    Absolutely beautiful shave and nice homemade witch hazel splash. I agree, the 1912 Ever-Ready razor is an efficient shaver. I will use mine for this Tuesday’s shave. Have a great day Barry.

    Most excellent shave Dave. I sure hope today is the last day of your at home camping adventure.

    Very nice shave Jeff. I am sure you will get the dome shave dialed in.

    Ah warmer weather must be a welcome relief for you southern folk. Fantastic shave to start your day Danny.

    I’m usually ok on 6, but was not paying attention and ended up with some irritation on the back of my dome! I’m going to stick with it until I get it dialed in again! At this point, I knew that another pass wouldn’t be helpful! :cool:

    Actually, Danny, I started six years ago, but on my doc’s recommendation I stopped until I figured out a year or so ago how to compensate for my Parkinson’s with weights on my forearms. :cool:

    I like mine as well! It’s sort of amusing that my safety razor gave me problems while my straight shaved like a dream! Now that’s something I never expected a year or so ago when I slowly began slipping down the straight rabbit hole! :cool:

    Fantastic MWF shave this morning. The TI is fresh off the green lapping film and produced a super smooth and close shave. The three pass shave, wtg, xtg and atg, was as expected minus a nick on the very first placed down of the razor. Inadvertently touch the top of the ear with the corner of the blade. Oops! I survived, refocused an completed the shave.

    Have a great day.

    Love that brush handle, Clint! We’re having my stepson and his significant other over for dinner this evening! SWMBO has left to acquire some fish! Should be a decent meal! :cool:

    Not many gun Smiths in these parts due to the laws here. They tried to outlaw shotguns at one time . Was a hot topic .

    Fabulous shave, Joseph! I love Feather Super AC blades, they’re my preferred AC blade! I always get incredibly close shaves with them. I never get more than 4 or 5 shaves from a blade! That may be because I use them mostly in my Vector and General for dome shaving. Enjoy your day! I’ve started wearing the Avon Black Suede! SWMBO doesn’t seem to notice! :cool:

    Thanks, Joe! That’s the plan! I was shaving fine with the Ambassador, but haven’t touched it in months! I think it was reminding me of my faithlessness! :)

    Lovely shave, Joe! Glad your lapping film honing was successful! I guess you used it for a touch up. :cool:

    I am surprised that your wife doesn't pickup on the Black Suede scent. It is strong but not overbearing.
