Perfect shave this morning, BBS. I am using just one razor this week to really give it a test. The Swedish Gillette and the SS seem to partner up pretty well.

I will have to find a new Fatboy, the one I have does not tighten properly. The silo doors want to loosen up during the shave. Not fun.

God Bless

Dusted off the T&H hard soap. Wow, this stuff really gives a great shave! Also gave the first run with the Thayers Medicated Superhazel. :eek: What a cooling sensation! Has a bit of a clove scent that lingers for a bit, but this stuff is a must for all you menthol-heads out there in shaveland.

Man if it wasn't for the Floris my face would be in so much more pain now, don't know if it was the Derby that crapped out on me, or the AOS SC.

Nice shave to start off the week. The slant sliced through my weekend stubble like a hot knife through butter.
