    Ok, so technically the following may not be true shenanigans but I hadn't used that image for awhile. Figured it was time.

    Interesting article that popped up while I was Googling a couple of things. It's really about the military, but it has a couple of interesting facts about the cost of shaving with cartridges versus traditional razors. And, the point he makes is pretty interesting too, though I'm not here to debate that.

    Great picture, Clint. Thanks for the reports on the Karve and the different plates. You know, for those on the fence about ordering one. Not me.

    Thanks, Jason! We're staying across the street from the Superdome. According to my phone we walked just short of 8.5 miles today.

    You want one? I have two and, to be honest, they're not my favorite as I prefer the shorter handle.

    @Jayaruh crafted JR # 310 for a dear friend of mine who is just starting to shave with a DE. This will be his first shaving brush, and he's in for a treat. The handle is Brazilian Rosewood with an inlaid Celtic knot. The silver tip badger knot is set at 52 mm. He will pair it with a Weber DE, Astra SPs, Voskies, and Feathers, so he has the beginnings of a very nice shave den.

    Jim outdid himself on this one! :git: dude.gif wlae.gif

    TGIF shave

    I am taking today off so I decided to treat myself to some of my favorite shaving tools: Mike Martinez straight, Thäter 2 band, Queen Charlotte Soaps cream and my bowl from Jason (too big to fit in the pic). I was rewarded with an epic shave.

    Razor: Mike Martinez smiling 8/8
    Strop: Mastro Livi
    Brush: Thäter 2 band

    Thanks Clint. I agree. Do you think he'd know the difference if I gave him an AOS silver tip badger and kept this one? agree.gif
