    Stainless steel tub, the lid screws on with a clear plastic see through top. Magnet on the bottom lets them hang if you have a steel cabinet or shelf.

    Thanks for the container guidance, guys. Lots of good options. Just gotta see how many pucks I need to find homes for when the package arrives.

    I've got three empty Grundtal containers that are going to hold three Stirling samples I ordered last night. Got some of the seasonal menthol soaps on the way to try out.

    Razor: Timeless SB 0.95, w/ TRH5 Dimpled
    Blade: Personna Star (3) Made in Great Britain
    Brush: El Druida Ebony Zebra w/Manchurian
    Soap: Route 66 Cavendish
    Aftershave: Floid Blue

    Outstanding three passes with fourth pass as clean up for a BBS. This blade is preforming better after a couple of shaves. Good feed back from the Personna Star also. It says on the pack Platinum Coated Edges.
    My team got beat out so Paul is happy.

    Setting up for tomorrow's shave revealed a serendipity as the result of my own stupidity. I loaded up the slant for tomorrow with a Rapira blade, and set up my gear, including the new omega boar brush which arrived from Maggards today. I went to de-funk it, but it was surprisingly devoid of smell. Then I went to whip up a test lather with it and found it to be the softest silkiest boar brush I had ever used, and wondered how it could possibly already feel so broken in. Thrilled with this new brush, I immediately took my Omega pro out of the starting rotation, and placed it in a box of items that haven't made the cut and will eventually be sold or PIF'd. What a crappy brush! No comparison to the new one! This bad boy is stiff, but so soft, it almost feels like a synthetic…
    In fact it has an S on the front…
    that could stand for syntheic...
    Wait…
    where is the package that it...
    hey...
    this isn't a boar...
    it's a synthetic.

    Apparently I love Omega synthetics! I never would have ordered one (on purpose), but it's earned a starting spot in record time. What a great brush!

    Beautiful setting and photo Doug. Does you Timeless have the polished or scalloped head?

    Great photo. That would make it an easy to break in boar. :D

    yes I am happy, @Douglas Carey , but you're still kind of in it, as Ottawa beat Boston and advanced.(Unless you don't care for the Senators).

    Thanks Clint. I got the TRSBH1 Solid Polished base & cap. I loved the scalloped one that we got so much I decided to try this one.

    I'll route for Ottawa even though they aren't my team. I think the Rangers will make short work of them.
