    Breaking the 5th amendment is when you get that 6th soap, right?

    Really?!?!?! I am 600 posts behind and no time to catch up:

    Sunday: A scary looking Robert William Purist as long as I am careful about the pointy bits on the heel and tip it delivers a great shave.

    Monday is safety razor day, 2011 R41 with a Silver Blue blade. I put a fat, heavy brass handle on her today. As always delivers a very close shave.

    Thanks guys. I appreciate the kind words.
    We're already four days into the month, and the thread was lacking intrigue other than a cursory discussion of cross-border cheese smuggling. This was my humble contribution. ;)

    Comrade @NCoxSTL said you made nice shaving bowls. I had no idea what he was talking about. :signs002:
    Rick, I planned to attend the Sam Sung School of Photography with you (on the 2-for-1 Senior Discount Program), but I couldn't get in the building! Can someone please tell me why they locked the front door on the first day of school?

    Shave #2 with the Wagner. Dont know why i wait for 3 days growth to use this but maybe i like the challenge.
    Feeling a bit raw in places but smooth as the countertop. Thats with only 2 passes .
    Stropped 10 on canvas( formerly work pants) then 30 or so on leather(old belt).....nice and slow. Came out pretty damn sharp if you ask me . Here's to progress! Cheers !

    The Oriental SPICE I would describe as citrus with a nice touch of spice . It grew on me. My favorite is still the Mosswood.

    Awesome shave, Patrick! That is a beautiful French point razor. You don't see that many Fr. points.

    I used to wear a thin jacket more or less all winter, till it got 10F and below. Now, I put on my wool under shirts on when I get the first hard frost. When it gets below 10F, I'm fully wooly, wool hat, shirt, gloves, under everything. Since the blood thinners, man oh man.
    The bugs disappear after a good frost, I'm ok with that.

    Good Monday morning to everyone!
    Hope your day is great!
    Gotta get people up and going so...
    Had a great shave this morning!
    The blade more or less was usable throughout 2 passes head and face with a witch hazel clean up.
    I could use these blades all the time, nice.
