Your Swedish friend is a pain in the

 

Beautiful picture. Is that your schnoz I see

 

thank you Jim..

 

I ordered a new SS Hawk for much the same reason, Jeff. Well, that and I have a well-documented love of the look of OC razors.
Have you tried a heavier handle with yours?

 

Well-reported and nicely photographed, Jeff.

 

Great shot, Gary.

 

Great shave, Daniel.

 

Thank you, Jason!

Thanks, Gary!
Good morning..

Thank you, Joseph!
I don't see what you're seeing but if there's a schnoz in the picture it would be mine.

 

But that's sad to hear.....he used to provide fun and entertainment. May I ask what happened?

 

thank you Joseph..

Awesome Ambassador shave, Jim! You'll have to bust out this exact same line-up come the 4th of July--beautiful photo.

 

Wonderful photo and report, Jeff! The Hulk would have been a fantastic razor for St Paddy's day. Hopefully the SS version you have coming will give you some better shaves

 

Another beautiful ocean-blue shave, Gary--enjoy your Easter, sir!

 

Thanks, Tim! That’s the hope! Three fabulous AC razors would be nice!

 

Great shaves, Matt!

 

That's pretty cool, Terry! I was looking into polysorbate 20 back when I had the itch to create my own menthol additive. Later that same week, Stirling came out with Frost Drops, so... well, you know

 

And here we are at that day of the week again-here's your somewhat belated FRIDAY FILES:

-I've decided that my birthday(5-1, the event that kicks off MAYhem in here)will be my transfer date from fall&winter shaves to spring&summer shaves). I've never had to go out in my winter down coat for my birthday. I'll have to make a purchase or two this month-I hope the "Stay At Home" rule won't be a problem for artisan shave companies-maybe they have relative statements on their websites.

-The space for the old town bookstore here is still vacant, no buyers. I said it before but it deserves a repeat-how about an artisan shave company for it? After viewing the new Stoylin shop, I'd say there's ample space in the old bookstore for it.

-Glad to see many posts and much interest in Chiseled Face Groomatorium. There was a lot when I first joined, then apparently not much excitement. It's baaaaack.

Thanks, Maestro!

 

Awesome shave and report, Dan! I tried Astras when I first started, but didn't like them. Experience has taught me that none of the blades I tried when I first started got a fair shake. I've got a couple Astras that I'll have to try out sometime. I'm betting they will work a lot better now
