Thanks Gary, might check them out!

Agree on the fantastic lather, but I just didn't get a similar scent experience to what you did. Both Screwtape and I had the Valobra Fougere, and the scent was weak at best. You got the best of the batch, it appears.

I said the same thing today! Mine's a 2013 clone as well, not the 2011 Weapon of Mass Destruction that you wield.

Moi is jealous...

And a beauty of a '66' it is, Gary. Awesome.

I have a coworker who's signature line on her emails since Covid is 'Normal is just a setting on a Washing Machine'. Yup.

once you travel from port to port..may be a necessity..

thank you Jason..very cool..what is normal?

..so true..like beer goggles..

Happy Birthday, Andrew! A fine looking shave as well. After our talk on here yesterday about the Haslinger, I ended up grating it into one of my wooden bowls. 'Smooshing' it flat as you did was the other acceptable option:

This is the same one as yours, yes?

very cool Jason.i have one of those miniscule Haslinger pucks..may mix it with something..

Thanks Blair! I just had to laugh on your comment on Feathers. It is a great blade, but you only get a few shaves from it and that is truly a shame.

Well, I am Primo, after all...

in the sights.. @wristwatchb

Seiko 5...great movement and classic styling, Gary!

thank you Charlie.i know its beginner grade, but it's what i need from a watch,no battery,simple and durable..still deciding between black or blue...

Just stating some facts. I wouldn't read anything else into it.

It's a fantastic watch, Gary, and you'll be wearing it for many years. Black dials are classy, but I'm a long-time fan of Seiko's Sapphire blue dials.


Can't decide? Get both!

blue is definitely the classic Seiko.my dad got one in the late 70s..loved it...i notice all the arm hair is missing..
