    Whatever happens in Scotland stays in Scotland? May I offer one exception? If a PGA athlete sends his shot into the North Sea, that ball ain't in Scotland anymore.:cool:

    OK, thanks....by the way, this doesn't happen with the larger-sized pucks(Stoylin, 66, certainly Jeeves, Chiseled Face, etc.)

    You could also scoop a little bit into a bowl and whip it up that way. I agree with you about pucks, Paul. We have gotten so spoiled with the new artisan tubs, and cruiser class brushes, that standard 3” pucks are now considered small.

    SharptoothC I bite..........

    This reminds me of my six year old daughter. She asked me earlier this week to get something for her that I knew my wife had said no to. I told her she couldn't pull one over on me that easily. Her response? "Well, it was worth trying". She has used that phrase at least 10 times this week.

    Off to a very slow start this morning which I guess is fine for a Saturday. For the next several days I will be using the Shavemac D01 3 band and C.O. Bigelow cream. The Shavemac has the most scrub and scritch of any brush I have tried. Honestly I have to be in the mood for the brush. The Bigelow cream is well known to most shavers and makes for an interesting comparison with the Proraso Single Blade cream I used early this month. As expected the Shavemac had no trouble lathering up the Bigelow Cream. The scent of the Bigelow is stronger and has the cooling while the Proraso Single Blade scent is more subtle with no cooling. The Proraso Single Blade wins in slickness. Overall there is really not that much difference between the two. My normal 3 pass shave with no touch ups left me with a very DFS. Off to run errands. I hope everyone has a great Saturday.

    Outstanding gear, shaves and set-ups gentlemen! You're all an inspiration! I won't be doing a shave until later today so I have time to ponder.

    I'm worried about Neal, though.... have you recovered from the 1st pushup yet? :happy102:

    You gotta work on that stuttering, Charlie. It makes it hard to understand what you are saying. I’m guessing you want either coconuts hot cocoa? Served to you by J-Lo? Either way, can’t help you with that, brother. By the way, where did you get that awesome pic of me and her sunbathing at the beach? (You can’t see it in the pic, but she’s just on the other side of my belly.)
