Thank you Amigo.

Glad the trip went well! Back when I was a youngster I used to ride a 750cc BSA Rocket 3. I remember my honeymoon in May of ‘71 with my wife on that bike. We rode from Philly to Quebec City. On the way back SWMBO #1 whispered in my ear that it was time to switch to 4 wheeled transport! Ah well, all in all it was worth it!!

Awesome shave Clint! The DD HC boar brush looks real nice.

Thank you Jim.

Good solid shave, Paul!

I've often observed lower cost sharpening methods snubbed. They shouldn't be.

Beautiful picture, Clint!
I haven't given up on my gelled Shoate boar yet. It has gotten better with each use.

Lookin’ forward To it, Bill!

I have used it a number of times and remarked on it in this thread. The soap is from a Ukrainian company named Elly's Wonder Shop. The soap has a mild floral scent, but I can't give you any specifics on the "flower" because it isn't listed in her ingredients.

Simpson Chubby 2 Synthetic - Royal Pearl
Rigarazor
Alum
Zingari Man after shave balm
Jimmy Choo - Man Intense EdT

Date Day! Rare weekend off day for me, wifey and I going out and about for the day.

Awesome bowl and face lathering from BAUME.BE and Simpson Chubby synthetic. Very little shaving cream needed to create a TON of yogurty good face feeling slickness (this cream needs only a bit of hydration). Touched up the Rigarazor last night on the pasted strops (14k/50k/100k/200k)....about 10 minutes time. Few strokes on Tony Miller's 'Notavan' strop after the shower this morning, and it was a very nice, smooth but insanely sharp shave. Unnoticed facial blemish......gone. One other weeper, neither a quick rub of the alum couldn't handle. BBS results in 2.5 passes. Quick application of ZM's unscented ASB, few squirts of a new EdT from wifey (for the anniversary last week).

Jimmy Choo's Man Intense - sublime fragrance. A contender for the top spot in my den. Lavender. Citrus. Awesome.

Lovely Lime shave to start the day! Three passes for near BBS. Warmer than usual alum in the hollows of my neck.

Have a great day!

Had to so a gold shave with my analyzed gold brush. For now at least it looks like I have figured out the anodizing issues. The old dyes would fade so I had to go DARK. These stayed the exacr color they were when I removed tbem from the dye. So If I do anything else in gold I won't leave it in the dye as long.

I really like my VAS. I get excellent results with it. 2 pass plus light touchup and I.have a BBS face. And with the stetson I smell like an 80's city cowboy. Awesome!


Totally staged lather shot with the new brush:

Beautiful, Blair!
Have a great Date Day!

Thankfully, I haven't lived there in over 30 years.

I recall as a young man in industrial sales regularly doing business in areas I dare not go today.

Young folks used to be able get manufacturing jobs walking distance from home. Almost unheard of today.

A former employer recently relocated to a low cost enterprise zone there. Long term employees are rapidly exiting. You couldn't get me back in that same job today.

So Bawldamrr remains a great place to be.............. FROM!

I live walking distance from thriving young Amish families now.

you have accomplished a lot with the basic honing requirements..speaks volumes..
