SOS: October 2020

Thanks Matt.

 

Very kind Gary

 

Chris Columbus, the fella who did America in 1492, told me to keep my shave plan the same for his holiday as it was today. He did however tell me something I already do anyway-change my brush:

Brush-Jayaruh#59

 

Just had to get a shave in with my new el druida manchurian. The knot is probably my favorite of all my brushes after 1 shave.

Love the new Leviathan label, Matt. Is the formula unchanged?

Cool dark picture. Love that 100t

 

Thank you. It's the Excelsior base. I think it was Excelsior last year as well. Before that it would have been Glissant.

Thank you. The 100T was my grandfather's. He passed it down to my Dad, who passed it down to me.

Nice Matt. I think I'm going to pick this one up. I wanted to last year, but really hated the label change. I decided to wait for this year's release and hoped it would change again. I think this version is awesome. Great shot and gear bud.
