It was a great one this morning!

Very nice setup, Skinny! Perhaps this is a subject for a separate thread, but would like to hear your impressions of the new Asylum Rx

Have a great day!

A little rough around the edges
This shave was excellent on my cheeks, but rough on my neck, especially the lower part. I'm still learning the best angles for this slant. The lather was thick and rich, so I fault my technique and maybe the rougher Personna blade, as compared to Voskhod. B-M Reserve Cool and WSP Tobacco balm took care of my neck irritation, though I will be very gentle tomorrow.

First use with Stirling's new formula. Wow, it was always very slick but this stuff has great stability in lather and protection. I'll be getting more of this stuff.
