Maybe I'm moving off topic but...that's a great mug (scuttle?). Can you tell me about it? Where you got it? How to use it? Etc.
I was afraid posting a pic would do this. I am sworn to secrecy until I find another in case I drop this little jewel. Porcelain barber cup- fill the chamber with hot water like a scuttle, then make your lather in the other chamber that has the cross-hatching in the bottom that you can barely see under the Duke. I tend to face-lather, so I primarily just set my brush in there to stay warm for pass #2.Maybe I'm moving off topic but...that's a great mug (scuttle?). Can you tell me about it? Where you got it?

I dont strop them at all and I have been getting irritation free DFS-BBS shaves each time.I was in a rush to the office so I was not able to report on the quality of the shave.
I had a few raspberries this morning, one under lip above my goatee, one above my lip and one on jaw line. Probably the third shave with the Ted Pellas that I had some minor issues. Not sure if I should be hand stroping these blades or not.
I think that since I was shaving with the CVS blades I got used to stroping the blades..even oiling them. Next time I switch out blades, I won't hand strop.I dont strop them at all and I have been getting irritation free DFS-BBS shaves each time.
