    Sorry missed this.

    I really like Kim Deal from the Pixies, Andy Rourke of the Smiths, Wyman of the Stones and of course Flea.

    The person who "inspired me" want to play bass was Peter Hook of Joy Division/New Order. This track:

    Pro Tip: When “reasoning” with your wife, you have no defense. Better to purge that phrase from your memory.

    Needs more cowbell!

    Look at all the matchy matchy! Fanboy? :D

    Cool looking shot, John! How is their software? I'm guessing that it's made by someone else for them? Or do they make their own?

    I'll mention it again...nice brush! Looks like a big ol' soft face mop! The handle is very cool! VDH soap is a great performer...I should use it more often.

    Glad you're feeling a little better Adam. I was blessed with the flu as well this year - I seldom ever get sick. It's not fun. Unless freezing between sleeping, and having your entire body ache is someone's idea of a good time. Somehow my wife escaped, thankfully.

    Cool looking shiv ya got there!

    I'm restoring my Dad's old brush now . Made a synthetic knot for it yesterday. I may never buy another brush again if this works out. Had a few setbacks but I'll post picks when it's done .

    Nonsense. You'll still need more brushes. :D

    I look forward to seeing pics of the brush when you get it finished! You made the knot?? That's ambition!

    February 9 SOTD:

    Razor: Gem Damaskeene
    Blade: Gem Stainless
    Brush: Stirling Kong
    Lather: Stirling Port-au-Prince
    Aftershave: Boots Freshwood
    Additional Care:
    Stirling Unscented PSB

    @Drygulch, another one is done. I thought I would get two more shaves, but whatever was left in the tin, loaded into the brush. It set up a BBS on two passes. @Bama Samurai sent me a couple of samples of this Boots Freshwood AS, and it is pretty nice. A very pleasant, woodsy scent. It all came together for a great Friday shave. I hope everyone has a great day!
