  2. Speaking of "Healers", here's my "granddog" Kingsley, a Red Healer (a.k.a. Australian Cattle Dog), whilst on a weekend visit.
    p.s. I think a Pitbull had its way with one of Kingsley's ancestors. :cool:

    Both of these were nice shaves. I've been busy this week and haven't been able to keep up with the thread much. Things will slow down a little soon.

    Hope everyone is well!

    Clint, you know Charlie is poking fun, but do it! Relationship points for showing interest. Maybe you can get her to google up a shave store or two.
  9. Rick she was very good helping me look for shave sticks and creams. After 30 years I have learned to just go with the flow.

  11. Here's a place that specializes in things sharp or pointy, including shaving stuff. Address is at the bottom of the page.

  12. Good vermouth is pretty nice. And Spanish reds can definitely be good. Any plans to sample some Sherry? I know they come from a different area of Spain, but there has to be better access there than what we have in the states.

  18. Howdy everyone! Have been stupid busy from work, and added a 3 hour round trip daily commute. Still adjusting to those hours. EDRIO is still going strong. Breaking out the hones and getting some of my need to hone pile down.

    Still in my focus of using this brush every shave. Honestly, the knot is getting replaced after my no buy is over, with another Omega boar.
