That Belmont is gorgeous, Gary, and your photo beautiful! How's the shave compare to the New Standard head? Just curious? Enjoy your shaves!

thank you Danny.was a fine shave indeed....take care..

I am lightly swirling, and I am not splaying the brush down into the puck.

Thanks Danny. Leonardo da Vinci named the Mona Lisa, and that was that.

Seriously, give the razor a name you will enjoy using. It is unique, and I predict that it will be in your Den a very long time. Your creativity, willingness to experiment, and sense of fun is inspiring. I can't wait to see photos of the razor after @MrEE tricks it out. Does plating come in Roll Tide Bama Red?

Good morning, Gary.

thank you Jeff.i would say the belmont is smoother for me,but.. the only new standard/improved/bostonian type razor i had was the tuckaway version with a short handle.i only used it a few times before i passed it along. this was my set but mine had red cloth inside.was from 1921 by serial #

Oh, ok. That makes more sense than what I pictured.

Lovely shave, Joe, with a great kit! Love that C-Mon brush! Glad your shave went well! Enjoy your day!

Pasta is healthy in small portions. It is a processed carb and will spike your sugar quickly. That's why you need meatballs to go with it. The protein slows down the sugar absorption from the pasta. It is another reason we have dessert at the end of the meal. You have all that food to metabolize to slow down the sugar spike from the dessert. It really isn't a good thing to have processed sweets especially on an empty stomach.

Thanks, Gary! It's a beautiful looking razor!

Thank you Jeff! My JR#396 and this C-Mon are my best brushes.

Fantastic Evan.

very cool..

It's definitely good stuff. I didn't realize that a lot of the so-called "soaps" that were gifted to me were actually croaps. This Kaizen with the scent dampened is great stuff! I had a wonderful shave with it this morning. I'll probably use it tomorrow as well.

Blair, the J3 is just a cool looking razor.

Tell that to my 5 year old!

..the sets can be confusing and no rhyme or reason for which gen razor they had..

Thank you Jeff. I shipped two out today. I have one listing still going and might take some photos for 2 more listing this evening.

Fantastic shave Angelo. Love the razor. Happy Birthday.

Thanks, Joe, that's kind of you to say! I appreciate it! I've found that most of the guys sticking on this forum seem to be nice people, yourself included. I have to watch myself at times as my father's weird humor sometimes leaks through on my posts. He was typical of his generation, not much of a talker, but expressed his affection through teasing. One of his favorites, and one I still use with my grandkids is, "I don't care what they say about you; you're all right with me!" Enjoy your day!
