    Rick, I agree with Clint. But I might add, "Don't go near any open flames." ;)

    It's a dandy! You frequently see them going 2-for-1. 2 Toggles for 1 Weber. :rolleyes:

    Excellent photo, Doug! Besides the outdoor setting, I love the blue. Is that one of the bowls @PLAla mentioned? I like it. I bet it whips up a lot of lather.

    Great write up today Adam!
    I’m actually surprised that you haven’t tried a shave stick until now. I don’t know why I’m surprised, I just am. They’re kinda magical, aren’t they?!

    Ha! You are a dreamer, too! I'll keep my eyes out for a Weber.

    I need to give the RAD a rest. I have stuff I've bought and not used...and a Blackbird waiting to be picked up tomorrow. SMH. It's totally illogical.

    Thank you Clint!
    I maybe shouldn’t have recommended the Mitchell’s Lanolin M. Seems like it’s pretty scarce. I tried to order five more today, and not too many places carry it. Of those that do, they only have one or two in stock.

    Perry, select the second icon to the right of the smiley face in your icon tray and copy the media URL into the pop-up box. Give it a try!

    I still use Block Soap for my hands, but when Doc Ezlovan throws in a classic soap sample of his own, I take a brief break from Block.

    If you guys decide to age this elixir in new white oak barrels for a few years, you could probably quit your day jobs and fill a market niche...

    I love it! It's pretty much the same thing here in Kentucky with winter weather.
