    Really glad you’re enjoying it, Joe! After more than 50 yrs of uneducated single pass DE shaves with my trusty Krona, I’m grateful for the education I received here, Sensei! The Shake Sharp was a gesture of appreciation for guidance received.

    Gorgeous pic as usual. Jim. May I ask where you sourced the boar knot for your brush? I’ve been searching (i.e. Golden Nib, Shave Forge, Maggards) for a 26mm Boar knot with no success.

    That is pretty awesome, Jeff. I am glad you found a doctor like that.

    Houston does have some good food. It doesn't get much credit for that, IMO.

    Good morning everyone!
    Not much internet yesterday, down most of the day.
    Maybe, just maybe it will be better today.
    I noticed a mention of a GEM Junior from what I could read, so I got out the First SE I owned to do the job.
    Installed a new Pesonna GEM blade, this combo never lets me down.
    Decided it needed a vintage type software to match.
    20200409_073805.jpg
    Got out my Choo Choo mug and a beautiful brush to finish off the appeal.
    The lather was sufficient to complete the work and was usable at any standard.
    2 passes head and face only one little leak, high on the left cheek.
    Though it was a crash landing, been a while since I'd done that.
    Further inspection showed a small bump that was smoothed out.

    Clean and smooth ready for the day.
    Stay healthy
    Keep safe

    ENJOY!
