  2. Lovely looking set up, Joseph! The HA just seems so classy, and you can't argue when the lather looks like that :)

  3. Thanks, Jim! BTW, "You make bleeding fun" just made my quote-of-the-day :rofl:

  4. Gorgeous looking set up, Jim. I've heard great things about both razor and soap. Seems the results back up the talk. Enjoy your Friday, sir! :D

  5. Thanks, Clint! That was my original thinking (I got terrible shaves with my MMOC, and just a 2 week focus turned it around entirely), but with a 3-4 month shavette focus coming my way, and the pseudo-spring weather we've been enjoying the last week or so, I've got the itch to start cleaning house. I don't know if the Variant is going to survive my impulsive nature. ;)

  6. The big argument in one area was which is worse, the commercial chicken coops or the paper mill.

    Funny thing is that the stacks are high enough that you don't smell it inside the mill.

  7. Don't seem right, somehow. Least they could do is suffer too ;)

  8. Thank you, Clint! It is an interesting scent to me. It lists cannabis as part of the scent profile, and perhaps I can detect something underneath all of this. I admit that I am not up on how cannabis smells, but I get this lemony, Sandalwood type of scent that has a bit of depth to it.

  13. That's quite the haul, Neal! Great shave too!
    It is the tallow version, but this soap a few years old so it doesnt have the lanolin and shea butter.
    Very nice, Gary!
    Can you stop taking such great pic's Jim? You're making the rest of us look bad!
    That is a beautiful shot Clint! Has the top of that Rex been polished?
    Fantastic shave, Jeff!
    Hope the little ones feel better and you manage to avoid the plague, Terry.
    Awesome shave Joe!! Mmm, Satsuma!
    Is it beer:30 yet, Jason? excellent shave!
    Thats too bad, Tim. The Variant is a nice looking razor.
    Great shave;), Doug!
    Fantastic shave and great lather, Joseph!
    Awesome shave Jim! I kinda wish that the SS Lupo came in a non-DLC polished variety, I think it would look really great then!

  14. I have the whole Gem line here also Dale . The Bullet tip is a beauty to look at but is a mild shaver . I prefer a new blade in it to get better results. The feel of holding it in your hand is great and its appealing to the eye. The catchy eye on the top cap is a gimmick but thats marketing for you.

    That dog looks pretty dapper. The hat is perfect too. He just needs a watch ! @wristwatchb

    Great report Joe! Hope you're enjoying the time off !

    Nice gear Tom! Is the Booster moss as good as everyone says it is ? I have some of the Polar and its real real nice .
    Thats a great setup Jason and love the background. Really make the pic pop!

    Look out aisle 12 ! Great shave Paul !

    Wonderful memories Bill. Still see the odd phonebox around here . Last time I used one it cost 35 cents to make a call. That was eons ago.
    Adams apple is the Achilles heel of shaving for me . Circular growth pattern. Skin stretching helps immensely with light pressure. Hope your next shave is a success Tim!

    If it ain't broke....dont fix it . I'd be tempted to stick to that lineup. It looks good in the snow too! Only 3 more months till the grass starts to grow Doug. Only 3 more months .....ugh !

    Excellent results and lineup Joseph!
