    Wonderful shave, Jim! The new Tradere looks terrific!
    When I read your Gear listing before the picture, and I see DG, my mind first thinks “Dollar General” instead of Declaration Grooming.

    Well, to be accurate, I have ridded my den of the following:
    4 soaps
    4 aftershaves
    1 brush
    and, I am still trying to sell a Burley Gift set.

    I am deciding which of the razors leave my den now. With the last two coming in, things have gotten out of hand for me.

    When I first got into this hobby, I acquired a very large vintage Gillette collection. Far too many razors, so I ended up selling 99% of them. No regrets.
    I have too many straight razors now, could probably thin that herd as well.
    Soaps are difficult to sell, unless they are unicorns or new. You basically are just piffing them.
    I'll wait until the next TSD auction and make a big     donation.

    I was mistaken on the Tradere. It's not in the Atlanta distribution facility but in the Memphis distribution facility. It looks like I will get to play with the Wolfman for a few more days. I know its a sacrifice but I am willing make it. ;) Pulled out the Doug Korn DK7 brush and A&E " The City " this morning. I haven't used the either recently. The DK7 is just a joy to use. The handle is so ergonomic and the knot has just the right amount of scrub with excellent backbone and flow through. The City is an unusual scent. It has the sandalwood scent but it is the base note for a sweet scent I can't place. I like the scent but don't love it. However the soap works great just like all A&E soaps. Three passes and touch ups ended in a drama free BBS shave. I can get away with adding a little pressure while buffing my lower right neck which gets that trouble area supper smooth. A splash of Fine Santal and I am ready for the day. Happy Humpday everyone.

    I periodically go through a purge on razors primarily. I have 4 or 5 in mind to sell. Like you soaps are to difficult to sell in general. I usually PIF those as well.

    Very nice Clint! your lucky! Usually I have to be very careful when adding pressure. 90% of the time I'll get cut to some degree.

    Thank you Myles. I have almost leather like skin which helps. I just wanted to see how easy it would be to get a cut with this razor. I think I would really have to screw up pretty badly.

    Thank you Jim. The reviews of the Tradere have me excited to receive mine.
