Ian,

I really like how well the shave stick works for me as well. I need to get a couple more to try, I only have the Valobra Classic and it is simply, wonderful!

Friday Morning:

Hot Shower/Hot Towel
Schick Krona
Swedish Gillette (Shave #2)
Rooney Style 3 Super
TOBS Rose SC
D.R. Harris Pink A/S
TSD AS Milk
Preferred Stock

Decided to go a with a nice smelling floral theme today with the Rose shave cream and Harris' Pink after shave. Both were very pleasant. The shave itself was somewhat mediocre. Passable but not very close. It seems that the Krona might just be a bit too mild of a razor for me. A good shave, not great, but good. Enjoy the weekend everyone!

Good Friday afternoon all...

'73 Superspeed with 7 O'Clock yellow (7 or is it 8?)
Edwin Jagger BBB
Ingram sc
Thayers Original WH w/ aloe
444 asb
Alcolado Glacial splash
Czech & Speake No.88

After a day off from shaving, a menthol driven day in preparation for a good friend's surprise retirement party...A wonderful shave with the Ingram and '73 Superspeed/Perma Sharp combo (lately my favorite razor) followed by the 444 and Alcolado...topped off with the decidedly unmenthol Czech & Speake No.88. Now where's that Hawaiian shirt?
