Terrific first outing with the Monobilt, Rick!

We'll have to see when he weighs in but I do think so. I don't know of any other but I certainly don't know everything. (Don't tell my wife. She still thinks I do.)

 

fine cooper shave Rick..

 

With some of these pictures showing up it may be time to remind the old-timers here, and inform the newer crowd, of my love of "bad picture moments". And, also the fact that I posses in my collection a picture that I guarantee will outdo anything I've seen so far. So far, I've kept the Cartel vault closed and refused to unleash it. However, if the current level of eye bleach photos continues I may have no choice as Czar but to fire the final salvo in the war.

 

I was up and shaved by the time you posted that this morning Gary. My daughter learned to schedule her days from her mother - too many events all happening at once. She slept late, got one of the granddaughters to a dentist appointment just in time, and finished packing for a week's cruise with a few minutes to spare before we were set to drive to Texas. I had planned a stop at the flea market while we were 60 miles west, and we had an extra 20 minutes to hit the Goodwill, too.

 

I feel for Clint @clint64. I've live in 4 different locations around Atlanta. Anytime you have to take I-285 to get to or from home to work, there will be suffering. "Rush Hour" means it takes an hour to got 15-20 miles.

I was wondering if those were owned or wild. I see solution, but it requires lots of charcoal and BBQ sauce.

Thank you Joe!

Thanks Jim! If they weren't such a small pool of them, I'd recommend everyone seek one out! Maybe some enterprising Chinese retro-engineer will get on it...
I'd order another if it was all brass & nickle plated.

Thank you Gary, and thanks for the assist! Glad I took the bait.

 

Terry. Have a good day.

 

Good team to design a brush. (Amigo1 & Amigo2) Would have liked to be in on that design. Can't wait to see it.

 

Thanks Jason!
The man is getting less and less, to many things broke and wore out. I've never played sports of any type, but If he can dribble the ball and pass and catch it fine a real coach can get him up to speed. He likes basketball, a lot, so I'll do what I can. He's only 7, but the high schoolers say he's doing unbelievably good making baskets. Yea, he goes and plays with the big dogs after we end our play time.
What's the song....
"I ain't as good as I once was,
But I'm as good once as I ever was."
Once that is....

That would work, but this is the most common dish https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sautéed_reindeer

 

I've lived in Detroit, I've lived in Phoenix.
You guys with your traffic can have it.
It takes me 20 minutes to go from home to work, 18 miles. Although Chicago, Saint Louis, los Angeles, Atlanta all are worse. I'll pass!
Thanks much, but I'll keep my back woods.

Fantastic shave Rick. I need to go by the local Indian grocery and see what they have in stock.

 

Come back for an extended visit. The traffic seems to get worse every few months.

 

Thank you Doug. I hope it turns out ok.

 

Didn't do that. I've grown a little distant from sample aftershaves. To me, they're like One and Done...a One-trick Pony...Johnny One-Note.

 

Sunday morning all and hello everyone!
Hope your day goes well!!!
Installed a Gillette Silver Blue blade in the Monobit and went to work. These blades cost me about 15% more than a Feather blade, so you'd think they are at least as good, right? Well on the first pass I was not disappointed. On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being a Feather, I'd give them a 9.5. No tugging, the blade more or less just wiped off the lather taking the fur with it. A slight resistances, but all in all a 2 pass shave with a 3rd witch hazel touch up pass. I'm pleased with this shave, feels good, a blade I like. The old gord came almost as clean, 2 passes with a 3rd witch hazel touch up pass. Still could use a 2cd blade for a bowling ball smooth shave, but not bad for a blade that was already used once on the mug.
These cost me more than the feathers but it's nice that I have a blade that can do a nice job if I need to switch. Everthing else worked as expected.
Think I'll give these blades another try!
Hoping today will be a quiet one, but the wife and daughter are on the phone planning the day, I fear. Well....
I'm clean and smooth for whatever scheme they come up with!
Everyone
Enjoy!

Good morning!

Awesome shave to start the day! Three passes for near BBS. Just the faintest tickle from the alum.

Have a great Sunday!

 

Wonderful shave, Terry!

 

Thanks Jim!
Felt good too!
Only about 650 posts behind, when I quite last night.

Coffee!
