    A few days of cooler weather and then all of the sudden it’s middle of summer again for us in Stl.

    I missed the first day as I use a Wilkinson Sticky, but I'll give it a go this month. I'll be using various Open Combs, Old Type, New Short and Long Combs, modern Open Comb, etc.

    I wouldn't mind the tuxedo or boar brush if either is still available. The only thing is that I'm UK... I understand if you're keeping it US!

    Actually working on an irrigation system, need Sulphur to pack a paw wound on my dog, and ran out of electrical tape for work.

    Isn't it obvious? Geez....

    Thanks, gentlemen! I am looking forward to trying these razors now that they no longer look like they were used as miniature gardener's rakes... :)

    Clint, I'm sorry about Mocha and about how your day began. I know she is a beloved family member, and I hope she has a treatable condition.

    If I get a real cut on these blood thinners, I'll just grab a roll of paper towels and cup of coffee and go find a comfortable chair. I'll be there for awhile. I'll do this while hiding from my Bride so that she won't send me back to my Braun electric. :) Using my Mongoose loaded with a Feather Super Professional these past few days, I could count on two or three weepers each morning unless I was very careful. The shaves were fine, but the weepers drove me crazy. I barely broke the skin on the tip of my index finger this morning removing the blade (tried to do it without wearing my glasses - bad idea), and I thought those little red dots would never stop popping up. I'm switching to my NEW LC loaded with a Voskhod blade tomorrow and hoping for better results.

    Thank you Charlie. I’ve been pretty lucky lately with the cuts and weepers. I was distracted this morning and going entirely to fast. I know it must be nerve wracking worrying about cuts and such while taking blood thinners. Hopefully the positive results make it worthwhile.

    Brian, that is a sweet looking very open combed razor. I just love those scales on it.

    From there it stays calm until the baseball size hail near Easter. Especially out there in Saint Charles and north county. New roofs and siding for all!

    John, your vintage razors cleaned up beautifully. I will enjoy following your OCtober exploits.
