Almost to the finish line...​

First, Happy New Year to all my TSD brothers. May 2025 bring you happiness, health and prosperity. 새해 복 많이 받으세요.

Timing is everything and I finished this tub of La Tierra Mohada CK-6 formula before 2025 starts. I saw @Primotenore used his Cobra Classic so I was inspired, but I forgot to wipe down before the picture. Two classic stanks to wrap this soap up, YSL Reve Gauche in the tin can and Frediric Malle Musc Ravaguer. I will take the next to enjoy some variety and select the next 3017 target.

Happy New Year!!!​

Receive this from a member here with a tiny scooped out. used it nearly exclusively for less than a year and a quarter.



Now I'm sad it's gone.

Well done, it sounds like you enjoyed it.

Kicking off 2025 with some variety before selecting my next 3017. I wanted an epic shave so I picked some of my top performers. I do enjoy this butterscotch Roney brush and it works great with Tabac, I know I am going to get some slick shaving cream. This big 8/8 full hollowRevisor doesn't just look the part, it has a fantastic edge. What a better to finish off an epic shave, over sprayed Kouros. Now the whole apartment building can enjoy the stank with me.

Congrats!

Do the windows open in your building? Asking for a friend.

Glad you're here, Keith. Happy New Year.
On to the next 3017.
Post your progress!

They do but..... it is too cold to keep them open. Korous does mix well with grilled pork belly and kimchi.

Enjoying a week of variety. The stars of these two shaves were the vintage stanks and my 2011 R41.

In other words, it would be reminiscent of a visit to Piggly Wiggly.

HappyNew Year, Charlie. Y'know,I heard someone mention a Piggly Wiggly during a filming of the TV drama-DATELINE. Well, what else can you say when there's a Piggly Wiggly in the filming area? (Without question, the mention of Piggly Wiggly made me sit straight up on my couch).

Happy New Year, Paul. I hope all is well, my friend.

I fell on Sunday (inattention, rightfully scolded for not using the handrail, bumps/bruises/no breaks/doing OK), but I am still a bit sore. To top things off, I picked up a respiratory infection. Thankfully, I am on the mend. I'm not back to feeling like a million bucks yet, but at least I'm better than a $1.98.

I knocked off three days of whiskers yesterday and shaved again this morning. That alone made me feel better.

We are expecting a winter storm on Sunday, so the grocery stores 'round here are getting emptied out. Sure wish we had a neighborhood Piggly Wiggly, as I'm sure they would have an ample winter supply of pork belly and Kimchi. I think this is why @Keithmax always asks me to take him to The Pig when he visits the US. He Digs The Pig and has the t-shirt to prove it.

Take care, Paul.

I'm so sorry about yor fall-something that has happened to me on more than one occasion in recent times. LIke you, I have some respiratory isues to deal with. WEll, maybe it's just a bad cold with the cough just happening, but it's been uncomfortable. I may visit the doc next week if my Mucinex doesn't help. I had RSV a yesar or so ago-what a nuisance of a disease THAT is. I'll settle all this with my doc next week.

I'm glad you were abl to shave recently-you remember me talkinabout me having a bad flu years ago and my Mom telling me one morning "I thinkit's time for you to try a shower and shave-could make you feel a little better". It DID.
