Thanks, gentlemen! I haven't gotten as far along in the process as "thinking" yet .

I expect I will try them out, see how they shave, and if any of them especially strike my fancy, I may either get them coated at Delta Echo or replated with something somewhere else. Then the rest will probably find their way onto the BST or more likely into PIFs or future TSD fund-raising raffles.

Thank you John. The Cade soap just came in a wrapper. My wife gave me a bowl and AOS soap several years ago. I really liked the bowl, so I searched on eBay and found one at a good price. I didn't realize that they were nearly identical until it arrived. I now have Cade in one and C&S Oxford and Cambridge in the other. When I finish the C&S, I will buy a puck of Saponifico Varesino to use in the bowl.

Nice razors John. You're good to go with this month's Focus.

Always happy to be of service, Comrade Randy. (A little cold-war talk so they don't lose track of the thread). And just to seal the deal - 나는 친애하는 지도자 김정은의 게이 애호가이다. Keith may get that one without translation help.

I'd advise eating light before you hit TSA. Enjoy!

Thanks, Joseph. Yes, with the modern Fatip Grande to provide a little extra "bite" to the selection, and the minty old Probak (apparently with a mismatched but nice Gillette New Improved Tuckaway handle) that shaves who knows how, I should have a good selection of choices for veerrrry careful shaves this month...

That's what I like about this place -- even the organized crime elements are friendly, helpful and always willing to be of service to their fellow Denizens...

very cool...

thank you for you kind words, all of you., gary

Thank you Jim.

Good grief, men. If you're going to continue this conversation, at least use the Cone of Silence.

I was too late to join in on the rest of the conversation. I did have my Google translation open to follow along. Randy - check with Paul if you need instruction for the anticipated procedure.

Thank you Clint. I'm going to continue with the fat badger until another brush demands their turn. I'm learning to use it and the skills ought to make my other badgers work better for me.

We also offer concrete shoes in a variety of sizes. We want all of our customers to enjoy courteous comfort!

Beautiful photo, Clint!

Thank you Perry.

I’ve killed four, and added 13, so my soap inventory is not going in the intended direction.

I'll go with my Gillette Aristocrat 1947 birth year razor to start along with my Oleo soaps. I think I have four of there soaps.

Except on NOVEMBER 11,2018. Marine Corps shave to show my respect for Veterans.

I'll work in some OC razors. My brush for this month will be a new SOC Mistura Taj that I want to break in. Keep posting your shaves along with your outstanding picture. It will for another great month.

Now you have done it, North Korea will hack our servers on release to the whole world the results of our enabling.

Years of over buying and then years in the rotation. I picked the soaps closest to the end. I will only admit to eating Cella, tasted pretty good too.

It is hard to admit but yes, ice cream trumps cookies.

What if the participation trophy is a new tub of soap? You are entered now. The recognition for hoarding more soap is either to point and laugh or send cookies. We haven’t decided yet.

let us know how that compares to cookies.
