  2. Thanks, Joe! The nice thing about this new knot is that when I tire of it, I can simply unscrew it and replace it with a 26mm Boar, a 24mm Synthetic or a 24mm hybrid Badger/Boar. I don’t have any horsehair brushes. Had a very unpleasant olfactory experience with one a few yrs ago! They really stink when new. Gave it to my son who spent over a week taming it!

  3. I had the gray hair going for me but the sporty car didn't help the cause. I was due for 1 sooner or later. Even my wife said everyone goes 60 mph on that stretch of road.

    I decided to sleep in and have a relaxing morning before going to work. I put it off as long as I could but I had to shower, shave and get moving. The little Duke 3 is just the right size brush for WSP tubs. The D3 did a wonderful job loading and lathering the Ol' Kentucky. Three passes and touch ups caught the baby with ease. A splash of Small Batch Shave Tonic I am off to work. I will be driving slower this morning. ;) I hope everyone has a great Saturday.

  5. That's a shame about that Feather blade and rough shave James. I have never used Feather blades, but your the first shaver that had a bad one from the start. Frankly, I am surprised, but sometimes you get a bad blade in a tuck or a box of blades. It happens.

  6. I’m going to do my best to learn this Broman razor if it ever arrives, Clint. I definitely took a bag on the OneBlade and the Leaf. Hopefully, this one will work out without mutilating me! Pivoting razors don’t seem to be my thing!

  9. Unfortunately, it didn't hold true for me when I was issued a ticket this past December. These shaving products have made me look younger so I do not get the old man warning treatment. Lol!

  12. Wow, that's a wait! Have you contacted the seller?
    It sure is. My favorite is a first use Feather. Second use is ok, third use is iffy.

  14. It sometime pays to be an old fart! I don’t get pulled over much, but the last time I was, I have found that a “how are you doing there, young feller!” Has worked well for me. Can’t remember the last time I received a ticket. I always drive the TR6 very carefully, so never had a problem in that vehicle.

  16. Yes, I’ve emailed them twice! Their patented response is that everything is taking much longer from the UK to the USA. They keep asking for my patience. If I don’t receive it by the end of this month, I’ll be asking for my money back!
