  6. Thanks Charlie!
    Thank you, Blair!
    Very nice setup, Neal!
    Awesome shave Keith!
    Awesome photo, Jim! Perhaps the Dart is reminding you to use less pressure.
    Great travel setup and awesome food, Jeff!
    Beautiful shot Clint! How does the fibers on the EVO compare to the Simpson synthetic?
    Now you're just showing off, Mark. But that's OK!
    Great shave Jeff!
    Excellent photo and shave Doug! I like the shelf too!

    Razor: Cooper Monobilt
    Blade: Permasharp (3)
    Brush: Simpson X3 Best Badger
    PS: Stirling Menthollated Pre-Shave
    SS & PS: Stirling Ramblin' Man

    Normally today would be Fatboy Friday, but yesterday's mailcall changed that plan. Couldn't let this one wait. I'm really implessed with this Cooper. It shaves smooth, different but smooth. The hook is broken off this one, but it doesn't change how it shaves, the blade just sticks to the cap when opening the razor.

    Anyway, I had a great near BBS 3 pass shave with the monobilt and the alum and AS were kind.

    C40 Every Ready – Restored by @clint64
    Timeless Shaving Bowl
    Gentleman Jon Shave Soap - Sandalwood
    Above the Tie – Kronos, R1 Plate
    Voskhod Blade
    Gentleman Jon Shave Soap – Sandalwood
    Pinaud After Shave Lotion

    I passed up the MWF soap this morning for a soap that showed up in my Christmas stocking. The Gentleman Jon’s is glycerin based and is not a bad soap. The C40 whipped up some nice lather. The soap is nice and thick and one cannot complain about the lather. It seems to lack a little in the glide department. It is not a top of the shelf soap but it is a nice soap and one that I’ll keep in the rotation. I found a nice ceramic dish to melt it into and it works out great.

    Completed a two-pass shave with a few touch ups. Finished it off with some Clubman.

    It is Friday and I hope everyone has a nice and relaxing weekend!

  16. Well, I didn't do a pic, so one out of two ain't bad. But thank you Gary-perhaps today's shave will be the turning point of more great ones to come.

  17. @Linuxguile, that was a nice X-mas family shot. Your wife looks a little different than I recall from her "Happy Baby Dance", and I don't mean just because she's pregnant.
  18. Nice way to finish it off :).

  19. Thank you Andrew. Life is good. I need to scan through and find some recent pictures of your boys.
  20. aaaaah, maybe it's OK for YOU, but I grew 20 years older with that "facial hair extension" (new wave for "beard".....I bet that slang doesn't last long, lol).
