Again Gary...Have a great Saturday.

 

OK shave this morning. It was going well, with a 0:50 load time for the Central Texas Soaps' Down At The River onto the Crown King brush. Nice work along the cheeks&sideburn areas and North Porcupine Alley. The trouble happened at S. Porcupine(chin). My razor hit a speedbump, which I knew would result in a cut.That was followed by a Knick just below the cut. The jaw had a lot of astroturf from yesterday, but I got it all this morning. Cactus Nation was fine. The damage at S. Porcupine happened on the first pass, thus I knew I'd have to be extra careful on the second. Luckily, I was. CTS gives you a DFS provided you do it right. I was pleased to find a way to keep most of the Aqua Velva in my hands(and not let it fall to the sink-Niagra Falls). I simply cupped my right hand. Since the cut and Knick didn't turn out to be dangerous, I'll give this shave a Pretty Excellent.

 

fine shave Paul..

 

Thanks Gary...I guess "fine" is the best description, given the problem at S. Porcupine Alley. Pleased overall. except for that.

 

i have around 4 categories Paul,crap,ok,fine,excellent,awesome..well 5 if you count the first.

Happy Saturday everyone. I noticed I had not used the La Savonniere du Mouli, aka "donkey milk" shave soap in a long time so I decided to give it a go, The big Rubberset did a wonderful job loading and face lathering the donkey milk soap. I love the richness and slickness of this lather. Three passes and touch ups with the R102 ended another drama free BBS shave. The R41/R102 has a reputation of being a hyper aggressive razor. From my perspective, this reputation is really not accurate. While the razor does have a lot of blade feel. It is far from the most aggressive or efficient razors I have tried. A splash of Fine Platinum aftershave followed by an Aventus Creed clone, Supremacy Silver EdP left me feeling and smelling fantastic. I even got an unsolicited "damn you smell fantastic" comment from SWMBO. Now that is a win in my book. I hope everyone has a great Saturday.

awesome Clint.happy saturday..

 

Thank you Gary. I hope you have a great Saturday as well.

 

Great shave, gear and detailed post, Gary! Have a fantastic Saturday!

 

That's a great sunny Saturday shave, Jim! Have a bright and sunny day!

 

I hope that's not the case, Dave. Thankfully, and without sharing too many details, I have employed the "have and not need vs. need and not have" inventory strategy here.

30 pucks of vintage Williams, huh? Good work. It sounds like you practice similar Dooms Day inventory strategies.

 

thank you gents..

 

Nice session Paul!

 

Swati's comment says it all! Have a super Sat. Clint!

 

Unfortunately, animal products in personal care product formulations get a bad rap these days.

 

I always enjoy seeing the Taylor's Eye Witness come out for a spin, Joe.

The Barlow is one of my favorite knife patterns. Would love to snag one made by Taylor's Eye Witness. Super cool.
