    They make stones that big, do they?

    My wife is a terrific cook and we got an Instant Pot last Christmas. She LOVES it. So versatile and quick. Haven't done risotto in it yet. But I'll chip in on the enabling and recommend it to anyone.

    Wonderful shaves and posts, Neal, Adam, and Rick!

    Glad you tried out the Fine soap, Paul! I've always found Fine soaps to be really thirsty and also able to take on a lot of water if added slowly. I'm glad the first use of it was acceptable.

    Nice shave, Chris! Williams is a perplexing soap to me. You are correct that it is slick as they come. But the disappearing lather just frustrates me. I've had two or three superb Williams lathers and several dozen okay to poor lathers. Wasn't worth the frustration. I gave it the old college try several times. Good luck!

    Good morning!

    Wonderful shave to start the day. The usual three passes, BBS result.

    The enabling from you guys got me again. IBC got some of my money last night. I'll be joining in with a shavette. Probably only weekends to start with.

    Have a great day!

    Nice set up, Paul! You always bring out some cool looking straight razors. Is that style of razor called a Frameback?

    I will be at times. Probably weekend shaves when I have more time.

    :thanks: My son is finished with the hood. Still has a long way to go. Most small parts that can be removed he is bead blasting them and painting them before assembly. It is a slow process but when he is done she will look better than when she was new.

    Nice picture Charlie. I have only heard good things about the Parker shavettes.

    I don't know why but when I typed your name in this morning this video popped into to my head.
