    It took some getting used to as sweet scents are nowhere on my usual AS list. But I love the Mrysol AS products (I have 4 of them) for their subtleness, skin feel and skin soothing properties. So when I heard that PS was the favorite of the Myrsol creator, I decided to give it a try.

    The first whiff is like the scent of a kids sweet cherry lollipop! But I took to it in time, especially when paired with a scent like the R66 Bourbon Jungle.

    I was impressed with the history of Myrsol and it's creator, and laugh hysterically over some of the reviews of PS.

    Beauty JR! Great PIF, eh.

    I married a Canadian and bought a Canadian E2 exactly like the one you're PIFing.
    (It really helped in having her overlook my RAD!)

    It's a great one fellas. Get on this list for an injector fan's must have!

    I love this thread. Post more pictures!
    I got my first SE razor. The Gem G-bar: had I got this as my first razor, I don't think I would have bothered with anything else. It is A. MA(Y). ZING!

    Another great shave this morning. The Route 66 Perfect Storm is a wonderful light scent. To my nose the scent is of a really light fougere. As usual Route 66 is super easy to work into a nice slick lather. I went with a full 3 pass shave today and took my time. By skin stretching and paying attention to my trouble spots, I ended up with a perfect BBS. Overall the shave was super close and smooth. A splash of Floid Blue was the perfect end to such a great shave. I hope everyone has a fantastic Friday.

    SOTD September 2, 2016

    Blade: GEM Stainless
    Razor: GEM Featherweight
    Brush: Omega 10049 boar
    Lather: Mitchell's Wool Fat
    Post: Witch hazel splash enhanced with Barbasol Pacific Rush, Nivea sensitive balm
    WTG, touch-up

    Fat Friday! Nice shave again with the Featherweight. I'm enjoying SEptember already!

    Question for you wise ones. My face feels smoother and less stubbly about 20 minutes or so after I shave when using an SE. I'll feel all the remaining stubble when rubbing in the Nivea balm, but then later it feels smoother than directly after the shave. I didn't experience that with DE shaves. Is that a common experience? It's interesting.

    I hope everyone enjoys their day and looks forward to the holiday weekend!

    Well, I must have done a good job honing this blade. When I was done stropping it and removing the tape from the blade I caught the corner of the blade with the tip of my index finger. Without hesitation or remorse it cut through my skin, it wasn't deep just enough to draw a drop of blood. I don't know if I'm more proud of my honing job or more embarrassed my mistake but there you have it. I will by shaving with my Rapide tomorrow with a professionally honed blade so that I have something to compare my own honing efforts to. Hopefully I'm in the ball park at least

    Good luck. Still waiting for my 5 micron sheet to arrive so I can ready up the Rolls. Did you finish up with 1 micron or .3?

    SEptember 2 SOTD

    Schick G4 razor
    Personna blade
    WD Silver Tip brush
    CO Bigelow SC
    Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
    Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue EDT

    SE month and the G4 did good. Last attempt with injectors resulted in a lot of nick/cuts/weepers. Not today and I feel fine. Now go enjoy your day folks.

    Way to go. Maybe the injectors will work for you from now on.

    Wonderful shave today! No irritation no blood . I think I like this star razor better than the gem g bar.
