Ugh, I can commiserate with you there. The current system is far from perfect, but at least it's gotten past the split national champions conundrum.

Thanks Doug! This will definitely take some practice. I went into it thinking it was going to be like a straight...it's a bit different!

Nice pics of an awesome line up all around there.
QUOTE username=GearNoir userid=5861023 postid=1304841128]Both great photos!
Glad you have the shavette a try today, even if it turned out less than spectacular. Practice makes...better![/QUOTE]
Thanks! I understand that you have to give straights and shavettes a full hard try. It will take a little time but I'll get it.
Yeah I agree...the orange in that pic really pops! Believe me...the photos don't do that razor justice...it is absolutely beautiful!

Not too bad...

By the way...in case you all missed the hilarity...here is my latest video!
I did NOT miss the hilarity. My wife actually came upstairs to see why I was laughing!
Oh great...now the wives are getting in on this. ?
It really is a beautiful piece. Don't assign any fault to the razor itself...it was mostly user error.
I do feel lucky. I wish others would have been able to grab one up. Maybe next time I might be in more of a position to grab a few and get them to my brothers of the cadre!
Razor #1: Gillette Slim
Blade: Voskhod (3rd Use)
Soap/cream: Storybook Soap Works - Visions & Revisions
Brush: Rudy Vey Shavemac 2 band Silver Tip Badger
Aftershave: Thayers Peach Witch Hazel
After the Aftershave: Avon - Windjammer
After Tuesdays blood bath, I decided to play it safe and go for a mild shave. No need in opening old wounds...literally. Anyway, the shave was very pleasant and I feel like I am back on track. Visions & Revisions has been getting a little love around here lately and I thought I would break it out again. Oh, Man! That tea and citrus scent was really rejuvenating. So much that I might go out for tea this afternoon for lunch! Everything about this soap is understated. Every component does it's job to make this one of the better soaps out there in my opinion. But it performs in such a subtle way. I don't know if that makes any sense or not. Just know that it hits on every component and hits on them good. Conducted a three pass shave today...I was surprised. I really thought today was going to be the day to just get the job done. Nope! Half a pass in...and I decided I wanted a full shave experience. Finished up with some Thayers Peach and then some healthy glugs of Avon Windjammer. The shave today was as perfect as I wanted it to be.
The Danger Zone:
It's a coat and tie day today. Our board meets and I may have to explain or defend a couple of my cases. Other than that...not much to report...well at least nothing I have time to report on. I hope all of you have a very wonderful day today!
Oh! By the way...I still haven't used my Sudsy Soapery Uplift, their new tallow formula. If anyone wants a sample of it...let me know and I will get it out to you as soon as I can! I will likely shave with this soap this weekend sometime.

Well normally I do not bet on sporting events, but I might be persuaded.
Thank you all for reading! And Craig...I'll get back to you...
