    I would do without before using Clubman products.

    I hear you, Jim. As long as I 'stay in my own lane' for storage all is good. One hanging wall display for razors and brushes? Check. As much as I can stuff in my cupboard and drawer? Check. Extra wall displays or move stuff into more cupboards? Not kosher, and not worth drawing attention to the stash...

    Lemondrop! Awesome combo, Jim. 7 shaves is roughly what I like to get from a Feather Pro as well, fwiw.
    Good thinkin' Charlie. Help get rid of that paint and caulk smell from the bathroom quicker with some Clubman...
    Have a great Menthol Monday, Jim!
    Super pic, Clint. I've always liked the look of that Cobra. Looking at those two ice cubes on the soap tin, I think that soap could have been named after our own Adam and John and their Frozen Mojitos...
    I like the Stirling just the way it is as well, Joseph! What is also underappreciated about them is some of their awesome original scents. The dupes are classy too, but I love some of Rod's originals- Gentleman, G&T, etc.
    Love that brush, Mark. Is the '58 a retro redo, or a modern original?
    Nice colours, Blair! I hear you on your wife's preferences. My wife would be happy with me sticking to Old Spice on a lot of days, I think.

    Do not fall for the drumbeat of "One hand is a lighter touch"
    There is simply NO RULE that says you can't use two hands.
    I have news for the "One Hand Honing Snobs", there is no doubt in my mind at all whatsoever that I can do a lighter more perfect honing stroke using two hands then anyone can using one..
    It is all about pressure and torque nothing more, I use both techniques usually on the same hone as I progress on that hone
    As long as the edge keeps getting better you are doing just fine


    Hone On !!!!

    Thanks, Jason!
    The Lemondrop seemed the perfect fit for the Glacial Lemony Orange.

    Thank you Jason. I really enjoy using the Cobra as well. It did take me time to master the stylized handle.

    Thank you, Clint. Alas, 'sorting out' the electrical issue is me ordering a new Converter and paying a pro to install it...

    You’re better than I am. I’m pretty handy at many things but I’m lost with home electrical issues. Funny since I’m good working with the wiring on motorcycles.

    The “Bush Hog” brand is associated with rotary cutters and the act of cutting itself, having invented the brush mower over a half-century ago, and is often used as a generic term to describe a rotary cutter or the cutting of a field.
    https://www.bushhog.com/over-65-years-of-proven-performance

    Picture of our 8 foot dual spindle rotary cutter (Hardee Brand) in action behind our 302 John Deere. These are before and after pictures. We basically saved this cutter from becoming scrap iron. It does not look this good now but she can walk through a field of waist high grass in 4th gear behind the 302. The 302 is 50 horsepower...a strong 50 at that.

    Excellent shave Patrick! And a great way to remember your dad!
    Beautiful shot Jim, dang that a slim head profile on the vector!
    Congrats on the first shave in the be den, Charlie!
    Very cool shot, Jim!
    Excellent shave Dale!
    Beautiful shot Clint!
    Totally agree with you about Stirling products. I saw someone mention on the snobby form that Stirling was mediocre compared to some of the newer soaps out there and I though to myself that the poster probably isn't taking the time to properly hydrate the lather.
    Excellent shot Mark! What are these little creatures that have been gracing your photos lately?
    Great shave Blair! I do enjoy the scent of Cella to!
    Fantastic shot Jason, I'm sorry you had troubles at the RV.
