    The tattoo pool would be hard to pick. It wouldn't surprise if someone got one on the way to the meet, just by reading your post.

    I don't know, Bruce. I have a thing for American made stainless razors. I might wait to see if he releases a polished version.

    He was definitely one of my leading picks for a pool.

    Now, if he got a BOPS logo tat, would that get a bonus?

    NCoxSTL AAACK!

    Definitely worth extra points, but only if it's the entire official BOPS logo.

    Ivan and the boys wanted me to let everyone know that if you decide to make a last minute trip in this weekend and can't get hotel reservations - there are a couple of nice AirBNB availabilities in East St. Louis. The guys oversee these and live just down the street so there's free vodka, onions and pickles available for guests. Caviar (well, it's eggs from Mississippi River Carp) is extra. Don't wait! These will fill up fast!

    I'm glad the boys got the scooters up and running in time for the escort. With the price of gas they've been using cheap vodka for fuel and it's hell on the bearings.

    I attempted to do a multi quote in Tapatalk and failed. Excellent photos and shaves everyone! I've had a busy day around the house with errands and a prenatal doctor's appointment. To everyone going to the Meetup I hope you all have a great time and I wish I could be there!

    Fine Accoutrements Platinum

    This morning I decided to use the Pre-War tech and compare it to the Flat Bottom tech that I used the past couple of shaves. The Flat Bottom definitely has more blade feel and is a little more efficient. The Pre-War tech was a bit smoother though. End the end after three passes the results were indistinguishable, both ending in BBS! Have a great weekend my friends!

    TGIF!
