Saturday's Planned Shave:

prep-Dial 4 Men Bodywash(Recharge)in shower
shave-Chiseled Face,soap(Ghost Town Barber)
brush-Burma Shave**
razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot + DisposeABLE
A.S. Chiseled Face(Ghost Town Barber)

**I'd like to feel better about the Burma Shave brush. I struggled some with it for my first use with it, however it ended up giving me a nice shave. Perhaps it just needs more "test-driving".

 

That's Toby a few months after I started to know him at around 4yrs old. Just recently had to have him put to sleep, he was a little over 14yrs old. But his Dad was American Boxer and Mom was Black Lab.

 

Very sorry his life is over. Nice way to remember him. I dedicate part of one of my passwords to our English Springer I loved, as I was growing up. Stuck with us for 6 years and was killed by a car. He probably could have gone well into his teens(he was 6 at death).

 

Thanks !, It's in pretty good shape.

 

Thank you Douglas!

 

The Wonderedge had the honors today, must have been the influence of the DDs making the rounds on the thread lately.

Outstanding photo and line up Karl. The razor brush combination works.

Good shot Chris. What knot is in that handle?

 

Thanks Doug. It's a Rudy Vey Manchurian from earlier this year. It was offered as a group buy on another forum. It took a few lathers to open/soften up but now it's quite nice.

 

Thank you. Does it have much backbone?
