It was a good/bad shave. The Brand New brush was fabuloso. But the JC is not treating me right. If looks could kill, but... I'm not feeling the love.

My best shave to date. I am BBS the next morning. The Robert Klaas never disappoints. A two-pass shave WTG/ATG. XTG isn't even necessary with this blade.

A bay rum junkie's dream, especially after St. John's Bay Rum bath soap. I like the Ogallala's scent and performance, but it clearly has some cinnamon in it and burned my skin just a bit. Surprisingly good soap, though.

Tim
Today was something of a special shave for me, as a friend of mine is going to be giving me a "touch test" to see what a sharp straight can do. Naturally, I reached for a special blade.
