  7. Thanks Gary
    I'm really liking the Parker slant.
    It feels like a slant, but somehow different.
    Seems the blade is torqued just enough
    to make it work a tad better. The blade feel is less too, like a super speed.
    Give me a week or two and I might
    recomend it.
    FYI

  14. Great pictures this morning, gentlemen. Meet up breakfast was fun. We are going to go to a couple of antique malls this afternoon, but here is the haul so far.

  18. Tossing this up on the main thread in addition to the meet up thread for all to see.

    A few pics from the breakfast portion of the meet up. Weather report - Thunder, Lightning, Rain - OH MY!!!! Seriously...it needs to stop or we'll need boats to get around. As you can tell, however, it didn't dampen the crew.

    The new Blood on Steel is an awesome soap. I forget the exact scent profile but we'll make it available. It will be available on the Stirling website in a couple of days when Rod gets back to Arkansas. More to follow.

    I have the remaining brushes - will post up the info on those either tomorrow or Monday as I mentioned before. I'd do it today but a group is about to head out into the wilds of St. Louis hunting razors!!! Antique stores here we come!!!

    I know he's not on here, but a special shout out to Leon at Golden Corral. Our server made the breakfast happen with ease. AND he made Adam quiet for a few minutes. Talk about major duty!
