    Wow Danny. My sympathy for the pain of this compounded loss.

    There is rejoicing in your sorrow, to be absent from the body is to be present with The Lord.

    I've followed along with everyone's MWF focus with interest. It appears that the idea of soaking the puck for expansion is something that folks do with this product if they are not using it daily. It seems to me that it is in essence turning a triple milled puck into the consistency of many artisan soaps...I'm trying to recall any other triple milled puck that has had this be a strategy with. Interesting.
    Very generous, Bill. Are you forwarding the Sandpiper to Patrick as well? If so, doubly generous.
    Outstanding gear and photo, Jim. I am an unabashed fan of the NEW LC. The Goodwill 175 with a similar baseplate is right there with it, too.
    Great pic, Terry! Another Wednesday, another Williams no show...:)
    Great photo, Perry! I've always loved the turquoise handle on that G5. Very cool.
    Love the simple shape on that Sandalwood handle, Clint. You can do that with such a lovely piece of wood. Interesting that you needed to mute the teeth on the razor. I'm not sure I've heard of that being needed before, but I don't have many modern razors either.
    Cool effect again, Jim. A question I have for you (and a few others) as I know you have a Sheraton/Senator as well as an OC TTO 30s 'Crat. Is the head the same on both? Is the only difference the thinner handle and potential related weight difference on the Sheratons/Senators?
    Practice makes perfect I always say...I need to keep practicing until I can pour 4 fingers worth correctly. I'll have it perfected in about 20 more years...
    Great shave and photo, Joseph.
    Very interesting, Jeff. I would love to shave with my father's or grandfather's razor if I had one. I'm generally not very nostalgic about my vintages, but having one of those would be a lot different. May I ask what your reasoning is behind not using them?
    What a stunning pic, Blair. Love the blues on the blade pack. I said I was done with vintages as well a few years ago. Had all I needed. Then John showed pics of a Bostonian he was selling...then I saw the Goodwill on our Marketplace...then Gary offered me a New Deluxe...I now know for certainty :happy097: that a Barbasol Floating Head and a OC TTO 'Crat are the only two currently on the list...until they're not.:happy102:
    Same question to you, Gary, as I asked of Jim above- What is the difference, if any, of the heads of the Sheraton to your 'Crat OCs? I know you have that beauty British #15 as well...
    Super shave, Daniel. Are you on your Rule/Focus still, or have you moved on?

    Just saw that the Schapenmilk soap from Cold River Soap Works is back in stock. Only $8.95 for a 3.5 oz container. That is what @clint64 used this morning. Made with sheep milk, tallow, lanolin, and shea butter. Sounds like it would be a nice, conditioning soap.

    Thank you, Jason! I was quite lucky to score that G5 in a razor lot a couple of years ago. Really neat razor.

    The Sheratons/Senators came out after the success of the TTO OC 'Crats and had the same head as the 'Crats of the same years. They are a few changes such as how the doors were connected to the base, but nothing too major from the first year of the TTO OC to the last year.
