Glad to hear your feeling better, it sounds scary.

E too.

Charlie, the accomplishment was impressive, the maintenance even more impressive. Well done!

It looks like you are finding your zen for honing, soon you will be getting the epic shaves with a straight.

Excellent post, I recommend starting a threat with this post in the straight razor section so it is easy for new recruits to the Dark Side to find.

 

Great shave Charlie.
Great going on your calories.
I take it you waved off the cookie truck when it went by your house.

All great stuff.
Nice

Thanks, Danny.

 

Thanks, Terry. After 5+ years, nothing remains in my den but the finest.

 

Thank you for affirming me, Keith! I would definitely be obliged if one of the administrators would be able to do it so that I may add more things that I wanted to say. It would also be good for more experience straight razor shavers like yourself and others to share their knowledge as well.

 

Happy Birthday Jason!

If you are a patchouli fan then you have to try Dior Patchouli Imperial, mos def the best patchouli I have ever tried.

Radio Flyer sure have changed since I was a wee one.

I’m sure they assumed you were on a mission and didn’t want to blow your cover.

I double second that motion.

I think you hit your monthly target with me, the Ball watch, several watch bands and a servicing and polish for my Jaeger-Lecoultre. I think you made your quota for the quarter.

 

I eat losta popcorn, I find that constipation is my enemy.
Then there is the dreaded stomach flu that goes around every once in a while.
Hate that!
Things can go from bad to worse to OMG!
Then add wheat sensitivity.
Take care Clint!
Been there done that...
What am I saying... I am there.
Hope your doing fine!

Not surprising Andrew. He did he best work decades ago. You might recognize him later in life.
He's the tough guy in this clip. The saddlebag with eyes.

 

Great shave Jason
The big 5-0

You got it, my friend:
In a shaker:
2 oz Crown Royal Northern Harvest Rye (or your favorite Rye)
1 1/2 oz Carpano Vermouth (this is non-negotiable)
2 shakes bitters (your preferred)
1/2 t Luxardo Maraschino Cherry Juice

Now add your ice
Shake vigorously for 30 sec.

Pour into a large Martini glass
Garnish wit two Luxardo Cherries.

Enjoy.

 

Thanks Danny

I put that on a doc so I wouldn't loose it.

Great shave, David. It actually says: "seductive fragrance", but who's counting?

 

Kids and fairs, a great combo.
Kids love the fairs.
We have a membership to the closest zoo.
97 miles away, but the kids love the zoo.
That's just fun!

You are very welcome, Terry. Hopefully, you will add to it.

 

Thanks, Keith. One advantage the Japanese honing technique has, is that you don't have to lift the blade.

 

Everything looks great Keith, but that blade looks just killer.
Nice
