    NCoxSTL AAACK!

    The main coating on Sharp Stars is Teflon. All Rapira blades have kind of a basic formula and the Red/White/Blue and Pink/Black/Blue are very similar. The Pink package is just a stainless blade with stainless coating. They add some extra chrome on the Red package. Voskhod is the primary Teflon blade from them but the Sharp Stars were made with a Teflon coating as well. Or at least as the primary one. Sorry for handing those out given how horribly awful and terrible they are. Let me know if you receive so many back from others that you need help with disposal. I can sacrifice myself if necessary.

    Congrats to you and your bride, Randy. If we’d known, the cartel would have sent her cookies.

    Iced pineapple is absolutely a winner! If you haven’t already tried it, Orange Chill is another soap with a similar menthol level that I like just as much if not more.

    SOTD for July 16, 2018

    Prep: Cold water and Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap
    Blade: GEM PTFE
    Razor: GEM Featherweight
    Brush: JR #142 black badger
    Soap: Stirling Iced Pineapple
    Post: Witch hazel, Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill aftershave

    Same setup as yesterday and equally fine results. Looks like there is about one more shave on this sample of Iced Pineapple. It's a great soap. Love the scent and the tingle of menthol. Top notch product.

    @BaylorGator - My Shavey award came in yesterday. Thank you! Happy anniversary as well!

    Enjoy your day!

    A wonderful 3 pass shave this morning. The big boar made short work of whipping up a rich slick lather. I’ve found 3 passes work better with the Gem blade. Not quite a BBS but I did scare the little guy. I hope everyone has a great Tuesday.
