    Razor: Wade & Butcher 5/8 French Point
    Brush: Opus Shaving Brushes “Underdog”
    Lather: Los Jabones de Joserra Gredos
    Aftershave: Los Jabones de Joserra Gredos
    Additional Care:
    Stirling Alum Block
    Stirling Unscented Glacial Balm
    Thayer’s Witch Hazel - Original

    The W&B came our to play today. Additionally, the end is near for this soap. Approximately 5 or 6 shaves left before the Edmund Fitzgerald comes calling.

    Another superb three pass shave has left my face feeling smooth and refreshed. There were not any weepers or cuts, however, the alum was slightly vocal today along the jawline. Go figure.

    Another round of painting which now has the walls completed. Tomorrow, my most dreaded part of the process, the painting of the molding.

    Time to rest up. Have a great day gentlemen.

  11. I concur regarding that razor as I have one in my den as well. You may have just inspired me to use it this weekend. Fantastic shave Barry.

  12. On a finnish online auction site there is a 1963 Slim adjustable in decent condition. Haven't really seen much, if any, of the Gillette adjustables for sale here. If it's still there next month, I might have to buy it.. :D

  16. awesome Joe.i like to blue tape the walls where they meet the molding edges..takes the stress out of it.ceiling/molding edge gets a thin chunk of poster board while painting the section.i had a sturdy stool to stand on and periodically wiped the poster board edge,but it turned out well.:):eatdrink047:.i am not a painter..;)

  17. Very nice shave Paul. Since it appears that you had an abundance of lather, why not go back to North Porcupine with a second pass? You are allowed. :chores016:

  19. Techs are always a joy to use! I have only one though, maybe from the early sixties. British, top cap is brass and the rest aluminium.
    Artisan soaps are great as well. Might have to get me some, haven't had any for a while..
