    It is Friday gentlemen!

    I am really enjoying this mini focus and things are becoming easier with the SRX.

    Excellent Tabac lather courtesy of the Simpson T3 Trafalgar.

    I completed two passes with the SRX....no weepers or nicks. :happy108: The Parker SRX is a solid razor that is nice to handle. The alum was noticeable but not bad this morning. A little Witch Hazel and then a few squirts of Scottish Antique by Andy Hilfiger.

    I have a package coming in today from Clint @clint64 that I am real excited about.....a PAA aluminum DOC. Clint had to make room for that new R102. ;) I appreciate Clint cutting me a nice deal on it.

    Hope everyone has a wonderful Friday.

    Great shave Danny. I noticed USPS had updated delivery for today. Seems like shipping times are getting a little better

  8. It's just the right foot-the side where the pinched nerve(lower back-lumbar) is.

  9. Fantastic first outing with the R102, Clint. Try the head on a heavier handle and see what you think. Have a smooth day at work.

    Good morning!

    Eighth day of beard outlining. Not sure how much longer I'm going to keep it. Right now it's nothing more than an act of independence. I'm growing it because I can. Woke up scratching my face this morning though. I'll probably be shaving it off soon because I want to.

    Have a great day!

    Had a very nice shave with this Karve again this morning. Jeeves lathers are amongst my very best, but I had it not quite as rich as I usually get it this morning. Plenty good enough, though. I must have been quite tired (or unfocussed) as I mixed my passes up on my right side cheek. Went ATG for my 2nd pass and realized it after I went over to the other side. My XTG 2nd pass is in different directions on my cheeks, fwiw. I have a true N to S growth pattern on the left side, and much more of a mouth to ear growth pattern on the right side. I just replicated the ear to mouth on both sides basically and, ergo, ATG. Did it make a difference? It mattered not a whit to me, besides the xtg 3rd pass feeling really smooth on that cheek.
    This Karve rocks. I don't even think I'd get extra plates for it, to be honest...although I do love the look of OC razors.
    PS- I turned the brush so that you can see the beautiful, split black hair Joseph...
    Have a great day all!

  20. Nice pic and set up Jim. I understand why you want the Werewolf look, but it is a pain to keep it neat. I remember when I had my goatee. Trimming and lining it was not fun. Eventually, I had to have a barber to it every so often. I guess it would be easier now that I can shave with a straight. However, I like the clean shaven look. Enjoy your unofficial retirement Jim!
