    Day 2 with Dovo Master's, Route 66 and Thäter 2 band

    Decided to go hot lather to start off a cold day and R66 performed great under the heat. R66 makes a very wet, slick lather but it ended up everywhere all over my chest, sink and walls. Since it was less than 24 hours after a very close shave I did not expect an epic shave. I finished just short of dolphin smooth and gave my self a good sized weeper.

    Shaving with that thing was something else, that's all I can say. Can't wait to hear what you think. And that brush actually has a good shot. I mean, no way would I just say it is my favorite, but when you break it down into categories, it really kind of kicked ass in all of them.

    Since I blame you for my purchase of this brush I am glad to hear your assessment.

    Also a pretty good choice as it is a huge favorite of mine.

    Just under the jawline is where I seem to be messing up the most right now.

    This week has been a real joy thus far. The hardware and software combo are consistently delivering smooth drama free shaves and this morning was one more in the string. I finished off the shave with a splash of Floid Blue and I am ready for the day. I hope everyone has a fantastic Thursday.

    Are you stretching your skin? I don't have too jowly of a face, and I can pretty much pull that part of my face up a bit where I can get it on the flat of my jaw. That ended my jaw being a trouble spot.

    I really like that brush, Clint. Rudy Vey does such nice work. He is definitely the next custom I want.

    March 2 SOTD:

    Omega Boar Brush
    Cella
    Ever-Ready 1914
    Stirling Unscented PSB
    Aqua Velva Musk AS

    Day two of my No Focus Focus, and I pulled out another soap that just doesn't get much use. Cella isn't a bad soap, I just don't use it to often. It set the stage for a very nice Thursday morning shave with the 1914. I hope everyone has a great day!

    Thank you Jared. Rudy does do some really nice work and he is a true pleasure to work with in getting just the brush you want.

    Thank you, Jim.

    Second day of using the Avon 4 Men Maxwell 23 "Tribute" aftershave....(Raffle prize). It's nice indeed. There'll be plenty of it around to try in the summer-I'd love for it to be an all-year fragrance.

    Jared,
    Could we ask for a photo of the brushes? I am not familiar with most of them.

    Group shots, in order, would be fine.
