weekend. One shipped Monday with FedEx the other shipped Tuesday with USPS. I'm not sure why vendors use different carriers.
    The USPS package is already on my porch.

    Edit:
    They both shipped Monday.

    February 19 SOTD:

    Razor: Rocnel Adjustable
    Blade: Polsilver
    Brush: PAA The Green Ray
    Lather: Noble Otter Lone Star
    Aftershave: Noble Otter Lone Star
    Additional Care:
    Unrefined Shea Butter

    This is likely my last shave for a bit with the Rocnel. The Lupo should be here today, although I am now at the airport waiting to head up to Chicago for the night. So, it will be a prime med prep razor tomorrow, and hopefully the Lupo on Friday. Today's shave was as smooth as they get as I did two passes for a DFS. I hope everyone has had a great day!

    It is funny that FedEx is taking longer than USPS. My UPS package could have been here Monday easily enough, looking at the progress, it made it to the area in time, but it is like they purposefully hold it up so that you don't get a service better than was paid for by the shipper.

    I feel ya, Jason. We aren't doing much better in the Sierras right now--hard to grow crops without water.

    I am weak. After turning a few more handles, I ordered two Trafalgar T2s the other night...

    Thanks, Jim! :D

    My technique has actually improved since joining the 30DC thread, and I've learned quite a lot already. But today... well that was one of those wing-and-a-prayer shaves--technique and luck walked hand in hand today ;)
