  5. Good idea, Bill. It appears that @jgreenepa has thin skin, requiring frequent application of copious amounts of lanolin. Rumor has it that he slathers it on with freshly sheared woolen sheep fleece. My staff of one is currently discussing whether we should let up on Jeff in the next 120 days. It's doubtful at this point.
    Wise move, Bill. Protect your health, and enjoy using your new hone. I hope all is well, my friend. :)

  10. Fantastic shave Andrew! I can't understand why companies change a winning formula. I understand they try to get cheaper ingredients to keep the price the same, but is it worth the customer dissatisfaction by increasing your bottom line. My advice is to keep the original formula and increase your price by 15% and keep your patrons happy.

  11. Awesome shave Gary.
  12. Thanks Gary. Proraso checks all the boxes for me. It is such a classic product.
  13. I'm not in the real estate market, but I could be convinced to cough up a grand for that OLD TR6.

    That would make sure there was no wallet buldge to throw out my back on joy rides.
  14. Super shave Joe! I have a soft spot for barber notched straights!

  15. Very nice shave Jeff! I call those bashful weepers because they go below the surface to hide when they are discovered. Lol!

  17. Oh Jeff, what's gone into you! Tsk! Tsk!
  18. i agree.i know i have mentioned it a lot ,but i love that it's an old school dedicated shave company ,not a mens line for a cosmetics corp..maybe i should try to find vintage jars/containers for my 50s shave..
  19. Great Monobilt shave, Jason! I used Old Spice Lime myself today! Always a good choice! Enjoy your day!
