I had a great shave this morning with the Schick Golden 500. It's a fantastic razor. It just has one small issue, the handle is a bit slick in spite of the grooves.

   

The other day Twelvefret and I were talking about potential salutations. Here is my quick and easy salutation. It's only elegant in its simplicity and the fact that it's not modifying the handle permanently. It only takes a few seconds to put on pre-shave and a few seconds to remove after for storage between shaves.

Cold Water Rinse
L'Occitane Shaving Soap

The L'Occitane Shaving Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #414 Silvertip Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Ever-Ready Lather Catcher Razor with a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave.
