Great photo, Brian!

 

Another great shot, Clint! Beautiful knot in the DK7!

 

Nice setup, Jim!

 

7 April 2017 TGIF Blade Focus
Shave
Since it's Friday I broke out the Trumper "Limes" Shaving Cream. A few minutes attention with my Omega 6212 and the limey goodness was ready. The 7 o'clock Black finished the week strong, delivering a 2.5 pass BBS.
I splashed on some Clubman and Friday was off to a fantastic start. Next up for audition is the Gillette Silver Blue. This blade works so well in my NEW that I'm expecting it to bear away the bell in this competition.
TGIF! fellow Denizens!

 

Thank you Andrew.

 

Entry is free, but whoever bleeds the most picks up the bartab. That can be a scary thing with this group. Keep in mind, you have a Marine a piepliner and an accountant at tax time that will be bellied up. And thats just for starters.

 

No charge for you Glad to have you.

 

Drive a Chevy do you?

 

Thanks very much Andrew.

 

SOTN April 6th


Merkur 34C / Feather (2)
The Blades Grim Smolder soap and AS
Satin Tip The Purest
Crown King Scuttle

Day 2 on the Feather is always a little smoother for me. No issues with weepers last night and a comment from SWMBO telling me how good I smelled. She loves smolder and for that reason it will always have a place in my den. Have a great day friends!

P.S. just because

 

What a great kid, Andrew. He's like our own 30 day crew bat boy.

 

Are we gonna start the Ford-Chevy thing? Really?

 

Awwwww!

 

Thanks Jared!

 

+1. I'll second that motion. All in favor say "Aye".

 

Crazy question. If it needs humidity and it was put in use several times sitting in a shower and bathroom that is used daily, why did it not cure? Also, this is Long Island. All we have is humidity .
Could have been old but I am sure Jim uses it quick enough for that to not be the issue. I am sure the silicone doesn't get a chance to even sit on the shelf since he is making brushes better than a factory.
I am not sure. I will see if I can find that silicone. DAP is good stuff but the ones I saw from them in the local big box store were mostly the water soluble probably latex based stuff and I wasn't going to use that. I have used them around the house and they do dry waterproof. I just did not wish to use it in this application. I will go with all of your and Jim's advice. We are emailing and I am sure Dark Chocolate will be back in the rotation some time next week .

 

No, I don't drive either actually, but it sounded appropriately immature for the room.

 

Thanks!

 

Andrew, thanks for posting the picture of your son. You made my day.
