  2. Besides the lovely razor and setup I have to say that’s fine way to repurpose a bottle of St. Germain. Although I imagine the pleasure is more in the arriving at the empty bottle :happy088:

  3. Hey @Karl G the liqueur bottles make interesting AS containers. They’re 50ml and are therefore TSA compliant, were designed to hold alcohol. They can add a touch of class if you get the right ones. These also take up less square inches on a bathroom shelf.

  4. How could you not grow fond of that blade. What a Weed Chopper❤❤
    Hope I can get my hands on one that size some day.
  5. Thanks guys :thanks:
  6. Today's shave with the Feather DX as part of a six day concentration. Three more days of focus and I get to shave with the new Riga razor! Just touched it up on the jasper stone! It's popping' hairs all along the blade! B7761212-DA94-4C02-AF0B-1DC84075ED35.jpeg

    This is what I'm waiting to shave with!

  11. Another nice Coticule edged French faux frameback... all I think I can make out is “Lurr”

    The scent of this soap is a great Pacific Northwest/Canadian forest smell.

  13. French frameback meets three days of stubble. A little more work than usual but excellent result :happy036:

    I tried out my homemade roo and linen strop today (thanks @Steve56 for helping out with the sourcing of materials.) Easier than I expected and I think easier than the paddle I’ve been using for years. I plan on getting used to it slowly. :happy088:

    Hot water preparation

    T&H Wellington Super Badger
    Barrister’s Reserve Waves
