  7. Anything besides a lump of coal. Because coal isn't decadent. It's just depressing.

  1. Thank you Clint. I have a lot of brushes and this is my favorite handle by far. The shape fits my hand perfectly and looks great.

  9. Excellent photo Andrew! Tabac!!! Yes!! The JR134 sure is a nice brush...(but, aren't they all :)) !
  10. Thank you, Bruce! Yes indeed all of the JR brushes are fantastic!
  11. Good morning fellas!

    Today’s shave was brought to me by the following:
    Razor: Gillette Super Speed
    Soap: Jeeves of Hudson Street Bay Rum
    Brush: JR216
    Blade: Astra S/P

    Day two using the Jeeves Bay Rum that Adam @Drygulch sent (Thanks again Adam)! The lather was absolutely fantastic & slick. Maybe even better than yesterday. Three nice, fairly quick passes w/ some slight touch up and I was good to go! I could’ve hit the neck area between many chin and Adam’s apple a little bit more to get it super smooth...but, good enough. Normally, if I’m going to get weepers, that’s where they’ll be. For the last handful of days I haven’t been obsessing & over-trying to get nice, smooth shaves - yet I find that I am still getting great results. Actually, I think I’m getting BETTER results. Maybe it’s a case of “less is more”. Whatever it is, I’m happy with it, and hope it continues!

  14. Great photo and write-up, Bruce! I agree that "less is more" could be applied to many elements of our lives with good success, including shaving. That's a terrific philosophy.

  16. Thank you Andrew!

  18. Lovely photo, Steve! The knot in your Ever-Ready looks amazing for being original!
  19. Thank you Perry!! :)
  20. Thanks Clint! I'm pretty sure it's the last style they put out, and based on its condition, I'd say it was the very end of the run. For $5, I couldn't go wrong!
