  8. Because it very well may be.
    We need to get together so I could give you this bottle. I would mail it but it needs to by kept upright. I'm surprised it didn't all leak out during shipping when I got it.

  9. Doing the 100+ post catch up.
    It does Gary. The markings on my base plate do match the 15mm variation. My caliper isn't digital so I may have misread it. I saw Clint's @clint64 comments in that revived thread - do you still have and use your NEW Deluxe?
    Glad it shaves well for you Danny! They are beautifully engineered and something about holding a golden razor elevates the experience.

    EDRIO #80 Schick Injector N1
    Schick blade
    Jayaruh #352 (30mm, Cruiser Class)
    MWF
    Aqua Velva Ice Sport (Avon Bishop Decanter)

    Much much better shave today with a brand new Schick blade. I also pulled out The Fat for Fat Friday. Three passes and a bit of touch-up got me IBBS. Finished with AV Ice blue to make it a Just the basics June shave. Have a great weekend my friends!

    TGIF!

  12. Thanks Joe! He had a blast playing in the dirt. I mean, planting the garden.

    IMG_2281.jpg Another early morning shave, late afternoon post. I just haven't been a very consistent 30DC comrade the past while. Life is like that sometimes. Anyway, had another super shave with the Tech this morning. Today could have been a favourites focus shave as well- love the Baker Street scent, both in the Strop Shoppe unobtanium original (thanks again, Perry @PLAla ) and Stirling iterations. This brush has become a fave as well (I guess I say that about most brushes I own). Great lather, pretty good results, great scent and face feel. TGIF.
    I think I'll move on to another 'basic' razor- one of my humble Injectors for this next week.

    Have a great weekend all!
  15. And being from Alabama that means...? Kidding, but you know us Southerners have a rep for keeping it in the family.
    I've found deconstruction rather than destruction early on makes for less work later. Sometimes getting a bigger hammer is not the answer.

    Logan looks great with his hands in the dirt...kids don't seem to get that enough these days.

  17. Yup, you wouldn't want the 3rd option... Congrats on 13,000 Brian! Keep 'em coming. I passed 5000 a little while ago without really realizing it.
