    Love the pic, and it looks focused well enough to me, Joseph. Love that centred label as well...

    Thanks Tim!
    A polite way to say...
    "The boy's lost his mind" ? ;)

    Thank you, Tim! Although I have 284 open blade shaves, I still try to improve my technique. Today, I did something different in shaving my moustache area ATG. Normally, I just use my right hand because I feel more comfortable, but I did use my left hand for the right side of that area. Lo and behold, there wasn't any problems. I attribute this ability because I use both hands shaving my face and neck. So, today was the first day to use both hands on the sensitive moustache area.

    To be honest, Jim, they can sell resin handles cheaper than I can even buy the resin for. I just got 2 kg bottles of resin and hardener for $160. Best deal I’ve gotten because of the volume, but I bet in the end it will still be about $8 each for a full handle blank.

    Thank you again Evan. I absolutely love the brush. The brush is only surpassed by your generosity.

    I am sorry, Paul. I should have been more specific. I meant Stirling soaps in general. When Stirling produced soaps in their infancy stage, it wasn't the great performer as it is today. I am guessing that Jeff's Obsidian is probably the original formula and that is why is was not enthused with the performance.

    Yes, I was aware of his passing. Saw them live a few times back in University. Love them. The Hip and now them. Way, way too soon.
    Funny you mention Dean Brody- he is from a small village about 30 minutes drive away from here.
