    Beautiful razor and I am told by the guys lurking in the shadows that nine it where it is at. If nine is still not enough they can make a few tweeks and go a lot higher.

    Sounds like my projects. Always takes longer and cost more than I thought.

    If you're looking for ideas, an LE shave cabinet would be nice. :) A gent on another forum sent me some detailed photos of his beautiful cabinet. I was hoping for something like it in the new house, but it never got past the concept review with my Bride. I'm getting a small medicine cabinet, and I have been instructed that I will like it very much.

    Thanks, Charlie.
    The car has been upgraded with disc brakes up front, not offered in '66 but optional in '67. Radial tires are the only other concession to modern times. Other than that the car is rolling the way it was born.
    That would be awesome to have your moms Camaro. A cool car with family history.

    Shux indeed Charlie..although the business mgr. was in the building yesterday, I suppose just to supervise the determining of the problem. I suppose that made for the announcement that it should be all set sometime Monday-otherwise it might have lingered to Tuesday or Wednesday. Anyway-I'll have to prepare for another lukewarm shower and lukewarm shave tomorrow.

    I wonder if you should fill a couple of containers with drinking water tonight, Paul? Sometimes a potable water system needs to be flushed and sanitized when it is opened up for maintenance. It hopefully won't affect you, but if you have the containers it wouldn't be a big deal. I hope you have hot water by tomorrow night. :)

    Don't have any containers but I do have a good amount of refrigerated bottled water. Actually, due to your suggestion, I might stop by Piggly Donelan's(Donelan's Wiggly?)to get another gallon tomorrow as the work is being done. The note from the mgr. didn't say anything about the water being shut off tomorrow(we usually get that warning due to a "water problem in the bldg."), thus I guess it's just the boiler replacement. Thanks for your thoughts on it.

    Everyone is making great progress, you are still early on the learning curve. I quick found that my wrist was not doble jointed and to get the necessary angles I would need to use both hands. To build the muscle memory and experiment with different grips I would practive with a shavette that was NOT loaded with a blade.

    If only we had a Piggly Wiggly here.....

    Thank you, Doug! These brushes are definitely great values. I like Synthetics as they are so easy to use, but it definitely seems to me the lather is just a bit better with a good badger.
