    Thanks, Clint! It’s raining today, so it doesn’t look like I’ll get out much today!

    I’ve had the ceramic dish for several years. I bought several pucks on Amazon a few years ago. I think they still sell it. The pucks are quite reasonable. It’s my favorite goto soap. If you like smelly soaps, it may not be your cup of tea.

    Thanks, Jim! It’s the largest Badger knot I own. Feels really great face and head lathering.

    Great shave, Paul, congratulations! Nothing like a great bloodless shave!

    What a bummer. Maybe the locals are after their cut of your stimulus check.

    Last couple of those roadside chats I've had have demonstrated one of the benefits of age. Maybe they are thinking of dear old dad when they decide for a warning instead of the ticket.

    Sorry about the wait on your brush! I’ve been waiting since the end of February for my Broman razor. I’m hoping it’s not lost in the mail. I ordered the dang thing last December!

    For me the second shave with a Feather is the best.

    Sorry about the shave, James! Refined Shaving’s blade evaluations revealed that the second shave with a Feather is always smoother. That’s been my experience as well. I had a Tech shave with a new Feather this morning, and ended up with some irritation as well. I expect tomorrow’s shave will be much smoother.

    Beautiful image, Jim! Just out of curiosity, how heavy is that razor?

    I’ve been waiting since the end of February for a Broman razor from the UK, but received a new seat belt sleeve guide for my TR6 in three days.

    Yes indeed, Jeff, thank you :). I'll do better tomorrow at "handling" the aftershave.

    Nice shave Jeff! Congrats on your beautiful, new brush! 26 mm knots are large enough for me.

    @timabababaluka SWMBO communication is a high art. It took me 40 years to begin to get the hang of SWMBO#1’s signals before her departure for the Elysian Fields. I’m only four years into deciphering SWMBO#2’s indirect messaging! It’s definitely not a cakewalk, but “yes, dear” is always a good fallback position.
