    Thank you, Clint. The honing is coming along, but I am still very much an amateur.

    Thank you. This is one of my favorite handles. The aftershave is a bug bomb right away, then mellows down a lot. Same scent basically, but not exactly, and not in your face. I was kind of hesitant to order it, but it turned out great.

    @Douglas Carey snuck into my house and laid it out for me.

    You’ll burn up some soap with that thing. Nice shave.

    Definitely refreshing products there. I really like the green OS bottle against the snow.

    How are the Fendrihan branded brushes?

    I have had some busy days with family and haven’t been able to keep up with the thread very well the past few days. My reading has been superficial at best.
    It was my son’s birthday yesterday, and we had some family and a few friends over for that and today we will be off to visit some of my wife’s family a few hours away.
    Today’s shave is off focus, somewhat, and is inspired by the 30DC. Soap from @Drygulch, wood for the brush handle from @RyX, razor from @Screwtape and AS (not by mail!!!) from @BaylorGator. All great stuff.
    The shave was super and after 3 1/2 passes, I am completely smooth.
    Hopefully I’ll be able to read along a little better after I get home tonight. Have a great day all!

    That is a really cool layout and a cool photo edit. I really like Fili razors. At least the look of them.
