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

    There once was a thread that had cookies
    Which couldn't be found by the rookies
    There arose discontent
    And Randy did vent
    And started giving out vodka-fueled noogies

    @jtspartan, I think I have to put the blame for the unfortunate turn of pictures this thread has taken in you shoulders!

    Nice photo, Keith. I've not tried a shavette, but I'm getting more curious the more I see them.

    John, what year is your Fat Boy?

    Great photo, Charlie!

    Another outstanding set-up, Clint!

    Jim, congrats on the new toggle. Have a safe trip to and fro San Antonio!

    Your razor is in great condition! Original, or replated?

    I have a couple of CPs and I really like them too. But I have other razors I love too... I have to give them all affection as well. :cool:

    Terrific presentation, Brian!

    Stirling MITA

    One word to describe my shave this morning, smooth! Shaving in the shower is really working out for me, it seems Ive been a little lax in my prep because when allowed to properly hydrate, my whiskers get cut without the slightest sensation. I was curious to see how the big badger would perform in the shower compared to the smaller synth that I used last time and I'm happy to say it did just fine. I let it pick up some water from the shower-head and then let it sit there waterlogged until I was ready to shave. Then I refreshed its warmth and squeezed out the excess water and heavily loaded up some Stirling MITA. I managed to pick up enough soap with this monster of a brush this time that I did need to add some additional water as I worked the lather and ended up with the super shiny, slick, lather that Stirling is known for. Three passes later and the baby dolphin was in the house without ever feeling the blade or feeling it cut. As Keith @Keithmax would say, Epic! Have a great day my friends!
