Breaking the 5th amendment is when you get that 6th soap, right?

Thank you

Really?!?!?! I am 600 posts behind and no time to catch up:

Sunday: A scary looking Robert William Purist as long as I am careful about the pointy bits on the heel and tip it delivers a great shave.



Monday is safety razor day, 2011 R41 with a Silver Blue blade. I put a fat, heavy brass handle on her today. As always delivers a very close shave.

Thanks guys. I appreciate the kind words.

We're already four days into the month, and the thread was lacking intrigue other than a cursory discussion of cross-border cheese smuggling. This was my humble contribution.

Comrade @NCoxSTL said you made nice shaving bowls. I had no idea what he was talking about.

Rick, I planned to attend the Sam Sung School of Photography with you (on the 2-for-1 Senior Discount Program), but I couldn't get in the building! Can someone please tell me why they locked the front door on the first day of school?

Thank you Joe.

Scary indeed.... but I like it!

Shave #2 with the Wagner. Dont know why i wait for 3 days growth to use this but maybe i like the challenge.
Feeling a bit raw in places but smooth as the countertop. Thats with only 2 passes .
Stropped 10 on canvas( formerly work pants) then 30 or so on leather(old belt).....nice and slow. Came out pretty damn sharp if you ask me . Here's to progress! Cheers !

congrats on shave #2.stropping the old school way..very cool Patrick..soldier on..

Thank you Gary.

The Oriental SPICE I would describe as citrus with a nice touch of spice . It grew on me. My favorite is still the Mosswood.

You too, Patrick.

Good to be back, Gary. Belated

Awesome shave, Patrick! That is a beautiful French point razor. You don't see that many Fr. points.

Thank you Joseph.

Thank you Joe. It was given to me by Bill @Edison Carter .

I used to wear a thin jacket more or less all winter, till it got 10F and below. Now, I put on my wool under shirts on when I get the first hard frost. When it gets below 10F, I'm fully wooly, wool hat, shirt, gloves, under everything. Since the blood thinners, man oh man.
The bugs disappear after a good frost, I'm ok with that.

Good morning!

Awesome shave to start the day! Three passes for near BBS. Silent alum. Couldn't ask for better.

Have a great day!

Good Monday morning to everyone!
Hope your day is great!
Gotta get people up and going so...
Had a great shave this morning!
The blade more or less was usable throughout 2 passes head and face with a witch hazel clean up.
I could use these blades all the time, nice.



Well, the site wouldn't load a picture so I'll edit it in later when time allows.
All
Enjoy!

Yes, I remember that he piffed it to you.

Great start to the work week, Jim!

It is all good, Terry! Have a nice day!
