  6. Beautiful colors, Jim! I admire a 4-pass routine. I'm mostly whittled down to one pass with a little touch-up these days.

  9. Thanks, Perry!
    My whiskers grow in every direction. If I were to do a one pass shave I'd have to do so much touch up I may as well do three passes. The hair in the hollows of my neck swirls so I don't even try for BBS there, that would be asking for trouble.

    It is a little warmer in Alabama today.

    Awesome shave with some solid performers. The little Frank Shaving brush is a sweet little brush and had no problems whipping up the Black Label. The Occam's Safety Razor with an Astra was a three pass treat this morning.....most excellent razor. A few squirts of Black Tie Gentleman a dupe of Tobacco Vanille by Tom Ford and I am ready.

    Eating ribs for lunch. A co-worker lost a little wager with me about the election so today is collection day. :eatdrink020: I may have to post a picture. :D

    The chess pieces are from a set I bought this summer. They are reproduced from a late 1800s set that was manufactured by B & Company. 4.3 inch kings. I know enough about chess to get myself in trouble but it is a fun game. I need to build a nice board but I have not had time.

    Take care today!

  12. It's not tobacco Tuesday.

    Perhaps we need a Thorium Thursday. If you don't have any Thorium, any toxic isotope is acceptable such as Brut or Clubman.

    I won't be participating because I like having my wife around, but I'll support anyone as long as I don't have to enter the contaminated area and can say, "Nice Shave!" from a distance.

    :D

  14. Great Katana shave, Barry! I like your well-balanced close, but we’ve never had any ladies here over the last two years or so that I’ve been hanging around. :)

  15. Great shaves, Matt! Hope you’re staying safe and healthy. Are you experiencing any Covid spikes in South Africa? :)

  18. Thanks Charlie, we got it handled and will finish a few things up Saturday. Apparently they did not trust you with heavy equipment. :D

  20. Great shave, Jim! I'm glad you’re enjoying your Tradere, but I don’t find it to be anything other than an average shaver, but I don’t add any additional passes. Of course, I only use it for dome shaves, but I get closer smoother more efficient two pass (ATG, ATG) shaves with my Colonial Silversmith or any of my preferred vintage Gillette New models or my Shake Sharps. I shaved with the Colonial Silversmith this morning. Skin stretching has been my secret weapon over beard growth. I do understand the whole YMMV adage, but you and I clearly have different shaving styles and criteria, but the subjective experience is what makes this hobby of ours so interesting. Enjoy your day and your shaves! :)
