Thanks, Dave.

Thank You Celestino, Dave

My soap for this week has been sitting in a drawer in the Den for a year, and never been opened: RazoRock Mudder Focker.

First-shave results: Typically great RazoRock lathering and performance, scent is complex, similar to Soap Commander Courage: citrus, peppercorn, and cedar. And wow, what a great post-shave face-feel, just as advertised!
I look forward to fine-tuning this soap and dialing it in over the next week.

Have a great shave and a great day everyone!

I accept the one soap for the week challenge! (OK, I do realize this is a cream)
This is one of my favorite lathers, giving me about 25 great shaves to the jar, I am already 20 shaves into this one. I figure if I am staying with one lather for the week I want it to be a favorite, and something I can 3017 at the same time. Razor, blade and brush will also remain the same, the only change up will be in the after shave so I don't go mad by Sunday . The Captain's Choice Lime AS 3017'd today, need to get more ASAP..

Prep - Shower / Pre-lather / 3 min steam towel
Razor - Gillette Slim Adjustable @ 9
Blade - Gillette 7 O'Clock SharpEdge Yellow (#4)
Brush - Omega 10810
Soap - Mitchell's Wool Fat
After - Frozen towel / Alum & WH Mix
Result - BBS +

Finally got around to getting Mitchell's Wool Fat, and I have one major question - what is all the fuss about this being difficult to lather? I found it easier than Arko!
I need a new abbreviation for my results, as I feel BBS (excuse the pun) just isn't cutting it. BBS to me is smooth all over, no stubble to feel. In a 10x mirror, I'll still see stubble. The results I achieved tonight can't be seen in the mirror, and consequently I won't feel stubble until tomorrow evening.
The 7 O'Clock SharpEdge Yellow continues to impress me. I thought 9 on the Slim might prove too aggressive but no, still got an amazing shave.

Venturing out of the intro thread with my Monday offering,

Thanks celestino! I was on the fence for a while about getting the ATT Inkwell stand, but thanks to all of the friendly B&B enablers, I finally took the plunge.
I'm glad I did!

thanks! the PAA double comb head is OK, sort of like a sheep in wolf's clothing, but the OEM handle is too small, so I switched with the Elite python handle, which is much better balance.

I should have looked at the theme first. I've never used the same soap for a week straight.
