Jason the brush is just gorgeous. The grain pattern is highlighted by the brass. Really this brush looks stunning.

Perry, I am praying for your family, and especially your Bride, today.

Have fun and be safe, Brian!

Well, another Rise Super Foam tossed out. I'm down to 3 more(including the one I just pulled up).

Clint, you must have ESP....that's the quickest "like" I ever saw!!

wow...8 oz....LT gives you a lot of their AS.

That's a beautiful brush handle, Jason!

Thank you, Clint!

The Variant is pretty nice. To me it isn't as noisy as most of the vintage razors I have, and it is definitely hefty. The blade gap is huge compared to a vintage, so I honestly leave it around 2. It have gone through the entire range, and I find 2-3 to be a pretty good setting. The head is a bit bulky, but it isn't too bad to negotiate around my face. I get good quality shaves from it every time.

All in all, my preference is for vintage razors, but that is more because I like the idea of using something my grandfather or even great grandfather would have used. This razor shaves every bit as well as any of my vintage razors, so my preference is more on the nostalgia than anything. I would certainly recommend this razor to anyone considering a modern adjustable, or just modern razor for that matter.

Great picture, Jason! The brush fantastic!

Perry, continued wishes for a solid recovery for her. Having gone though a brain MRI, I wonder how the foot MRI is set up.

Excellent picture, Charlie!

Thanks Jim!

Happy Marine Corps Birthday.

After missing my shave yesterday I was greeted with a near BBS this morning.

Great photo Doug.

Thanks very much Clint.

How are you celebrating the Marine Corp Birthday? Officially Veterans Day is tomorrow but many are observing it today. So let me thank you for your Service Amigo.

They're all really just your laundry soap in disguise, aren't they?

Thanks, Charlie. I took our conversation yesterday to heart, slowed down and paid attention, and the improvement was remarkable.

Anyway, it sounds like you rate a Seal of Approval yourself. I had an appropriate one once, long since lost in computer transfers, with the words "Corporate Seal" around the outer circle as is common on the seals of corporations, except this one had a picture in the middle of a seal balancing a briefcase on its nose...

Barbershop is one of my favourites as well, Neal. Good stuff.

I think that Arko could survive a nuclear winter...

Enjoy your vacation, Keith!

Let me know what you think of the Jermyn Street, John. I have heard very good things about it.
