    The Burley does look good. And our necks are similar-parts of them just won't give.

    They did something similar against the Bucks in the last round. It looked more like a base 3-2 zone, with that same trap/double on the elbow you referenced. The 3 on top were basically a pack line. It was the ‘anyone but Giannis’ defense.
    It is rare that a game is decided in the first 6 minutes of the 3rd quarter, but that 18-0 run killed them. They are really going to regret losing that one, with no Thompson for most of the 2nd half and Iguodala hobbled.

    I've had the same experience. WTG, XTG (x pattern), skin tighter than a drum....BBS on the lower right neck is really tough for my growth. DE, Straight or Kamisori doesn't matter. The Kami with a Feather Pro gets DFS+ with skin stretching...but not BBS. ATG....any tool feels like stumps being pulled out. About the only thing that works for that area, for me, is my Gillette Slim, with buffing ATG. Takes super skin stretching, slick lather, and very short light strokes...or it's razor burn 24-36 hours. Not worth it IMHO.

    Great shave, gear and lovely image Joseph!

    Menthol monday and Just for Basics June wrapped all in one. I think I’ll start with this humble Tech for the week. The handle may not be completely basic, but an awesome Omega boar knot certainly is. The Proraso came from the local drug store so I think it counts. I’ll try to keep to some basic shavers this month, but I know I won’t stick to basic software the whole time.
    This is actually my first shave of the month, as we spent the weekend at the lake and I never took the opportunity to shave there. The Green whipped up its usual nice lather and the post war Tech mowed down the 72 hours growth in fine fashion. I finished with some Booster- a pleasant, cheap Canadian stank. I’ve added extra Menthol to the bottle as well.
    Have a great day all!

    Short gracious enabling. Doesn't get any better. Luck? DDG solved that....sorry about my wallet! :happy102:

    Great basics shave Jason. Love the Beehive handle (and of course the boar knot in it)!

    Hello everyone and hope everyone is having a great day.

    Able to get in a wonderful Monday morning Menthol shave with my newly aquried and cleaned Gillette Blue Tip razor. Not really totally perfect, needs re-nickeled so looks like gonna do that, first time for everything.
    The shave was univentfull and smooth but not as close as I like. This razor needs some time for me to get it close, but still a good start to my day.

    20190603_071605.jpg

    A good razor for a nice shave, used 2 Feather blades and some newly received Stirling Menthol Barbershop from @johnnyflake . I like, thanks John for giving me a chance to try something with menthol in it at a good price. I'm in for the menthol, feels great.

    Enjoy

    Thanks Clint.
    As I get more experience with blades and suds, I tend to know how things are gonna turn out. This one I had high hopes for, there were no disappointments.
