Gentlemen,
In a hurry today and way too many great posts today to be able to comment individually, but:

***EXCELLENT JOB GUYS. IT SURE GETS MY (R)AD GOING***

CarrieM's Bay Rum + Ogallala Bay Rum -- Shavemac Retro -- Mastro Livi Loom -- Lewis -- Ogallala AS+EdT



Finally got my hands on a Livi Loom, and now I'm in love.

SOTD Thursday, April 14, 2011 Speed Week (Super Speeds that is)

1940's (NDC) Gillette Super Speed
Feather Blade
Pre de Provence SC
Medium Badger
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Nivea Replenishing ASB
Adidas Dynamic Pulse ASL
Results: Very satisfying.

Canadian Valet Auto Strop C Model, I believe ?
Omega Pro 49
Tabac Stick
Palmer's Moisturizing Gel Oil
Pinaud Clubman A/S Lotion

Got this Razor this AM, and had to try it out.
WOW, Talk about blade exposure !
This is possibly the closest shave I've ever gotten from
an SE or a DE type razor ! This thing could give ya stitches
in a second ! You need to be in total focus shaving with
one of these ! I got BBS for real, almost closer than I like.
This Palmer's is new in my shaving regiment, it smells great
and really makes your skin feel refreshed. I had a Fantastic Shave today !!!

You Ogallala addict, LOL. I got some of everything they ever made and like it. Problem is that scent doesn't last. Such is the nature of Bay Rum I guess.

Congratulations Mark on your latest and greatest. But, be careful...She looks like she's out for blood brother. We can't have casualties on this forum. Max' insurance coverage doesn't include this provision, LOL

Until then, as Hog Rider would say..."Shave on!!!"

Get better Monroe. Fast (don't forget to do the bike). I will very much look forward to your " get well" post tomorrow.

Talking about the Hog Rider...we haven't seen him around these woods lately. I for one, miss his posts.

What a great shave. Love this razor. It's pretty embarrassing, but I bought it on e-bay to fix up because I liked the scales I had no idea how great Thistles were (pre SRP education of course!).

BBS smooth, and I don't throw that around! I think the honing skill and shaving technique are finally coming together to reach a higher plane of shaving bliss. Thanks to everyone here for all of the help along the way!

Jason,
Congrats on the honing...push the technique further brother, there's always room. Also, congrats on scoring a great razor. Do you have a close up shot of her? She looks marvelous. Way to go on a great shave.
