There's no Arko at my local Piggly. I doubt it's at the local CVS, for tht matter. Where IS that woman anyway? Sniffed me out, then walked away, never to be seen since.

Thanks Gary.

Not yet we are at the beginning of a lawsuit. She is the one suing. I have been dealing with this since the end of April. It is a complicated issue but I think we will win in the end. This woman is 40 years old and acts like a spoiled teenager.

Thanks for asking.

Terrific Thursday shave Joe. Straight shavers like us tend to limit their DE shaves. It is a different change of pace for us.

Great setup and shave Danny. Have an Alabama Awesome day.

Excellent shave and setup Gary. Enjoy your day.

Thanks Joe

2 day growth was easy to mow down. 2-pass shave WTG & ATG. Minor feedback from alum bar. No cuts, nicks or weepers. That new lather bowl is nice and works well to make rich lather. It holds heat well once pre-heated.

Very nice Hogie

Thank you, Gary.

Thank you, Joe.

Great pic, setup and shave Hogie. I miss your Italian restaurant adventures.

I like this soap. It really whips up into a easy, creamy and slick lather. I purposely made more than enough lather as you can see below:


I did a rare 3 pass shave because I didn't want to waste the lather. BBS was the final result, but on that unnecessary 3rd pass, I got 2 tiny weeps at the right corner of my mouth. I should have stuck with my usual passes. Lol!
The alum feedback was evident on my neck to say the least. Splashed the AV Ice Blue and got a nice burn. I guess I overshaved. Lol. Have a good evening.

This brush was my first brush two years ago. After breaking it in, I only used it sporadically. I am astounded by how soft it is after sitting dormant for most of the time.

Nice setup Eric. With all the bubbles, I would think the lather would be transparent on your skin. However, if it works for you, then it's great.

hope it all works out.cheers.

thank you Joe.

awesome thursday affairs gents.

That's just the load. Lather was built on the face and dome.

It will...just time and some money.
