NICE!!!! I almost pulled the trigger on that one but made up my mind to late! Glad it went to a good home!

Tues, Dec 13
Brush: Omega Boar
Soap/Creme: Lightsfoot pine shave soap
Razor:Gillette Old
Blade: Gillette yellow pack
Pre: hot towel
Post: Stephan's Lilac Vegetal
Hair Groom: Wildroot
Result: I had heard less than good things about Lightfoot pine shave soap, but I was able to try it pretty cheaply, so I figured what the heck. if nothing else it could be bath soap. It worked very poorly for me, unfortunately, which resulted in a very mediocre shave. It might work better in soft water ( mine is very hard), and the scent was a great change of pace, but, for me, it is probably not one I'll be using again any time soon, at least on it's own. next time I try it, it'll be with distilled water or in a superlather.

This one took awhile to grow on me. Still not a fave but I'm growing to like it.

Result: I took the Opux X to the double boiler last night and then poured it back into it's container to once again have a puck shape (since a TSA agent sliced it in half and took it). Today's shave was ultra smooth after the honing session last night.

Thanks for all the great shaves gentlemen!

Result: Nice early morning shave, ready for a very busy day.

Well Wednesday is finally here, last day of work to get through, then traveling to London tomorrow to catch up with the family over Christmas. I will have a laptop with me, I will post, but will only be taking 1 razor with me. However the SRP Thater is waiting for me there and I will be visiting both Trumpers and TOBS, so perhaps there will be some new "Props" for pictures.

Have a Great Day.
Robert, I'm missing your Razors man.
