2019 Shave # 258 ( 311 Consecutive Shaves )
Razor: Blackland Vector
Blade: Feather Pro (7)
Brush: Wolf Whiskers
Soap: Wholly Kaw King of Bourbon
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla
Aftershave 2: Winter Reserve Shave Tonic
So in the picture you see the Challenge Straight razor. After the generous Pif from @Majorrich of a strop I needed to give this razor another go. Apparently my patience is no better than the Major's as it clearly needs more stropping then the quick one I gave it. Got thru the 1st pass which was tuggy at best so finished with the Vector. Still ended with an extremely smooth result and feel on shave 7 the Feather Pro is still doing it's job. Have a great day Cadre !!!
Homefront: I gotta get another work truck soon as driving on 3 out of 4 cylinders is possible but VERY annoying........

Yeah...I imagine living in Kentucky it's hard getting up those mountains with an under powered truck. Sorry to hear that...but at least you smell fabulous!

Damn you and your Vector! 
Always getting them smooth shaves!
Always getting them smooth shaves!
I almost grabbed that set when I saw your post this morning, but I wanted to grab something I hardly ever used. Don't ask why I was in your house.
The Vector is a beautiful razor. Nice shave.

2019 Shave # 261 ( 314 Consecutive Shaves )
Razor: Schick E Injector
Blade: Schick (3)
Brush: Paladin 26mm Honey Noir Beehive LE
Soap: Ballenclaugh Honey and Tobacco
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla
Aftershave 2: Brut
Opted to try the Schick Shooter today with Ballenclaugh Honey and Tobacco soap. Soap after a 2nd decision making shave is adequate but will join the others in the heading out the door pile. Love the scent but have too many that outperform it noticeably and so I seldom reach for it. HOT day yes I'll hydrate today for work and hoping to check out a truck to possibly purchase. Have a great day Cadre!!

Understand about the soap! Ballenclaugh Honey and Tobacco stays in my den based on Scent alone! Love the stuff. Good luck with the Truck Hunt. When you find one...kick the tires. That's how you know it's a good truck to buy!
