    Canadian NEW LC
    APShaveCo Mixed/Resin&Sapele
    Castle Forbes Lime
    Thayers
    Dior Eau Sauvage AS
    IMG_5355.jpg An easy, great shave early this morning. Some faves came out today for sure. The NEW LC is in my absolute top tier of vintage razors and this software combo is excellent. This soap came as a trade from Keith, and yes it is pricey, but I think the Lime version is just a wonderful product- fantastic slickness and just a wonderful straight up Lime scent. The Eau Sauvage is a great pairing for it. While I like the handle of this brush :))), the knot is just ok. I keep waiting for it to soften up, but I'm not sure it will any more. Oh well.
    Have a great day all!

    :signs001: Andrew!

    Sincerely appreciated Jim!

    Thank You Clint!

    Thanks Gary.

    Funny story about that anvil. Purchased a bit back as a prop (photographers love props). Etsy ad looked really nice, and it's great to photograph. However, the images and size description didn't look NEARLY as big as it turned out....and then I purchased another (different vendor and maker, hammered black finish)....and those images and dimensions I thought 'perfect!'....and it's a freaking keychain size. :angry032:

    :thanks: Joe!

    Ran out of time yesterday to thank @everyone for the kind thoughts and comments....So, THANKS for those too!

    Actually I have this in white, and like it, but if I could find something lower but wider, even better.

    Very cool Jason! Love the CF Lime SC, it's aroma bursts from the container, and performance as you mention. Recently picked up via BST the matching ASB lotion....need to give it a spin soon. Awesome image, great green bleed.

    Good afternoon guys!

    Shavette Shave #195
    Dovo Shavette
    Personna Hairshaper Blade (1)
    Omega Pro 49 Boar Brush
    Stirling Satsuma SS and AS

    This will be a quick post. Great brush and soap gave the expected stellar lather. 2 passes near BBS, but got a weep under nose, under chin and cheek. I landed wrong and this is a new blade and its notoriously sharp. Splashed with the matching aftershave to finish. Have a great afternoon guys! 20200819_165430.jpg

    Ok. The way you originally wrote it sounded like it was next month and I knew that it cannot be because you didn't graduate HS.

    I found something exactly like what I'm looking for in a brand in a brand called Zenith https://www.thegentleshave.com/prod...handle-boar-brush-by-zenith-made-in-italy-b27.
    They even called it the Chubby Scrubby LO which is pretty close to my own words as stubby and scrubby LOL.
