Comments	Monday’s shave. Hope you are all safe from the flooding and rain. Today’s shave is the 96th use of this fine soap. A nice, slick lather resulted in a nice shave. I tried the Feather blade in the Tech, and it turned out to be a good combo. Stay safe, gents.

Fun times. New Improved, New Deluxe, Suneko blades, Trader Joe's cream. For the head shave I snapped the blades in half and shaved with two half blades on single side. Worked great here, comfortable and efficient with slight edge to the New Improved. Vib'Raz and Enders sat on the runway, easy BBS. Hat tip to Subie Shaves.

Did you polish the CC copper bowl? How did you get that look? It looks beautiful.

Thanks, Chaps.

I bought the bowl quite recently on BST. The guy I bought the bowl from did a great job cleaning it up. I am tagging him - @Tiny - he may be able to provide more information.

All I have done is to apply an insulating layer of Renaissance microcrystalline wax to inhibit oxidation. I know enough about copper to realise that I will eventually need to go back to a metal polish such as Brasso to restore the finish, then insulate again.
