    Thank you Doug! Coming from the Rescuer of Damsels in Distress and poster of unmatched shave porn that's high praise. :eatdrink047:

    Dirty Deeds Bay Rum & Lime Soap

    First time with a Wilkinson Classic blade and turned out to be very nice. Two passes and some touch up for a very smooth BBS shave.

    Oh yeah!

    In the late 80's - early 90's I had several distributor customers in the "near" mid-west. Whenever driving around in Michigan, Indiana, Missouri, I'd make it a point to snag a lunch at a Bob's Big Boy. Haven't seen any in SE PA. Wife thought I was nuts buying the Big Boy dolls. (plural intentional!)

    Here's the whole gang.

    It's been a while since I shaved with my ERN. Very nice shave today. Light touch and lower angle did the trick. Very little noise from the alum. Smooth and clean. :happy036:

    Today's shave was with an Old Chopper, that was brought back to life. I had a fantastic 2 pass shave. This Old Wedge Razor is dialed in, and is so smooth that you don't hear, or feel it cutting. The results speak for themselves. BBS results, without any nicks, cuts, or weepers. One of my very favorite razors.

    Razor- George Wostenholm & Sons, Celebrated IXL Razor, Barbers Notch Wedge.
    Brush- Semogue 1305 Boar
    Soap- Arko/Avon Spicy Scent
    Aftershave- Vintage Avon Spicy

    SUNDAY SHAVE

    Razor: Merkur 33c
    Blade: Rapira Super Stainless (new)
    Cream: Derby Lavender
    Brush: Omega S-Brush
    Post Shave: Cocoa Butter Lotion

    Stellar shave tonight. The Merkur 33c is an amazing mild razor and the Rapira Super Stainless blade is second only to the incomparable Astra SS, so it's no surprise this combo works so well.
