Originally I wanted today to shave with my Kronenberg Supra, but changed my plan due to an online art project where the topic today was ABC.

Dan, Thomas - I love the way you do opposite shaves - DR vs Tech - you guys cover all bases, huh? :thumbup:
@Thomas: That Palmolive, you still using the original stuff? Me, I could not bear it, had to ditch it...

Me, for some reason, I tend to do Gillettes on weekdays and others during the weekend. So I can never join your fun :crying:

Yesterday was the Mirabilia and today the Darwin Deluxe. Just sayin’ :302:

I poured out the Palmolive today! I forgot I had the bottle stashed in a drawer. I thought I would give it a try, but it was way too powdery for me. I will have to find something nice to fill the bottle. Hmmm.
