Tuesday:

Professor Blighty's Harlequin soap
Semogue SOC Boar
Aristocrat Jr.
Feather (1)
Barbershop Bay Rum
TOBS St. James EDC

Very nice, BBS.

I've decided I'm going to have another shot with Feathers. I tried them when I first started with a DE and found them to be a bit harsh and I ended up only using them in my Tech. I'm going to use them in some of my other razors over the next few weeks and see what I think of them now I'm a bit more experienced and have better technique. Shave was nice and smooth in the Jr. this morning, so that's a good start.

Lovely shave, but I had a unwelcome gest in my shaving den this morning.The cat She wanted food and refused to leave and stayed through out my shave so hear she is.......

Note the bemused look on her face I was keeping one eye on her, and one eye on the razor ( she's going to attack at any second, but didn't want to be shaved..... back off kitty) :icon_evil:

What's doin John,

I may be wrong, but shrinkage usually happens with cold water. Please be kind and don't tease poor old Mikey about his short tool. It's a commonly seen Swedish issue.....

It's a regular size blade (around 3 inches), but I think the perspective is playing tricks ... Since Cap. Marv the other day confessed to being Swedish, I guess he made an educated and empirical guess ...
