    Ha! I'm no tease. I asked if you reviewed gear with a purpose. I have 2 Toggles in-use...a Chrome and a Standard gold. Both have been serviced and replated.

    Take your pick and I'll overnight one for you to for review. Keep it for a month or two. I'll even try to figure out how to cover return shipping. PM me an address and it will be gone Monday...you can have it by mid week.

    PS. They do have diffetent heads and shave slightly different. The Chrome is slightly smoother, IMO.

    An accomplishment has been made-I'm beginning to see SUDS in ,my WSP Sandalwood Soap. I used to think "When am I ever going to penetrate this thing?"

    Thank you Charlie and Jared. My tentative plans for the month are to use the OneBlade each day while rotating brushes and soaps every 3 days. I am not sure that I will be able to top this pairing but I will mix up some favorite soaps with new soaps and creams that I have been waiting to try.

    I think the DECadence today was slowing down and being able to take the time and enjoy my shave. Soaking the 2000 while in the shower and building a really nice lather laid the foundation for a really nice shave this morning. Finishing with the mentholated rose ASB just added to it...

    Enjoy your day.

    Rockit, the labradoodle, keeping me company and sniffing around. He absolutely loves the scents.

    Glacial Spearmint is tough to face lather because it's so cold. Cold water shaving intensifies the froze. 2 passes was all I could muster through the tears.[​IMG]

    Razorock Plissoft Brush
    Musco Real Classic SC
    Parker Variant
    Stirling Unscented PSB
    Musco Real Classic AS

    Day of 2 of decadence, and I went with a favorite cream if mine that dies not see near enough use. It is good performer and the scent is fantastic.

    My oldest daughter and I are in College Station and a engineering conference/competition geared towards younger students. We had a nice night last night that let me spend a little alone time with her. It was all fun, until my wife had to remind me that there won't be too many more nights where she wants to hang with dad. :angry019::angry017: She is definitely growing up.

    I hope everyone has a great day. I know I will.

    Your efforts prove better than mine. I use my 7+ for all my photos as well.

    That's been my problem with Glacial Wintergreen but I'm actually getting used to it.

    Sometimes I get a hankering to use something that got buried in the cabinet. More often I'll spot a product or device in someones photo that reminds me, "Hey I've got that soft or hardware!" There's a subtle Enabling effect to see several folks using a proven product. If it's something I liked, an Inspired Shave renews the pleasure of possessing said gear.

    @wristwatchb The Weber is super sexy. I made an offer on one but retracted because it didn't specifically say "no wavy blade issue".

    How prevalent was the issue?

    Great photo and lineup. Enjoy the time with your daughter. Your wife is pulling your leg. Daughters are always Dad's little girl. They never forget how to wrap you around their finger.

    Beautiful razor! If you send it to @NCoxSTL, you might not get it back. ;)

    Have a great time with your daughter, Jim! Let us know how she does in the competition. :happy088:
