True, at times. It is forecasted to be 82F ‘in my neck of the woods’ on Monday. I am 300km from home here over the Rockies and on the Prairies this weekend. FYI- I assume you have the same weather in New York as Minnesota does as Arizona does? After all, they are all America...
I have used 3 different Synthetic flattop knots now, Danny, and by far the best of the bunch is the AP Shave Co one. I got both a Tuxedo-like and a shorter lofted one on eBay (ds cosmetic I believe) that we’re not of the same quality.

Terrific shave to start the day! Three passes for near BBS. The Blackbird, a past nemesis, is now a friend in the den. I look forward to its turn in my haphazard rotation. Have a great weekend!

The knot in the Ever Ready is the AP Shave Co flat top. I really like the knot better than the Tuxedo.
O.k. Clint.....I'll let you slide this morning since it early and you have had a long week but this is Danny and not Randy. Easy to do. Have a great weekend.
May 25, 2019 Tatara Masamune OC Feather Simpson CH2 Synthetic Savonniere du Moulin Captain’s Choice Bay Rum A fine shave to start the long holiday weekend. I used the Savonniere du Moulin in stick form again this morning. The CH2 synthetic is a great brush for using a shave stick whipping up the later in short order. I changed out the SB plate for the OC plate for the weekend. I can say that the OC plate with its larger gap has more blade feel and a wider operating angle. Three passes and touch ups ended in a perfect BBS. A splash of CC Bay Rum and I am ready for the day. Swati, Maya and I are going to Dahlonega for a short hike this morning and checking out some sites as well. I hope everyone has a great Saturday.
Thank you, Danny! Great shave and beautiful photo, Clint! Happy hiking! Thanks! Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
