Thanks, I honestly had not even noticed...I guess I am pretty mouthy;)
Perhaps some day it will earn a badge of some sort for me...I would like to think there was some quality among that quantity:D
As for SOTD.
I have been pretty stuck on one razor this week (the custom that my wife had made for me and gave me as an early Christmas present). Except for Sundays (reserved for my grandpas heirloom razor), this will probably be used most of the time for quite a while:D

I think it is as perfect as a razor can be (relative to what **I** like)...truth told, she really wanted a burl handle, but sadly it broke in production...I am not at all disappointed with the olive wood!

* Gillette 1934 Aristocrat
* Polsilvers
* Frank Shaving synthetic 24/48mm
* Mike's Lemongrass + Eucalyptus
* Thayers
* Unrefined Shea Butter
Pre - Alum block
Strop - 3 inch bridle leather/hard felt
Brush - SOC 2 band badger
Soap - Vitos Red
Razor - Schulze stainless 6/8
Post - Alum block followed with Thayers witch hazel
Close and clean. I enjoy using my stainless razors and don't find them harsh. The SOC is the only 2 band badger I have but can see getting another as it is soft on the face with enough backbone to give a good face massage. Have a good one.

Thank you my friend! :)

Hot shower prep
Soap: Cella
Mug: vintage Staffordshire

Razor: Darwin self sharpening ~1935
Aftershock: none
Splash: vintage British Sterling
Talc: vintage Yardley
Today; a gorgeous day for an execution! Little Jimmy, can you spell “Trepidation?” Yes, teacher;”DARWIN!” “Why??” “That's the scariest thing I’ve ever see’d!!”
As for the shave? good, close, and I do have a high amount of respect for those in the days of yore! Shhheeeesh! There is a set screw built into the hollow ground blade to adjust the edge exposure, and it somewhat mitigated the aggressiveness. Would I shave with it again? possibly.............
