    Great pair of photos, gentlemen, especially of those fabulous @Jayaruh brushes. How does Jim do those intertwined loop patterns anyway? Are they inlaid?

    Thank you. There are pictures on one of these threads. He laminates stacks of wood and then turns them. I’m sure Jim will see this and chime in.

    Yeah baby! 223 respresentin' for the month of December. I've adorned it with some fantastic, IMO, razors so far. I have a couple more in the lineup, too!

    I love the synthetic Maggard knot, it's a lather machine.

    I read how you did it but that doesn't mean I mean understand it.

    So some days I’m good and some I’m not. Noticing that the only place I seem to get cuts is under my chin/neck on AGT.

    You may want to try going XTG in both directions. It's worked for me.
