    I wouldn't have gone in solely based on the name of this "Fine" establishment.

    Nice, simple combo, Patrick. You are a true Maritimer with that Keith's towel in the background as well...
    Glad to hear that travel ordeal is over, Keith. Loved your travel set up, but I can definitely see how you'd like to get back to one of your familiar straights as well.
    Great combo again, Jim. Always love that redone Ever Ready!
    Super pic again! It may be quicker, Jim, to list the CK6 soaps you DONT have...
    Wonderful combo, Clint, and there's that table again!
    Very nice, Danny. I don't have a birth year Tech, although they were obviously making them in '69. I do have a birth year SA, though.
    You came back with style, Blair! Wonderful looking combo.
    Hump Day! Great looking den, Charlie. Others may rival you for DE blades (Cough, cough, Neal, cough...), but you are at the top of the food chain for Feather Pros, I would think!

    Thank you for the kind words gentlemen! Going to take a few days of shaving with it to 'tame the beast' :D. It isn't anything near the blade width of Keithmax's smiling (or other) razors, it's just the largest straight for me to use yet.

    Just for better clarity....it was our 10 year old Jack Russell Terrier 'Milo' that had an acute bout of pancreatitis (Monday). He's back about 99% now, prescriptions for ~week, new low fat/low sugar diet (no kibble/starch/grains). Sort of weird how he got there....he is not remotely overweight, never has been...exactly the opposite. He's always been like a Type 1 diabetic...never gains weight. His aging crossed him into being susceptible to the condition. His twin sister, nada (yet, fingers crossed).

    Thanks Joe. I'm really liking the ABCo straight so far.

    Art of Shaving Sandalwood~~Simpson 59~~dubl duck
    Results of the refreshing on the Shapton 16K Glass stone...
    Moderate improvement. Moderate.
    Maybe I have set the bar too high?
    :signs002::signs002::signs002::signs002::signs002:
    Everything else was very nice. The AoS Sandalwood products performed well.
    The Simpson 59, no complaints.
    That's all I've got today. Must rethink this honing thing.    ​

    Thanks, Jason!
    I have a few CK6 soaps. I got an email about another today that's supposed to smell like a spent firework. Niche market for that one I'm assuming.

    Hope it all works out great and I know the kiddo will be blessed to spend time with y'all.

    Love the storage but Paul @Paul Turner and I will need some storage for our gear when we come to the family reunion. I cannot wait to get the family reunion tee shirt.

    If there TTO's are non-adjustable I'd say $10 each, adjustable $20. An OS mug is probably worth $10 so that combo might be a decent deal.

    RyX DoH!

    My ever practical daughter raised chickens couple years ago. As she added to her flock, each got a unique name. There was Gumbo, Stir Fry, Lemon Pepper, etc. I know she enjoyed fresh yard eggs for their richer flavor. Have to ask if she ever ate the birds.
