So it looks like Winter isn't ready to go just yet. DFS today, close to a BBS. Missed the water soap mix a bit today. I was in to much of a hurry.

 

I doubt it's killing SRAD. You just have the opportunity to refine your want list, rather than the Shotgun approach so many of us use. Want to focus on Sheffield Steel? German Blades only? Seven Day set? By 2017 you will have your research done and can come shooting out of the gate to get exactly what you want.

 

Refined SRAD. Let's spin it that way!

 

Spin.

 

It sounds like a focused approach to finding good steel. It's all in the name of science!

 

I like the way you think. "All in the name of Science." I'll have to try that logic on my wife.

 

Let me know when it works on her. So far, it hasn't worked too well with my wife....

 

You may be right. I might be delusional.

 

I'm starting the hand switching tonight, I was going to last night but unexpected company arrived. My left hand has a mind of its own so it's going to be interesting

 

I have pointed out to my wife that by focusing on American made razors, I am actually saving money compared to English, German, or custom razors. So far that's not working either.

 

Fantastic photo Doug. Love the outdoor winter setting. Just glad it's not that cold here.

 

I just shaved my head. I received a jar of Mystic Water Jeff's Lavender so I decided to use it on my head.
One of the easiest soaps I've ever lathered! I don't get what everyone says about how difficult this soap is to lather, I started off with my normal damp synthetic brush and went to the puck. Added water as needed and shaved my head.
Jeff's Lavender is fantastic! Strong, spicy, nice.
Don't let a soap hold you back from trying it because of what the internet says.

 

March 23, 2016
The month of March has focused on two Schick E type razors: a Canadian E and a US E2, while also trying out different blades with each.

Hot Shower
Razor: Schick E2
Blade: NOS Schick Platinum (Holland) (3)
Soap: Nancy Boy Signature
Brush: Rooney 3/3 "Super" Silvertip
TSD Witch Hazel
Myrsol Blue



Two-pass shave - XTG, ATG
The beat goes on…another fine shave with this razor/blade combo! Maybe I should try the BillyFergie cut-back Feather Pro next in the E2?

Cheers!

It's not delusional rather it is perfectly logical and scientific.

 

I never thought I would be able to use both hands when shaving with a straight, I stuck with it and now I can use both hands..... the scars have pretty much faded.

 

O

Okay, I'll work on a pitch, practice it over and over so it comes out nice and smooth. I'll let you know if it works.

 

Looks pretty chilly Doug. Lovely picture!

 

Just watched the weather on CBC. They say we are in for an extreme weather event. I've never heard it put that way before.
Thanks for your kind words.

 

Yeah! What exactly does that mean!?...ice tornadoes from hell!?!
