    @jgreenepa, wishing you and your Dear Bride Happy Birthdays this week!

    @b1hart you don't always have to hit the target to achieve success. Blair, I see you haven't read The Cartel Handbook. New guys. Sheesh.

    @MrEE no worries about a CT. You're safe, Evan.

    Thanks, Jim. The good news is that I got through 2 passes, and was adequately shaved. It could have been better--but it could most certainly have been a lot worse. ;)

    :happy097: That photo!

    Yeah, I know what you mean. I will say this, though. Aside from the weepers, which I never even felt, it was a pretty comfortable shave. Certainly a handle-with-care razor, though ;)

    Optimism is not everything it's cracked up to be, Tim.

    Silver lining, no? I didn't even have to explain myself in church--2 passes was close enough. Got super lucky there :D

    Lovely greens, Jim. I can see why you would have a hard time describing that scent. A few of those ingredients I can’t picture what they would smell like, and one I don’t even know what it is.
    Another beaut, Gary. That Gold Flare Tip with that cool case is awesome!
    Interesting results, Clint. Do you have that thing wide open? Thinking of dialing it back a bit?
    Love the L’Orange Noir too, Perry! Your enabling worked. American Blend incoming.
    Your descriptions are fantastic, Jim. You made gunpowder and sulphur sound pleasant!
    Hope your day goes well, Joe. Proraso is a fine choice for MM.
    Happy Birthdays to you and yours, Jeff!
    Your den looks full- I would be willing to store one of your Shake Sharps here long term. No charge.

    Sorry guys I have not been involved much. A lot is going on and it has been a busy weekend. Today is a no shave day but I did get a very nice shave in late yesterday afternoon. Take care. 20200203_064359.jpg

    Beautiful looking shave, Clint! Love all the greens, and sorry to hear about so many reds. That brush handle, btw, is beautiful :D

    Thanks, Perry. So far I haven't suffered any embarrassment from it. Hoping things go a little more smoothly by the end of week 1 ;)

    Thank you, Jason! Glad to hear some American Blend is on the way. I'll feel really bad if you don't like it.

    I believe @b1hart was taunting you Elmer. Remember the last guy who did that?

    Awesome shave and report, Blair. I really like the looks of the Ambassadors I've been seeing. Nice watch! :D
