  2. Nice, Dave! Thanks for taking the time!
    I'm a big time skin stretcher. Off hand and shave faces. Really upped the quality and consistency of my shaves.
    Cool brush scuttle!
    Looking good, Gary! Your getting the light box dialed in. Great pic!

  4. Thanks Jim. I do skin stretching in areas needed generally but most stretching for me is accomplished by ugly faces being made :cool:

  6. Joe the sausage ball is made to offer a popular southern breakfast sandwich in an easy bite or appetizer form. Many southern breakfasts include, biscuits, breakfast sausage and cheddar cheese. Several weeks back I made 10 batches of the things for my Mom to give away as gifts.

    T+S Classic Two~~Simpson Emperor 3~~Gillette #44/Sharp Star~~YSL Rive Gauche Pour Homme
    Hope everyone has enjoyed their holiday
    weekend. For us it was
    divided up into two days, with one son and daughter-in-law on Friday
    and the other daughter and fiancé yesterday.
    Today is recovery day before my 5:30am work start tomorrow.
    Tallow + Steel Classic Two which, according to the website, is a "take" on YSL Rive Gauche Pour Homme.
    I think you could safely say they share a similar DNA, but the soap is mos def© not a dupe.
    Nice, wet, slick 'n shiny lather was created by the E3.
    [​IMG]
    Below, you can really see how well-hydrated this lather is.
    Not even close to breaking, but it would surely pour off the brush.
    Naturally lather went a flyin' during application.

    While the Russian Sharp Star is a very good blade, long-life is probably not its strong suit.
    I could sense a tad o' tugging on the ATG neck pass, and indeed, it left my neck with a
    small patch of irritation and two weepets. Binned the blade.
    Now, it's also quite possible that the lather was TOO wet, thus not laying down a
    dense enough foundation twixt blade and epidermis. School for thought. :signs002:
    Finished with a largish splash of the YSL AS.
  10. Superb shave Barry

  11. Awesome shave. I will watch the video later this evening. I have one Lakewood soap, Prarie Song, which is fabulous. I have been wanting to pick up the Sweet Orange Hili Pepper for some time. Perhaps in the late Spring of 2021.
  12. Very nice shave Joe. Hope you have a nice relaxing day recovering from you dual Christmas events.
