Awesome shave Akhi! It’s suddenly summer. I’ve been out most of the day doing yardwork. We’re hosting a family event and the barbecue is ready to go! A shave may or may not happen until later this evening.
Enjoy being Grill Master at your family event. I always enjoy grilling. I taught my son years ago and now he is mostly the Grill Master when we are together.

Nice shave this afternoon. The blade was a little rough and got binned after the shave. I mixed the Stirling Lime with the Razorock Don Marco(Bergamot and Neroli). They blended well together. Otherwise a great BBS shave.

Thank you my fellow Pennsylvanian. I stropped the heck out of it after the shave. We shall see if it feels any smoother tomorrow. Overall it was a good shave. Pretty razor and feels well balanced in the hand.
Where in PA do you live? The Great Mid-Atlantic Wet Shavers Meetup 2026 is scheduled for October 18, 2026 from 12-5pm in King of Prussia. I already bought my ticket. Maybe you want to attend.

Thanks Akhi!

It’s going to be a hot day tomorrow - around 27C so it’ll be another frigid shave on tap. Enjoy your barbecue!
