Soap - Stirling Bonaparte
Brush - Omega 10060 BoS

Say hello to one last reminder of summer and hello to the first blast of winter. Highs hit the upper 60s here today. Expecting snow and a low in the teens tomorrow. Who knows - we might even get a tornado in between. Just how it goes around here. Whatever the case it was a fun shave tonight. On to the Muhle 41 to put a little aggression in the shave and I chose the Laser Stainless blade. This is another Indian from Vidyut Metallics. Not the smoothest nor sharpest blade you'll find. A bit draggy even with the aggressive Muhle doing its thing. How bad is it? Not horrible, but three passes and some touch ups netted a near-BBS. Not perfect by any means. Still, you can't argue with that result.

The soap was Bonaparte with its Veg-like scent and attitude. Worked into a great lather with the small Omega, I would call the lather perfection. At least that went exactly as it should. A new week is almost here. Monday looms and I see a lot of talking went on here today. I'll be catching up in a few! Have a great start to your week!

Looks great Jim. If the shelves were adjustable you have room for one more shelf and more room for gear.

 

Nope!

 

Thanks Blair!

 

Williams is a tricky one for me as well. And, I can't say I've ever gotten it to the quality I expect from Stirling, MWF or Tabac. I did, however, finally get it to last through a pass without totally dissipating away. Lots of water. And yes, hard water doesn't help it at all.

 

Very nice Jim.....now show us what is hiding in the trunk of the Chevelle.

 

fine shave Neal..

 

Very nice shave from the Cartel headquarters. Great report Czar Neal!

 

The boys in Russia aren't afraid of a little Clubman. They bathe in the stuff.

 

They are real MEN!

 

I think your wife's perception is wrong. I still see plenty of open space there. Clearly - you don't have ENOUGH!

 

and the women too..

 

I don't know about that. Do you remember the picture of the new security detail for the Cartel headquarters that Neal posted?

 

I like how you think!

 

Awesome! I feel better about my meager hoard already...
Fantastic den!

 

Thank you Blair!

Well, I finally caught up with the thread. And it's bedtime? No Spicy or Citrus Sunday shave for me. We'll see what Monday brings.

 

Yeesh...even your rows are perfect. Awesome den!

 

yes vaguely.fair enough..but they were hand picked..
