• Rockwell 6S/R4
• Nacet (15)
• Stirling Orange Chill + Omega Eucalyptus
• Yaqi 24mm synthetic
• WH w/menthol, LTFT
• Stirling Orange Chill ASB
• Stirling Bergamot Lavender AS

For those keeping track of my blade usage numbers, this does indeed mean that I didn't shave over the weekend. Sleeping late, coffee with a friend, chopping and stacking rough-cut wood, a motorcycle ride around Napa's countryside, a lovely promenade down our little town's main street with SWMBO and our three dogs...all of this conspired to keep me busy, and shower just didn't seem like a good use of time.

This morning's shave was a lovely two-pass affair. As usual, the mixture of Stirling and Omega have a quick, dense and slick lather with little effort, helped along by the synthetic. The result was DFS, which is plenty good for me.

And for those tracking my blade usage: there's got to be something better you could be doing!

Onward!

Still in, resisting temptation is a joy now which will surely be of great help in the future

I just want to double-check, I received an order I placed Oct 30th today, can I use the items? Wizamet blades!

still in - DFS+ with my Red Tip and a Bic (2)

Using the 26mm Yaqi Moka Express was fun but this thing blooms so big that it covers half the face - so not a brush for everyday

[Balin]

Still in! Tried my new Wizamet Super Iridium blade in my RR GC .84 SB! I'm still trying to figure out if the .84 will be a daily driver. I have a bit of neck irritation from using it 2 days in a row.

Another flawless shave with my AdP set, Simpson Duke 3 BB and diamond finished TI. There are only two shaves left in the ADP tub and I will be sorely tempted to replenish it if there is a decent Black Friday deal.

 

[SharpieB]

Still in with a great shave today. Avoiding Black Friday sale emails like the plague.
