    Thanks, Blair! It used to be bright brass. I did a forced patina on it not too long ago. Afterwards, I hit it lightly in spots with a very fine grit sanding sponge to bring out some highlights.

    Boy Jeff you are just full of interesting nuggets. It was tough today for him and his team. First official tournament since November. COVID shutdown has impacted skill development and the conditioning. The team worked hard despite losing all three games.

    Cool. I have been familiar with the Princeton area for over 40 years as my Aunt lived there until three years ago. Such a beautiful town.

    Excellent shave Clint. Would you say the Fine L’Orange Noir would pair well with Stirling’s Arkadia or Declaration Grooming’s Trismegistus? Enjoy the day with your family.

    AUch! I hate encountering the blind spot. You just never know when “jaws” might decide to take a bite. Awesome shave gear and presentation Joe.

    Thank you Bruce. Currently, on a few occasions, I will have him whip up the lather in the bowl.

    Thanks, Jeff. Not a huge fan of their soaps, but they got the aftershave thing going on.

    I should clarify. I taught at Westminster Choir College, which is now a part of Rider University, so I was directly in Princeton. I commuted from another beautiful town, New Hope, PA.

    Thank you, Joseph! One of these days, I need to get the Tabac aftershave. I think someone mentioned in last month’s thread the scent is slightly different. More tobacco and less floral.
