  2. Excellent picture, Joseph! I haven't tried the Silk formula, but if there was ever am ingredient that sounds like it should be in a shave soap, it is slippery elm bark.
  3. i have heard that as well.not done many blade comparisons as i like what i have,which is lots..i hear bic though and think of the disposable..or the pen..both worked but..one thinks cheap..:D
  4. Beautiful shave Clint! She is a gorgeous razor! Congrats!
  5. very good,then you know way more than i sir..:)
  6. :signs011:
    Thanks pal!

    One of the reasons I held off trying them is because I associate Bic with 'cheap', but they were a really pleasant surprise. There is virtually no glue dot on them either. Those bloody dots drive me mad!:angry019:
  7. Thank you, Blair!
    Great shave, Dan! A comfortable DFS sounds good to me!
  8. Super shave Gary! Have a great day!
  9. fine shave Joe,hope the pinky is ok..stitches?
  10. Great report & setup James! Proraso Red and ToBS Sandalwood. Fantastic complimenting combo in my book!

    Very nice Joseph! Just goes to show that NEW isn't always better....

  11. Beautiful set up and a gorgeous razor, Joe! :)

    Very sorry to hear about the cut on the pinky--hopefully nothing that requires medical attention. It's strange, but I have come very close to cutting my off-hand with the shavette. A few times. I seem to be most at risk when rinsing the blade or preparing to switch hands. It's getting to the point that I'm convinced that the most serious wound I'll receive with an open blade will probably be on my hand. :scared001:
  12. thank you Joe,hope your day gets better sir..:)
  13. Thanks pal! It is indeed a wonderful combination. I'll definitely be using it again in the near future!
  14. An Instant Pot or other electric pressure cooker does a pretty good job with steel cut oats as well.
  15. Fantastic report and photo Primo. Sorry the soap didn't work out but at least you sold it quickly.
  16. try one in your flare tip and ride the cap..;)..
  17. Fantastic photos Andrew. Take care and be safe.
  18. This morning for breakfast I cooked a bowl of cold cereal.
  19. Great, now you have me curious about the '13.
    Ouch, Joe.
    I hope the cuts heal quickly.
  20. their lighters are awesome,though i miss the flame adjuster..
