    The scales in the bottom photo are very Thiers-Issard, it appears.

    The angle of the razor is hugely important on these. I saw it was mentioned to start with the razor handle sticking out straight as if it was parallel to the floor. Rotate it down until you can just feel the blade. Let the weight do the work and try to lock your angle in.

    I'm getting low on my Clubman Original A.S. I'm grateful the local CVS carries some. Saves me on the shipping. There's a lot of the Special Reserve ready for me this fall&winter, which is good, as I'd have to do an internet order + shipping, as I don't know of a place around here that carries that.

    That's a great shot of the Special Reserve, and the brush looks attractive(I may have complimented it before)

    Thank you for the update. Dense brushes just take some time to dial in the correct amount of soap. You'll get it sorted shortly. The Weber has such a classic look that it always looks great in SOTD photos.

    The scales on the Koraat are just stunning. Congrats on such a wonderful straight collection.

    My Saturday has started off great. For the first time this week, I was actually able to sleep all night long. Still up in time to give Maya her morning meds, I decided she would appreciate a full breakfast as well. Bacon, eggs, grits and english muffins really hit the spot of all three of us. Rolling right along to a wonderfully relaxing shave. The big WWB whipped up the Cambridge & Oxford into a rich slick lather. Initially I was ambivalent about the soap but I can see Cambridge & Oxford becoming a permanent part of my soap rotation. Three passes followed by touch ups along my jawline and lower neck left me with a fantastic shave. A splash of Fine Lavender to provided a perfect end to the shave.

    Maya wants to get out some today. So she and I will be going to the taqueria to grab lunch and watch some college football. I hope everyone has a wonderful Saturday.
