    Another excellent photo and post. Perfect enabling as well. Mike's Bay Rum is on my list now.

    Not my 'finest hour' this morning. Had a 7 am meeting to get ready for and had to be out of the house quite early. Rushed the shave a bit and paid for it. I've said it before and have another example from this morning- I save my worst cuts for areas I'm not even shaving. Ears and Noses. Had a hurried 2 pass'er and apparently decided that the bottom of my nostril was far too rounded. I was able to rectify that by creating a nice flat spot. Man, did it bleed and man did the styptic sting as I took 2 or 3 rounds of dabs to get it to stop.
    The face part of the shave? Really good actually. 2 passes has me somewhere past a DFS. Great scent, great lather, great AS, bad loss of nostril flare.
    Have a great day all!

    Beautiful photo, Jason! Too bad about the cut. I haven't cut my nose or ears yet but I have cut my lip.

    Congrats on the brush! Those are some really cool laminations in there.

    Nice report, Perry.
    My wife's program is all concert and jazz band. Marching bands don't really exist in schools around here much anymore.
    Stunning razor shot, Jim. I don't think it was that shiny when it was new!
    Awesome looking razors, John. Like you, I prefer my DEs and Injectors, but do like throwing in a GEM once in a while too.
    Sorry about the roof quote, Clint.
    You have a real talent for taking the simplest looking shaving photos and making them look fantastic. One brush, one razor, perfection. No one else can pull that off like you do.
    Ok, I KNOW that razor didn't look that good new!
    Will it be quite a few years until the West Indies Bay Rum harvest happen again?

    RyX DoH!

    I'm almost with you on that. I gave Gem types a shot, didn't enjoy it at all. DE & Injectors FTW!
    Huh, that's a new variation. Or a new name for what I usually do.

    Apologies Joseph. Your face is professional, along with your voice. I was looking at the rest of these geezers, and in my own mirror.
    Apologies, again. I don't do much Classical music, but S.Kubrick brought some into my life. The following clip does contain synthesized music, altered intense colors, and brief moments of ultra violence. Check your meds. View at your own risk.

    Part 2 of that story is that my wife thought it was hilarious (Myself? Less so...) and told everyone. As it happened in New Orleans, some friends of ours found a 'Who's your Crawdaddy?' T-Shirt from a Tabasco shop and gave it to me to wear at a soiree. 'Somehow' I ruined the shirt as part of a Halloween costume...

    Thank you Jason. I was successful in getting the roof down to $22k. Just damn. Not the sort of thing you want this close to Christmas.

    Thank you, Jason. The razor Jim @Jayaruh donated to the raffle and the handle borrowed from Andrew @Linuxguile are in nice shape.

    I'm going to start November with the best of intentions for No Variance, doubtful it will happen.

    Thank you, Gentlemen.
    Jim- It takes a special type of incompetency to shave areas that you aren't intending to.
