thanks again for driving!

re your note last week, "@sarimento1 - Very classy! How do you like the Pils? ", it's a nice, mild shaver, similar to the Feather ASD2.
Pils seems a drop heftier, 122 g, and needs a bit of experimenting to get optimum angle.

Strop: Kanayama 70000
Soap: Boots
Brush: WW Custom Badger
Aftershave: Lucky Tiger with a good splash of Florida Water ( I like a tad of astringent)

Have a good evening fellas

Today was the first day that felt like Fall here in East Texas, so I broke out the Autumn Morning to spur it on.

I agree. I think the Rockwell gives me the best shaves. I've easily used it more than any other razor, modern or vintage.

After spending the afternoon and evening mowing the lawn in the hot sun, a shave den respite was in order. After showering with Old Spice Swagger and usage Osage Rub as a body splash it was time to whip up a lather of Summer Storm with a Cryogen cold front behind it. No sooner than the lather was complete, we had a very real lightning storm come through so, I got to shave with the lights flickering. Success! And, a DFS.

After yesterday... I needed MORE
The little Schick delivered... the P160 exceeded in performance... copious amounts of lather after just 15 or so seconds of loading the brush and going to the mug with it... totally miscalculated that. Great stuff on the face too...
