  1. I know I can't stand a shedder either. Have you decided what's going into it?

  2. Congrats Brian. It's unbelievable that you buttered your toast XTG this morning, but I'm sure you can attribute success to your solid SR technique.

    So I guess the extra cleanup crew at The Hampton Inn got to go home early!

    I gave myself a tiny little slice today. Pretty much stopped bleeding with a little cold water, and I was able to scrub away any sign of it a little after the shave, but I swear to God I don't know what I was thinking. I had set the razor in place, and was just starting an ATG cleanup stroke, (so a little pressure) and I started to turn my head. I have no idea why. I felt it right away and stopped, but it could have been a bad one. It is probably for the best that I didn't play with carriage bolts and Feathers today. Otherwise, a nice DFS all the way around.
  4. Thanks. I didn't even get any of their towels bloody

  5. Andrew, your son is awesome! I think he'd look good with a full face lather, although Mom may not approve. :)
  6. Thanks so much Jim.
  7. I have the old knot out and I'm just bringing up TGN as I type.
  8. I'm so sorry, Adam. I'm praying for you and your family.
  9. Thank you, Charlie. The brush has worked out well.

  10. Thank you. I am using the phone for pics this week. I like the ones with the DSLR better but the phone is much easier. ;)
  11. The brush handle looks great. With a better knot you'll have a great brush. Another great winter photo. How long does winter hang around for you?

  12. I hope Neal didn't hit the coffee pot too much today. You know how that makes him jittery. He really needs to focus on the nuts and bolts of tonight's shave.

    Pass the popcorn.

  14. Thanks very much Clint. Sometimes Winter seems like it lasts forever. :)
  15. Are you doing any sort of enhancing or filtering? You have just had some very vivid shots this week.
  16. I am about to go there too, in a few minutes. I also have a shedder.
  17. I need a 22mm, want a silvertip. Shavemac, is $64 plus shipping, Envy is 40 shipped, and TGN is 30 plus shipping. I am really kind of stuck.

    You liked that Grade A TGN, right?
  18. Thank you, Charlie. @mrchick made it a bit further than I did! I have to admit, it is a. It more intimidating holding that blade up to my face than I had anticipated.
  19. Thank you, Jared. I am not sure I will do it again. :)
  20. Prayers sent for your mother's peace and for strength and serenity for you and your surviving family and friends. The death of a parent at any age is hard; take your own time to grieve her properly.
