Razors: Lupo alu.
Nacet(3)
Soap: Blue Barbershop
Brush: 10019
Post: non needed. Alum, shower, Ghost-town Barber

The 10019 is starting to soften, hopefully it gets close to the 1305. The Lupo aluminum is fantastic, went 3rd pass and was almost as good as the Henson +. Very slight tingle from the Alum. Really enjoy the smell of the G-TB splash. Cant wait to try the soap.

BBS in 3 passes. DFS+++ after 2.

Post: Mudder Focker splash

Loaded both Hensons with fresh Rapira swedes. 2 pass with the medium(++) followed by cleanup with the mild( +) = DFS++ and virtually no feedback from the splash!!

Razorock really hit a homerun with Mudder Focker. Using the small spritzer to add water works fantastic! 15 count load used the full reservoir.

Started loading with a wetter brush...nope not a good idea. Wet soap all over the tub and ran down my arm while painting. Will stick with a damp brush to start and spritz water on face as I go.
Henson++ gave DFS in 2 simple passes.
Be well

Playing cards with Tracey this morning before bed. She asked why I have so many soaps. She understands they all smell different, but wanted to know if there was any other reason to have so many.

I honestly could not come up with a good reason.

Peer pressure from a gaggle of soap sniffing lunatics.

My Bride’s also named “Tracey.” Very rare from US-borne women to have their name spelled right. My coworker is also a “Tracey” and our realtor was, too, but she’s from England and sounds Irish, so I think she had no trouble finding personalized items in gift shops until moving to ‘Merica.
 
My wife was the first Tracey I ever met aside from a male coworker. I have no idea how he spelled his name.

Had the time for a nice leisurely 3 pass shave tonight before work. DFS+++. The Rapira Swedish supersteel blade is holding up great, I am very impressed with the performance. Almost enough to fail the months GRUME to take advantage of the sale right now.

Be well

3 pass (all with SuperSpeed) shave this evening. Results were not as good as yesterday only DFS. Blade might be done after 7 shaves. Not bad for a .09$ blade.

Be well
