I'm getting Double Iced Lemon and Cedarwood Soap and Double Iced Lavendar Soap-can't wait. Also ordered a bunch of splashes for my partner who sucked me into this-he's never gotten on TSD-no justice there.

Thursday night shave:

Hot shower
Gillette Super Speed (thanks Wyatt!)/Derby blade
Ogallala Bay Rum soap
VDH boar brush
M&L Florida Water

OK shave, but the SS/Derby combination didn't seem to give as good a shave as some of my other blades. The SS is pretty gentle/non-aggressive, so its good for a change from my shavette or SE. Looking forward to more great shaves w/ the SS.

 

I use a Parker (80r I think) and it works great for me!

My first real success with the redneck scuttle. The foam was warm even after 3 passes when I did my face wash with the left over lather. The edge on this razor could have been a little better but all in all a very nice shave. Good tunes this morning too. The writing on this song is fantastic! Here's to all us old farts whose scars outnumber our tattoos. Have a great Friday fellas.
