    The wedding is my wife's best friend's middle daughter that is getting married. They are like family to us. The area that we will be going to is Portage which is about 70 miles east of Pittsburgh in the Allegany mountains......beautiful country.

    I checked the seller's other listing on E-bay and he did not have a handle lot listed. I cannot answer that but it is interesting.

    Too many razors to make it a nightly thing. You have to wait for the weekend so you will have time.;)

    Adjustable Arko August!!

    August 15

    Razor - Qshave (Futur clone) (6)
    Blade - [​IMG] (3)
    Soap - Arko
    Brush - I*V10 The Moreau Hybrid
    Post - Alum

    Final shave on this Voskhod and number three with the Qshave wide open. Had to go back to the hybrid brush again. Not only is the mesquite great to look at and hold, that hybrid knot just knocks my socks off. Every time. Arko is easy to lather anyway but with this brush it just wills itself into existence. Quick load and enough lather to run a carwash with. The blade was smooth and the wide open gap on the Qshave made it easy to get the baby as always. Another fantastic shave in the books and we'll move on to something else tomorrow.

    Speaking of moving on - we are not officially halfway through August. Say what?!?!?!?! Yep. It's the 15th. Time to start dusting off those single edges as SEptember is only two weeks away!! Have a fantastic Friday!!

    I never was that far southwest in PA. I took Rt 80 into Ohio, then south and west to go to a Promisekeepers convention in Indiannapolis at the Hoosier stadium in June '94. I had accommodations at State Univ. of Indiana-Bloomington which is approximately 50 miles southwest of Indiannapolis.

    I've made that run many times. It can be treacherous at times, snow squalls or deer can ruin a day.

    I think I've got a couple of those. Might give them a try. I though about doing an inventory of my blades. They fit in a container near to the size of a Styrofoam Big Mac box. I like to live close to the edge.
    I've recycled some scrap metal in my time. With enough split ball end tubes maybe...?
