    Blade: GEM stainless
    Razor: GEM Pushbutton
    Brush: Artisan badger
    Lather: Route 66 Rum Runner
    Post: Witch hazel, Barbasol Pacific Rush aftershave
    WTG, XTG

    Nice shave with Route 66 Rum Runner. Went with the Barbasol Pacific Rush after shave. I didn't have another scent that matched the Rum Runner too well. But I guess we can use whatever aftershaves we like and it doesn't have to match or complement....it's your shave, enjoy it your way!

    Nice results in the end. Did two full passes but still didn't get the point of my chin as clean as I'd like. Oh well. There's always the next shave.

  4. Great picture, Perry! It seems like the Pacific Rush is the same AS I reach for when unsure of what to match to a soap.
  5. Thanks, Jim! You're right about the Barbasol. I have a good many matching soaps and splashes now but pull the Pacific Rush a lot when in doubt. I wish I could hunt down a bottle of Brisk but can't find it in my area.
  6. Razor: Timeless Titanium OC Scalloped 0.95
    Blade: Astra Platinum (7)
    Brush: H.L. Thater Funf TSN LE Butterscotch Beehive 5th Anniversary 2 Band
    Soap: Oleo Pucker
    A/S: Myrsol Aqua de Limon

    Another great near BBS shave with these tools.

    Amazing day in Sterling Scotland at the Cowal Highland Gathering Highland Dance Championships for our grand daughter. She got first in her age category and first in the Premier Division.

  10. Congrats to your grand daughter.

    I didn't realize you had the titanium razor. For some reason I thought it was just the handle. Congrats on a great razor.

  11. Thank you for joining in. Another beautiful family.
  12. I only used the handle when I first got the razor as I was using the Timeless SB that week. That would be why you thought that Clint. I really like the Timeless Ti.

  13. Congratulations! Do you have a link to a video of her performance? I love that style of dance.
  14. I like the fact that the Ti is readily available without a huge surcharge over the stainless steel.

    A link to video would be very cool.
  15. Uhhmmm, Holy Crap!
  16. No video link. We just got a text message from our daughter with the photo.
    This is a 2 week competition so there is a way to go yet. Thanks for you kind words Brian. I'll keep you posted.

  17. I picked up one for $1.79 last week at Family Dollar.
  18. Okay, I know we were maybe done, but I just got some proofs of my kids senior pics. I am lucky enough to have a really good friend who is a professional photographer who does these. I know they took several hundred pics on her first shoot. Here are a couple he sent for a tease:

  20. Thanks, Buddy. Smart as she is, I spend most every second of my life worrying about her.
