    Adjustables on 9 is where it's at this month.

    You need to be around more. I really miss your timely and pithy comments.

    It's one way to hone my brush chops.

    I don't have a Tuxedo but my Maggard's B&W knot that's in the JR 191 is probably my favorite knot.

    Very handsome bowl! 12-13 cm wide?
    Five inches to us South of the boarder types.
    I've found the wider, shallow bowls are easier to work in than a mug.

    I just got one of those Maggard knots. I am interested to compare it to a Tuxedo. (Or see if I can even tell a difference.)

    Tuxedo and a shave stick.

    Shout out to @Bama Samurai for the inspiration. (And the Arlington )

    I figure since I am a man without a focus right now, I am going to spend August using the rest of you and this thread to inspire my daily shaves. Could be the brush, or the soap, razor, or all of them. It sure worked great tonight.

    My wife is going to Georgia on Friday for a week's residency. I think she'll be safe, though, based on that movie at least.

    I have got to get me one of those razors - that has my setting on it. I should try my own setting at least once.

    A focus based on the focuses of others in the thread about rules and focuses. That is GENIUS!!! :bounce017:

    Your focus might be the best one yet.

    For the record, that was Northeast Georgia. I live in Northwest Georgia. Whole different vibe over there.

    Just a quick note on the Futur - they now have a couple of clones (probably have had, I just discovered them). Both made in China. One is the Ming Shi 2000S, and it seems to be the more popular one. The other is the Qshave. Both are zinc alloy, they are both just a bit shorter than the real thing and both weigh more. No idea how the heads compare as far as adjustments since they don't give that data and, I've never tried the Futur. At under $20 I'm tempted to try a clone just, well, you know, because.

    From what I hear they are the same razor, different packaging. I have been contemplating the Q.
