    Yes, that's it! Here is a video of @Bama Samurai and @RufusT demonstrating the September handshake. You will need to know it by Tuesday. Good luck!

    I'm Irish too. If we can find two more we'll be set. Cause where there are four Irishmen there will be a fifth.

    Three Irish guys walked out of a bar....

    ...wait! It could happen.

    Edit: I honestly didn't know @cmorris357 had posted this when I replied. Great rednecks think alike.

    Hmmm... Whiskey then beer; never fear. Beer then whiskey; very risky. I never retired, but I'm only part time since 2000.

    My Ancestors were largely Scots...we invented distilled alcohol, golf, calculus, stained glass, plaid and haggis. A little something for everybody, and all items on that list could lead to trouble.

    Except for the hula skirt, the suits needed for Hawaii require less room in your luggage. That should leave more room for your shaving kit. Adam, I hope you and your family have a great trip and safe travels. :)

    Well done Adam, my time to learn to hone is coming soon. You progress is an inspiration to me. I can't see sending razors back and forth across the pacific just to have them honed.

    1959 E3 Gillette Fat Boy
    Vulfix Super Badger (660)
    Georgetown G12 Scuttle
    Noxzema
    Proraso Sandalwood cream
    Aqua Velva Ice Blue

    Shave #3 with the Rapira Super Stainless in my '59 Fat Boy set to 6. Paid attention to the angle and once again tried to ride the cap.
    2 Full passes: Pass 1 WTG on my face and XTG on my neck. Pass 2: ATG. Very comfortable. Left me with a near BBS. Did cold water rinse and touch up. Seemed BBS at this point. The Aqua Velva was very quiet today and no whiskers woke up anywhere. Yes! A nice BBS finish.
    :happy036:

    Another nice BBS from the Rapira Super Stainless without a lot of effort. Still felt like there wasn’t a blade in the razor when going WTG. The cold water rinse really helps stand 'em up before doing my touch up.

    Hope everyone has a great weekend!
