Lovely photo, Jim, and an awesome report. Honestly, that you made it as long as you did with Astra Planeta when you had Glacial Black Cherry waiting in the bullpen is a bit of a miracle. I think you made the right call, sir!
That's what all the people with great yards say--that attitude is probably what makes the yards great
Fantastic photo, and awesome brush, Clint--those Heritage Collection brushes are gorgeous, and the gelled knots sound amazing.
June Focus Jabonman~~Simpson~~National~~Alt Innsbruck Yet again I am lathering the Jabonman. It's still great, but as I reach the end, chunks of soap are clinging to the brush. No, not granules, but I am face-lathering "chunky-soup". The National Straight delivered a close, comfy, three-pass shave. There was a small "gotcha-moment" as the point of the razor reminded me, that it's been too long since navigating the Dark Side. People who haven't tried Alt Innsbruck are really missing out. Nothing but Virginia Tobacco and Menthol. Great juice.
If I ever attempted to shave my Rex Adjustable fully open, I’d probably end up removing some serious epidermis layers!
Wow, Paul! Any shave requiring Neosporin and a bandage is a pretty beefy cut. Sorry to hear that, but I am super glad to hear that the BoS is working out for you in the summertime weather.
Thanks Tim...it was an embarrassing miss on the first pass...turned into an embarrassing cut on the second.
