    Beautiful OT, Doug!
    You sir make a compelling case for the M-Bomb. I do have a few AS' that could stand a little menthol
    Scary good razor, Neil
    Cool B&W Keith!
    Great layout, Jim!
    Is The Destroyer fixing to finish off the Test Depth? Continued prayers for your daughter today, Clint.
    I'm glade your picking up your stick game, Perry. Try making a lather in the brush and letting it sit overnight. That seemed to soften up my Stirling Boar quite a bit. If that doesn't work you could try the fridge technique.
    Whip that Williams into shape!
    I love that your cup has a Schick Repeater on it, Brian!

    Thank you Andrew. She just went back to pre op so the waiting begins.

    The Soap Destroyer is doing a number on the Test Depth. I have a Wild West Brushworks 30mm Tuxedo coming in tomorrow. From the reviews I read it eats soap much like the CH 2. So if the Test Depth survives the Destroyer, the WWB will get to help polish the soap off.

    It's Williams Wednesday gentlemen. The JR #180 whipped up a hell of a lather with the Williams this morning. Almost did not partake in the festivities today. I still looked good on my cheeks but my neck needed a little shave. Last minute I decided on a two pass shave that left me with such a close shave with little to no irritation that we will call this another BBS shave. Finished of the shave with the quiet alum block then a newly acquired Tai Winds AS. Stropped the fifteen times before the shave and another ten times afterward. The blade is still going strong and shows no sign of quieting yet. I do believe that this blade will out live the un-stropped blade but how much longer is yet to be seen.

    October 18

    Gillette Super Speed Red Tip (A3)
    Feather (3)
    JR #160 Louisville Slugger handle with Omega 10098 boar knot
    Castle Forbes Lavender shave cream
    Thayers Lavender witch hazel, unrefined shea butter, Fine L'Orange Noir Aftershave, and Terre d’Hermès Parfum

    Following the wise suggestion of @RyX, I'm using the same set up this week and was rewarded with another nice, easy, close two-pass shave. The Terre d’Hermès pairs well with the Fine L'Orange Noir - two of my favorite scents.

    Have a blessed day!

    How close is the L'Orange Noir to Terre d'Hermes? It is supposed to be a clone isn't it? My wife liked the L'Orange Noir so much yesterday, I am considering a bottle of the cologne.

    Thank you. I’m having fun taking the pictures. I often take more than one and my wife is even having fun helping me choose the best one.

    Quick update: I had the Cardiac Catherization yesterday. It went well, the only blockage was 50%, which is not enough for a stent. They went in through the artery in my wrist, so I'm largely one-handed for a bit. Thank you for your prayers.

    John, I'm glade the procedure went well and that you will not need a stent. Are they able to treat/ reduce the blockage that you do have in any way ?
