RazoRock Blue Label shaving soap in a Crabtree & Evelyn bowl
RazoRock Plissoft Monste Synthetic Shaving Brush
Aqua Velva aftershave

I have long used Rapira Platinum Lux blades. I bought the Rapira Super Stainless blades from Italian Barber during one of their sales. I wondered whether I might have made a mistake--but I can't tell any difference in comfort or effectiveness. I've been getting great shaves from the Super Stainless blades, too.

Cal, are you glad four for March is over?

Yes Ron, but I enjoyed it.

That was a Marathon for a lot of folks, I would not be a good candidate for that sort endurance because I enjoy variety.

I'm sorta kinda verging on minimalist, and as I knew and loved my four choices it was fairly easy for me. That said, I'm looking forward to my April Fool's Day shave with my new Fatip OC Slant.

Job well Done!

Thank you Sir!
