    I keep an Amazon Echo in my bathroom, so I can just tell Alexa to play the top songs by Boston. :D

    It's always amazing to me the variety, quality of music and harmonizing that came out of bands with just a trio of members. Boston, Rush, ELP, ZZ Top and so many others from the 60s/70s/80s. Moving into 4 members (most times a dedicated vocalist) expands the list exponentially of course, but the 3 member groups just nail it solid.

    I really enjoy your SOTD photos, Jim. The staging and lighting are always striking! Lovely razor! I'm currently waiting for my Tradere and am on the Wolfman waiting list, but will probably not be buying any more modern artisan razors. I may not even get the Wolfman. My Auto Strop VC4 just knocks me out with the consistent quality of shave it delivers.

    Good report, Paul! What do you think is causing the cuts lately?

    I'm probably "digging in" a little too much, especially as I consider the cut areas most important in my shave.

    Great selection, Bill. We have a Summit propane that’s almost 15 yrs old! Still works like a charm!

    Boston had 5 originally, but they're down to 3 now with 2 having died.

    There you go! I still remember my parents dancing on the patio to Glen Miller and Duke Ellington! Great memories!

    Be ye baptized in the smooth faced shavette shave, my brethren.

    Repent from thy wickedness of safety razor slothfulness.

    See the light of deliverance from the plaque of hair removal irritation.

    Do I get an amen?

    Back to the '66' for the basic focus. Whipped up a nice lather, but limited myself to 2 passes this morning. Went xtg, xtg and I am happy with the results.
    Have a great day all!

    Let me know if you wanna take my DX for a test drive. Currently I only have 1 ProGuard blade, but I'll send it along too.

    Thanks, Bill, I appreciate the offer, but in the interest of not falling down another rabbit hole, I’ll respectfully decline!

    Bravo Joe. Let me guess, Carnivale or Colosseo. We went to an Italian restaurant and sat outside since it was a nice evening.
