  1. Did a quick two pass with the JWest Frameback today, and the never ending ring of soap.

  2. I like it! Yes, definitely MAYhem worthy. Now, where to find the obsidian?
  3. I wasn't aware we had been spotted. At least it proves I wasn't always short and bald.
  4. Unwinding from a very enjoyable evening. The boss has gone to bed and I'll be heading there in a bit. Lots of food, the right amount of wine (and a shot or two of vodka) - the turkey literally fell apart trying to get it out of the roaster. Talk about tender and juicy. She outdid herself on this one.

    I did manage a late shave. VDH razor/Astra SP/Omega 10066 and Arko with a Stirling Pre-Shave soap kicker. Decadence the simple way. Carry on.

  10. It is also illegal to dislike that jam in Guam in Puerto Rico. It goes without saying it is a felony in DC :char039:

    And now for Parlament’s shaving jam

  12. Beautiful Toggle Jim. Congrats. Have a safe trip home.

    Great looking shave.

    I hope you feel better soon.

    Great looking shave Adam. Going through all of this at this during the holidays is rough. Hang in there buddy.

  13. Wow! Fanstatic photo and setup. The Toggle is definitely the star of the show in that photo! Love the filter effect too.

    Today was supposed to be a day off from work. Well that changed with a call last night on some year end tax planning. So I guess I will be going into the office today after all. At least I am able to get in a nice shave. The last day with the Rover and MdC Vetyver. This brush is just about the perfect size for the MdC container making loading super easy. I took the time to incorporate water slowly while I face lathered. The resulting lather was rich with the scent adding so much to the shave. Three passes and touch ups ended in a near perfect shave that is more than good enough for today. A splash of Fine Fresh Vetiver keeps the theme going. Since traffic will be very light today, I will enjoy a few more cups of coffee before the commute. I hope everyone has a great Friday.
