Welcome to a thundery and rainy Friday evening. Storms moved in about the time I headed home so the timing was perfect. Had dinner and an early shave, for me. Stayed with the Slim and Sharp Star and switched to one of my I*V brushes. That hybrid badger/boar still makes me weak in the knees. Man is it a great feel and a great lather too! Arko has no chance against this knot. Three passes with the Slim and Sharp Star and it's as smooth as the first use. No problems and a BBS finish to go into the weekend strong! Hope you have a great one.

Thank you, Tim. This is only a Stirling sample so it was very easy to put in the bowl. I did make the bowl to match these brushes, though.

fabulous pic..

 

A year or 2 ago I was posting SOTN pics every night. I stopped using my photobucket and have been doing FB groups, but now i am really digging Instagram. *those places just aint the same as a old school forum with awesome picture quality. the phone apps i think take away picture quality. seems my pics look nicer when i post them here.. also great ppl here too.. so here is a sampling of my shaves from the last year...
