SOS: May 2019

If I hadn't been away I would have used the U.S.M.C brush you made for me on Memorial Day. I'll use it later this year.

 

Thank you Kemosabe. Hope you are well.

 

Beautiful picture Mark. The brush is so fine.

Outstanding photo and setup. This picture is amazing. IMO.

 

Thank you Sir, pure luck. Shot with an iPhone 6 held in hand on a dish drying matt in a harshly bright bathroom.

 

Yes, it does, with the exception of yesterday's ATG pass which was dragging a bit so finished off with a Valet Autostrop instead.

Just like a straight, you to keep the edge with an strop. I use the strop that came with the 7 day set, but I also use my SR Shop paddle strop and have honed two of the wedges with .5 diamond spray, then over to rough leather then finish on premium leather. So far just the Wednesday wedge has presented drag so I may pull out the paddle strop and proceed as I just mentioned above. I also use a Blade Buddy between passes which helps keep the edge. I don't have the patience to strop often so reason I do not use my straights that often, not to mention patience on using a straight for that matter on a daily basis. Unlike yourself, I have gotten lazy once I hit the "60" age bracket.

Don Marco is a very bright and tangy citrus scent. It's one of my favorite citrus scents that I own!
