    Thank you, Danny. I can't take all of the credit, Dr. Mrs. Primo had something to do with their character. :)

    Excellent travel shaves and photos Paul. I would have never thought of using a newspaper as a strop. Bravo. :happy088:

    I have a Chevy too, but it's a sedan...Cobalt. Yours looks great, and why not with its name(Colorado)?

    Thank you, Paul.
    I walked into the dealership with the intent to buy a Colorado Z71 and drove out with a ZR2. It sits 2 inches higher and is 3 and a half inches wider. It just looked mean in comparison.

    Good morning everyone!
    I received my new KIA blades in the mail and thought I stuffed them in my dopp bag..... I thought.

    Well after the first pass ouch, ouch, ouch.
    No way people compare these to Feathers,
    Put my glasses on and....Dorco's.
    No wonder! Well I keep at least 3 ten packs of Feathers in my kit, so I loaded a Feather and gave myself a good shave. 2 Feathers, 2 passes head and face, no issues, ready for church.

    Lesson learned...put glasses on before loading dopp kit.
    To all
    Enjoy

    Thank you for the kind words gentlemen. I had read about the newspaper strop on srp a few years ago, I’m not sure who had posted it, but thanks to their experimenting I was able to shave good.

    Happy father's day Fellas! I hope yours is going well.
    Today I got a shulton old spice binoculars decanter full of the good stuff!

    It smells amazing! It brought me back to when I was a little kid!

    The alcohol they used has a unique smell that I only smell in antique or vintage aftershave. I associate it with smelling after shaves from the Avon lady lol.

    BTW, it smells almost exactly the same as Sterling's Spice soap, but the vintage is just a touch better.
    Have a great fathers day! [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Sample Sunday. Terrific shave to start the day! Three passes for near BBS, just a whisper from the alum.

    The kids and granddogs are coming up today for some smoked tri-tip. Should be a lazy Sunday with family.

    Have a great day!

    Lesson learned based on today's shave-for small pucks, use small brushes. The Jayaruh #59 "smothered the Razorock puck.
