    Jeff, it is his shorthand for daughter-in-law.

    Joe, is it worth the swap, or should I ask for some dollars in addition?

    Thank you Jason. I loaded the boar brush like I was beating a rented mule. I checked the weight and actually loaded 6 grams of soap. Even then not enough lather. Yes I bowl lathered trying to beat this brush into submission.

    The Fine Lavender is a pretty good dupe for Cambridge & Oxford. The scent doesn't seem to have a much depth or subtleties but I like it.

    Indeed. The worst of any blade I've tried. By a good margin. Even the VDH Ice Tempered (which also suck) do fine in the Parker SRX.

    Jeff, I find it amusing that you went from "I won't become a straight razor user" to starting a small collection, as well as considering trading a DE for one. The dark side is sucking you in! :D
    And, my apologies if I referenced you as Joe in previous posts.

    Razor - Rockwell 6S (#6 plate)
    Blade - Gillette Rubie
    Cream - Cremo Bourbon
    A/S - CL Gratiot League Square


    I broke out the Rockwell for a run this week. It still remains towards the top of my favorite DE razors to use. This morning was a bit of a rush to get out the door with my wife for a grocery run, and to return a few items at Lowe’s. Per our exchanges the other day with Joe @Trigger regarding Cremo, that was this morning’s selection. Three passes without reapplying cream (just splash on a little more water and go) left me wanting for nothing. I was through the shave and had my area and gear cleaned up in under five minutes - and walked out of the bathroom with a very smooth mug.

    The blade in the Rockwell is a Gillette Rubie, which I moved over from another razor. No idea how many shaves are on it - I’d say at least a dozen. It’s still smooth and sharp, which amazes me. Ether I got a turbocharged blade, or the Rubies are really, really great blades.

    Hope everyone had a wonderful Thursday!

    Your way is probably best, Jeff. My subconscious motto used to be, "just shave harder." That never really worked out all that well :happy102:

    Paul Turner outside the quote(s) now

    Well, even if the "That's for you Paul" in the survey DID mean me, I don't feel pressure to recuse myself from reports of the survey, since "Paul" doesn't have a shot at winning the thing anyway. We're 1/3 into the month, and Barbarian has a very big lead, and could indeed walk away with it. Barbarian's lead is by 22(61%)over Finest Gear at 38%. Course anything can happen, therefore it's too soon to project the winner, but I like Barbarian's position as of now.
