Ha YOUR calling ME old???? Pot and kettle isn't it??

Great shave today the blenheim Bouqet is a great soap that the big ole JR176/ omega boar loves. Most excellent close smooth shave from the CPMM and PAL super. The Classic Vanilla rocked.

 

SEptember is a Stirling month!

September 14

Razor - 1914 Ever Ready
Blade - (1)
Soap - Stirling Ozark Mountain
Brush - Stirling Two Banded Synthetic
Finish - Alum

Back to the 1914 tonight with a fresh Treet Super. Stirling Ozark Mountain and synthetic for the perfect lather. It is literally impossible to have a bad lather with this soap and brush. Can't do it. Even if I tried. The shave was as smooth as silk with the new blade and three full passes brought the baby on board with not even a twinge from the alum. I'm really liking the way the 1914 shaves. It may not be the sexiest looking Gem in the bunch but man it does the job. Nice!

The weekend is here which means late nights for me as usual. Getting ready to head out in a bit. Hope you all have a great weekend!

I’m really pleased to see that you are doing better Charlie! You continue to be in my prayers.

 

Glad to hear you are back, or at least closer to back, to your old self. The Cartel suggests (don't make me send Ivan to enforce this) that you refrain from any straights, shavettes, pain sticks or shenanigans shaves while on the blood thinner. Not only do we like you a whole lot - but we don't want to have to clean up the mess should you have an oopsie with one of those. Besides.....doing death defying shaves and other general stupidity is something we specialize in here at HQ. If you feel the need, just send a message. We'll handle those shaves for you.

 

Jeff Spicoli was in that video?

 

I have generally gotten 4-6 out of them when I used them.

 

The Micromatic is truly a beast. I love the thing in spite of its occasional tendency to bite and scratch. If you master that razor you can master any razor, in my humble opinion.

 

Late to the party here... grest to hear things are solid on the upswing.

 

Dunno. I give all I get away. Carbon Steel rocks though.

 

Unfortunately it is very hard to get hold of carbon steel blades for a reasonable price over here!

 

I have heard that. The obvious answer is you should move. Just saying.

 

Pictures of the MMOC that @Screwtape sent my way...

 

Gentlemen, I really appreciate the prayers and kind words. Thank you!

 

Go to bed

 

Wow. Tremendous view Keith.
