My Fine Steeds





This is Red, the best trail horse I’ve ever had the pleasure to ride and certainly own. When I gave up horses, he was the last to go. Worth many thousands of $$. I gave him to a gal and her daughter who I knew would love and care for him all the rest of his days.

He was really great to this guy and was rumored to carry iced brewed beverages in his saddle bags for him.



This is My Fine Steed #1. Rumored to have been carefully crafted on 100+ year old equipment from 50+ year old forged blanks.

My top shaver and the one I always go to for a reminder of ‘why I do this’. It still sports the great edge given by the man who crafted it.



My Fine Steed #2

I thought I should have a second on when they became available. 50% of this shipment was gone in days.

It is a more modern forging from a very similar die set. It rivals the first and I’m happy to have it.

Not quite so thin an noisy. A little longer on both sides of the pivot. And has a bit of a smile built in.

Wholesaled with specific instructions ‘not to be rehoned’ before retailing.



A showdown was called for.......



The combo delivered a remarkable shave. My Fine Steed #1 maybe was a little smoother since it had been on sub-micron cBN pasted balsa strops.

If I had not been such an impulsive fanboy, perhaps I would have opted for one of the slight variations of this same shaver that are from this same forged blank.

Happy Easter Holiday to all!

 

You had a beautiful horse Bill! I am glad you found him a nice home. The razors are stunning! Have a great Resurrection Sunday!

Watch view….inside turn 1 at Circuit of the Americas.

 

Beautiful shaves, Jeff. That stub tail is off the charts. I am glad y'all are bonding. Take care.

 

Gorgeous shave, Joe. I think you have this shaving thing figured out. Take care.

 

Love the juice, Joseph. Awesome shave and take care.

 

Thank you Clint, enjoy your weekend.

 

Thankful Maya is better, Clint.

 

Yummy!

 

Awesome from every angle, Clint. Hope your weekend is great.

 

Thanks Danny! As you know, we all enjoy shaving with our gear. I know that it wasn't long ago that shaving was just a drag. I am glad we all got enlightened while our wallets got lightened.

 

Thanks Clint. It has been great having him around today.

 

Thanks Joe. It is fun having him around. Take care.

 

A mighty fine cigar to wind down a mighty fine day.

Beautiful shave Joe. Sounds like the soap is a winner. Take care.

 

Awesome lather and shave! Take care.

 

Thanks, Danny; Happy Easter!

 

Thanks Jeff. MWF is hard to bet.

We basically had to get the pumps out of storage and hook them back up. Broke a plastic fitting on the pool sweep pump but we was able to get the main pump going. Throwed the shock to it and some chlorine. I can already see a difference with the water this afternoon. I'll let the shock work for a couple of days and then vacuum it out. It was a lot easier this year. Last year was the first time the pool had been run in three years....talk about a job. New pump, etc. This is the pool at mom and dad's house. They did not want to do anything with the pool before they passed away.

Take care.

 

Thanks Joe....we hit about 65 today. Take care.
