    Thanks Gary! Every shaver has their favorite setup. Everytime that I use Mad Max, I am in complete awe as to how she shaves.

    it's a well earned and deserved set custom built to your spec.truly personal.one thing that can't really be replicated in a de razor format..well Tom could build a "one of" i guess....:)..you know what i mean..

    Thanks, Joe! The scent strength of the lather is medium, but the longevity of the aftershave is a good 4-5 hours. I love the scent - just enough musk and amber added to the sandalwood to create a great blend.

    Hornets are evil! So was the deer fly today.

    Thank you for rescuing the first one, and best of luck searching for your second. I say thank you because rescuing dogs is 1,000% better than going to a "Puppy Mill".

    Thank you, Clint! No more pain from the stings now, just itchy.

    Yes, I do know what you mean. However, I would take a vintage DE razor over a modern/custom DE anytime.

    He would be gone in a New York minute. He can never be off leash outside of a fenced area. Of course these same rules would apply to pretty much every sighthound.

    No shave yesterday. I just got busy with stuff and ended up late into the evening and decided to skip it. I like straight razor shaving with a little more growth anyway. Since I used a preshave, I did bowl lather. The Omega brush in a 3D printed ABS handle worked very well. The knot has been soaking with intermittent lathering and rinsing for 4 days. The new boar brush smell is just about gone.

    The shave was really really good. 3 pass BBS shave everywhere but my lower neck which is so prone to irritation I don't even try for BBS there.

    The extra brush is a 3D printed handle printed with a wood fill filament. It looks better than expected.
