I have to go get the mail. Then I will sit down and have a cold beer and comm with some veterans I severed with. The thank you for your kind words amigo.

Enjoy your day at home, Andrew!

Out of curiosity, what % of time are you bowl lathering now, Rick?

...and more great pictures, Gentlemen!

Thank you, Jason!

Great Friday photo. Logan is certainly growing up and looks cuter by the week.

Thank you Andrew. I hope you had a great day with Logan.

From Private to Commandant. Lead from the front.

Sounds like a great way to celebrate.

Thanks very much Charlie. Only wish I could do it again. I'd have to be young though.

The Ming Shi is really a great looking razor. I like the futuristic lines of the Merkur design.

Thank you, Clint!

Doug, this is one of my favorite quotes.

That's what caught my eye at first. Turns out it shaves great, too! There's a PAL adjustable that is future forward looking that might pick up one day.

Jason, 9 out of 10 or more lathers happen in a bowl. Gives me control over the result better than face lathering.

Thanks. I ask because I find myself bowl lathering more and more. I like the lather on the 3rd pass better from a bowl.

One of my favorites also Charlie. Thanks for the post.

It adds a step to the shave process, but I do get more consistent lathers. Like those button bumps in the bottom of your wooden bowl, I use a textured ceramic that helps introduce air into the soap & water. Won't argue with Face Lathering, to each his own.

Definitely.

+1. That’s where I bought mine also.

Yes, love your suribachi. Nice bowl.
Definitely won't argue with face lathering, I still do about 1/3 of my shaves without a bowl. I like a little variety in my routine.
