    Love the cars in your photos Gary. What do you think of the LPL soap? Scent?

    Lovely picture Perry. Congrats on finishing the soap.

    Great photo Jim. Sorry about the trip. Maybe you can reschedule.

    Fantastic report as usual John. You have quite the collection of vintage razors.


    Great photo and lineup Jim.

    The week has gone by so fast. It is hard to believe it is Thursday already. The AOS Sandalwood cream is a gift from the wife. I think she likes AOS since she can buy it while in the mall. Either way, I am glad to have her supporting my hobby. Two passes and touch ups just missed the baby but provided a wonderful drama free shave. A splash of CC Sandalwood and I am off to work. I hope everyone has a great Thursday.

    Unfortunately, these guys are booked solid throughout the season. We tried to move the days to Monday and Tuesday, but they were already booked. We'll probably try again down the road.

    Yeah, it worked out to be a great combination, both aesthetically and functionally.

    Happy belated Anniversary, Andrew! I hope you and your Bride had a wonderful day of celebration. Great photo of Declan. He's growing so fast! I'm really glad that you share photos of your sons each week. It's fun watching them grow up.

    We made it home late last night, but it was a long day. We went from the 80s to the 40s. :Animatedfrozensmily:

    Hi Jason!

    @NCoxSTL recently shared a few tucks of Sharp Stars at our meet up this summer. I think he did this to get rid of them, as they are so bad. :) All kidding aside (I know that is frowned upon here), it's a very smooth blade and quite sharp. It's similar to the Voskhod for me, maybe just a bit sharper. I read that it was a re-branded Rapira Platinum Lux, another very nice DE blade. I understand they are not made anymore (who knows?), and picked up some from oktane-2008 on eBay for about 10 cents each, including shipping. I hope this helps, and I hope you are enjoying your time in Japan.

    John, you have a couple of beautiful razors there. I have really enjoyed seeing and reading about the razors you've used this month. Keep 'em coming!

    Jim, that is one uptown New LC. Beautiful set up today! How do you like the Cat O' Nine Tails? I have the regular CC Bay Run, and I like it.

    You mentioned the word "epitome". Remember that ad from the early 80's where the guy with the southern drawl said that whatever the product being advertised was "the EP-UH-TOME" of excellence"?
