    Well, the mad scientist at work again: Thanks to a tip from a TSD member(you probably know who you are, but I forgot already! chuk-yuk-yuk), and from another shave site, I just wasted a little shampoo on my WSP Pure Badger brush in a cleaning attempt. It(the shampoo)is a conditioner, too.

    Everybody has one of "those shaves". Now that you have it out of the way, you can look forward to the next "good shave"

    Great photo as usual Amigo. The Timeless 0.95 is one efficient razor. It is easily shaves closer than any of my other DE razors.

    It was my job to send the cookies and sent them last month. I guess they were captured in customs, I know I shouldn't have include the kimchi cookies.

    :happy102: I know that feeling. :eatdrink023:

    Great minds think alike, I have the same bowl. :happy088:
