I know you do my friend. So do I. One of Michelle's best. I am going to get through this stubborn remains of Tabac and then it's off to the MW.

 

Absolutely gorgeous photo Mark.

 

Really beautiful brush and the handle is exquisite. Now there's an example of new rod stock that I could put in my conservative den.

 

Thank you, Joseph!

 

You're welcome Andrew. I just calls 'em like I see 'em.

 

Bill, pictures or no pictures - it doesn't matter. We love you and as long as you're here that's all that counts. God bless you!

First use of preshave soap by this supplier. Unlike Shave Secret oil that after a months testing gave me no perceived benefit, this high glycerin soap added a nice glide to my shave. Looking forward to testing it with other soaps, and I may pick up the sandalwood scent, and the teatreee, too.

 

+100

 

If I didn't know better, I would say it's St. Patrick's Day...

 

this is the VC4 - i have a older one as well - i like the VC 4 Much better - its allso the only closed comb and the last one Gillette made- GREAT shave - but ! the Feather Stainless steel baldes only give me 2 good shaves ( i could stretch it - but i have too many blades to care) - and its the only blade that fits ( i dont have the motiviation to cut up gem blades and de-spine - dont care about that) and the feather blades aint cheap but wow do i get 2 killer shaves from that blade and the VC4

 

I have a tuck or two of the Feathers. Do you use the strop?
