Super shave following a work out and prior to getting into Chef Giuseppe mode!
Brisket is in the smoker!

This smoke was extremely straight. I guess this brisket had a mind of it’s own. I placed on the smoker at 7:00 Friday evening and projected the finished time for around 1:00 PM Saturday afternoon. John Steinbeck moment, Best laid plans of Mice and Men.
Needless to say this thing did not come out of the smoker until 9:00 Saturday night. I know what I will be serving for dinner tonight.

Love this soap and splash. First shave with this straight. It did not disappoint, super close and comfortable.

Lovely shave with that gorgeous Gillette frankenrazor! Enjoy your day, Gary!

Good afternoon, Gary! Enjoy your day!

Great shave, Joe. Sounds like that Prismatic shaved well for you. I have one new in the box that was intended for a grandchild. I'll probably make it part of a trade for another vintage straight. Enjoy your late blooming brisket! Have a great Sunday, my friend!

thank you Jeff.this one isn't a frankenrazor,ligit set....happy sunday..

Yes, I'm testing how waxes work on durability of SV models.
Three models, ten days each.
AUgust.

Thanks.

Only one straight in the pic, Joe! The A. With Copperhead.

Wow, I was not aware that they use New Heads with Tech handles. I always learn something from every interaction with you, Gary! Thanks!

thank you Jeff, the only other model as far as i know.using up the last of the new rfb heads..

Terrific shave and photo, Jim! Makes me wish I had some Chiquita bananas in the kitchen right now...I'll have to add them to the grocery list now.
