Righto lads, I am taking over for a bit to give Doc a bit of R&R time.

This week we have the Cheapest Razor in Rotation Theme, which for me happens to be a Super Speed I bought for around $10 on the BST. I currently only have two other razors that I use, an EJ DE87, and a Feather SS, so it wasn't hard to figure out which one I was going to use.

My picture is dedicated to Jessy, as I know he loooooves my reptilian friend (I had her out anyways so figured might as well use her for my picture).

Intense, insanely close shave... with a 3 day growth this Cadet open comb performs flawlessly...
Best blade loaded into it has proven to be the Med Prep... no real irritation at all.

Aftershave: Barbon

I wanted to follow up the last MdC shave with both the LASS Woody Lavender and Tiki Set Sail. I used the LASS yesterday and the Tiki today. Tiki soaps are also excellent and can hold their head high against MdC. I finished up with Barbon (still one of the “Best Buys” out there)!

No shave for me today as I'm feeling under the weather. I should be back to shaving tomorrow, as I have a members Gold Dollar to hone and test it before getting it back to him.

I thought I would upload a picture of my reptilian friend so Prof isn't on his own.....

I haven't used the Trader Joe's brushless cream in some time. It's slick and does a good job, but I really prefer a lathering product. Also, my Fatboy is pictured, but I actually used the Slim lurking in the background.
