    You know, I hadn’t thought about it that way. If there really were cookies around here, I’d probably look like Jabba the Hut. Still working on the dark side just to be a badass, though. If there are cookies and punch at the ceremony, I’ll just skip the punch.

    Thank you Clint! Since discovering these textured ceramic bowls I face lather less 1% of the time.

    Thank you Jim!

    Thank you Jason! Even shipped from Europe, both the soap and brush are top shelf quality at bargain prices.

    I know the feeling. I’m trying to loose the weight I gained on vacation.

    Good job on the multi quote. I find it much harder on Tapatalk.

    That was my first attempt. Seems to work OK, but I do prefer a full keyboard & browser over the small screen of my phone.

    Interestingly, I felt the same about the L’Orange Noir soap. It really grew on me as well. I don’t have the splash, though.

    I hear you.

    I’m a six foot four guy, who ran 245 in my prime, and 250-255 ish now for the most part, so it isn’t that horrible, and I carry most of the extra above the waist when it comes and goes. But around March when I hit 270 ish and had to go buy bigger pants for the first time since college, that was a wake up call.

    Someone called me? The 26mm Yaqi just feels bigger on the face. Not like the 30mm Maseto that is dense with loads of backbone. A real beast of a brush!

    Day nine with the MMOC. What's not to like. I was reading the two patents taken out in 1929-30 and have further appreciation for the serious engineering that went into this tool. [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    I know that feeling! If only I had that 25 year old body again, I wouldn't have to worry about it!

    Thank you, Clint.
    I went minimalist on the photo to try and show off the hardware.
    The brush performs as well as it looks.

    Amazing resin and lines on that brush, Jim. I almost didn’t see the Rex!
