Thanks Tim! Yes, I had a nice time!

 

Thanks Jason!
All the grandkids share with their friends too.

I am fueling the jet, be there soon to help with eating the burgers.

When I lived in Texas and Arizona I would grill year round. I miss that.

I am glad I am not the only four pass shaver.

Bad stuff happens when the second moment of the information matrix is discontinuous. Even worse when we have a unit root and the time series is unstable leading to infinite variance.

 

Sunday shave: I just refreshed this Robert Williams Purist and now the edge is as scary as the razor looks. I enjoyed the vintage Old Spice so much I decided to give a go today too. This over stuffed Simpsons Chubby 2 has slowed earned it's place in my den. At first I did not like it, even tried to sell it so today was its finally stay or go test. It passed and I will keep for hard soaps and when I have lots of time to shave, I wish the handle was longer..... In the end and epic shave.

 

I'm thinking with what I've learned over the past two plus years of traditional wet shaving my cart shaves would be much better than they were. I just need to motivate myself into putting my shiny toys down and picking up a cart to test this theory. Maybe for Mayhem.

Thanks, Jason. The main reason I picked this set up is because I wanted to try the Maol Grooming splash. Good stuff!

i would love to hear some of the thoughts and opinions the shavers of 40s and 50s had on all the gear/blades and such.lots of history lost..

 

thank you Jason,good morning..

 

fine shave and pic Keith..

 

I’m glad that at least one other person understands that the next step towards solving the Spadson head/ OC ratio must be a matrix inversion in n-dimensional Riemannian space! Thank you Keith for your thoughtful contribution! I’m also toying with the notion that we then move to a Lie group mapping. What do you think Charlie (@wristwatchb)? Hopefully your experiment into the inertial dynamics of children is completed.

Excellent three pass shave today with my Cooper Monobilt, a remarkably efficient razor with a unique folding snap closure razor head design. I have the high level enabling skills of the Cooper Owner’s Club at TSD to thank for kicking my RAD into gear several months ago, but I definitely do not regret the purchase of this highly efficient razor. I always enjoy my shaves with it. Part of the pleasure involves simply preparing the razor for the shave.

I inserted a Suneko blade, snapped the head closed after ensuring that the end tab of the blade was sitting under the hinge. This process is well engineered and always seats the blade perfectly for me. I then lathered up with my favorite Boar brush, the Omega Pro48 and had at it. Three smooth passes later and the baby was put to bed, another bloodless BBS. The Chiseled Face Cryogen AS Splash left me feeling clean, smooth, very cool and ready for church! I wish everyone a happy Sunday! I especially wish my two friends shaving with their newly acquired SS DLC Coated Lupos a great shave!

RAZOR: Cooper Monobilt
BLADE: Suneko
PREP: Cold water rinse
BRUSH: Omega Pro48 Boar

February 23rd
Razor: Razorock SS Lupo
Blade: Feather NHS (1)
Brush: Rick Montalvo/TnS Tip Knot
Pre-shave: PAA The Cube
Soap: A&E Asian Pear
PAA Galactic witch hazel
PAA unscented Star Jelly
AS: A&E Asian Pear

Good morning

Wonderful shave to start the day! Three passes for near BBS. Just a tickle from the alum on my right jaw where I did some heavy buffing yesterday.

The SS Lupo is a smooth razor. I found it intuitive, easy to find angle and easily adjusted for the extra weight in comparison to the aluminum version. The rings towards the top of the handle provide enough grip and are perfectly placed for a balanced feel. I look forward to the next few shaves with it.

Have a great day!

 

Lovely, Gary!

 

It was worth shoveling the snow to get a taste of bbq. My neighbors think I'm crazy....if they only knew what I shaved with.

Very nice shave Keith! I like that knot but the handle on it does look a tad short.

I know my grandfather used a straight. My brother has it for a keepsake as its unusable now . Dont know what he used later in life but sure would be interesting to know. He was born in 1898 and passed in 2003 . I should ask my mother if she knows .

 

Great shave Jeff!

 

Terrific shave, Jeff!

 

Nice pic Gary! Love the smell of Sandpiper.

 

awesome shave and pic Jim..

thank you Jim,good morning..
