    Cold Water Wash
    LaToja Shaving Stick

    Bunny V3 Injector
    Schick Proline B20 Blade
    CWR
    Mennen Skin Bracer

    Yesterday, @Redfisher came up for a visit and brought some honing tools. He helped me put a better edge on my Acme 5/8 razor. This morning, I gave it the cheek test. After lathering up, I did my right cheek. I am happy to report that his/our efforts were successful. Not only is it sharp, it is smooth, too. I will put it back into my straights rotation. I am looking forward to shaving with it again.

    My prep was just a cold water rinse. The LaToja Shaving Stick face lathered well with the Jayaruh #319 brush. I did two passes with the Bunny V3 Injector Razor with a Schick Proline B20 Blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Mennen Skin Bracer AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    No apologies needed my friend. It happens to everyone. If I had a nickel for every name I've mistaken in my life, I'd be somewhere in the Caribbean bending elbows with Mojitos all day. Think nothing of it.... :eatdrink047:

    The Last shave for the SEptember run and it was a great run.

    And here is the Ugly Duckling of the bunch but, with patience and solid technique can be the beautiful Swan in the lake. I've said it before and I'll say it again, it's ugly as sin and as heavy as an M1 Abrams but, Good God Almighty it can shave with sheer brilliance and performance wise takes a back seat to no one. Yes, It's that good. On par with my Rx & El Jefe with the latter 2 being easier to manuever and aesthetically more pleasing to the eye. But the Claymore V2 delivers in spades........

    Thanks very much Amigo. Enjoy your day with your daughter and the football game. If you have your cell phone with you leave it in your room so you can't order any shaving gear. :happy102:
