That is fantastic news, Charlie!
That Hammy ain't too bad, either...

You can add Agar (Oud) trees to that list. Real Oud Oil is $100/gram apparently.

The brush is a stunner, Gary, but I can't take my eyes off that OC 'Crat... awesome.

Thank you for the nice words, Gentlemen. I'm with you Blair, I liked the older cartoonish Stirling Labels- MITA, Electric Sheep, Ben Franklin, Barbershop etc.

Wow! That’s really up there.

You should buy the $58 soap then too...

Thanks guys.

Wednesday Shave: Today's TSD is another Jason special ( @jtspartan ) this one has a Thäter silver tip. An awesome brush by every measure. Still trying to wear out a puck of Fine Soap, this stuff is a very nice performer. A 7/8 Wacker Huntsman did the dirty work of moving down this whiskers. A couple shots of Creed Millesime Imperial and I am out the door.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you the finest Visual Aid in the 'Just the Basics - June' special category - Pimp Stocks Straights..... from TSD's very own emeritus chemistry educator extraordinaire.

Max Headroom has been reporting a rumbling in 'the Deep' and whispering of revoking the CT of 'Double Jedi' in favor of 'Triple Jedi'

Congratulations Joe on the acquisition of a Sweet Piece! May your 65th be blessed.

Just for the record, I am up for adoption.

Thank you Bill for the kind words! I really appreciate it. Later today, I will be using the Mighty Max for my second shave with it.

Terrific shave and the Huntsman is so classy Keith!

thank you Jason..

Just the Basics

Good morning!

Eventhough I struggled with dissipating lather I still had a wonderful shave to start the day! Three passes for near BBS. Just the lightest tickle from the alum.

Have a great day!

What a difference a day makes. I am feeling much better today. Sadly that means going to work. Everything worked well together today. Three passes with touch ups ended in a drama free BBS shave. I hope everyone has a great Wednesday.

Thank you, Clint!

Great shave and beautiful picture, Clint! So glad you're feeling better.

What setting on the Ambassador did you finally settle in at?
