Damn! In training all morning. My ability/patience to sit through hours of dry, mundane crap that does not apply to my job in the least, but is globally disseminated so everyone will "be on the same page" has gotten so much shorter as I've gotten older. By the end it was as if the teachers from the Charlie Brown cartoons was giving the lecture..

Wah waaaaah, wa wa waaaa waaaah... 🤪

So today it will be "Afternoon Music" and I need something to get me back in the right head space...


Ahhhhhhhh! :cool:🍹

Hope you're having a great day!!

Great soap! Fantastic scent. Did you get the after shave tonic? If not you should. Great stuff as well.

The afrershave is out of stock, but Chris said If I like the scent (and I do), he might have enough oil left to make up a small batch

Good lather from the soap. Really nice scent.
Shave with razor paired with the blade was just ok. Smooth and comfortable for 3passes except during the atg pass on chin and lips area for a dfs to ccs result. It was skippy & tuggy but fortunately did not suffer any nicks nor weepers. This is the best area to determine blade quality. This blade not so good for me. Will be ditched. Excellent post & aftershaves. Rating 9/10

First go around with the Gold Dollar P81. It certainly is sharp enough, but I may give it a touch up on the 0.3 micron film. I can also see why people suggest smaller straight razors to start. This one gave me a bit of a bite as I was trying to figure it out, but no big deal. DFS for the day, even if it took longer than anticipated.

•Viking Emperor on setting 6
•Wizamet (3)
•Alpha Outlaw badger
•Deceleration Unconditional Surrender soap & splash

First shave with the Emperor adjustable. BBS shave with two passes and a touch up. Built like a tank, shaves like a razor, could probably drive nails with it.

One side of the bar is scalloped and the other straight, both did excellent atg on the neck.

This razor has definitely earned a spot in the rotation. I have a Rex coming off the BST, but between the Fatboy and this razor I really don’t see the need for another adjustable in my collection.

Good morning Cadre!! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave today! Back to the Rockwell Model T. Love that razor!! First use of the Paladin soap. Great lather and shave but very lightly scented. Finished with a splash of vintage Avon "Everest" with some skin food added. Excellent!!

Hope you have a wonderful day!!
