It's name drop day !! So it's a Wool FAT Friday and a chance to finally use my New (Stubble Daddy) Trotter Handcraft brush handle with it's new Maggards Brown Synthetic knot. I liked the look better than the Synbad. Worked perfectly with "The Fat" and got a nice slick lather going for the Star Razor to do it's thing. This thing shaves great but I never cared for the little and thin handle. A member makes a little adapter screw so I can now use any handle I want and the RR Super Knurled does feel good wielding this tool now. The blade stops are getting pretty worn on this old girl so I may try to tweak them up if I can or will need to try to find another. This one was a generous gift from Steve (
@Graydog )Topped off with another gift from the Infamous Ken (
@fluffy )and I wish I could get to Germany and get a case of these to share and have backups. He says it's a cheap drugstore aftershave there but it is a nice light scent and feels great on the skin. Great stuff you can't get in the states or off the Bay..........Next from Russia that finally arrived after 2 months is the Fragrance from Avon

That's right Avon is still around and I believe a bigger thing in Europe now than the US. This is a win for me and we'll see how good the legs of longevity are with it. Thanks for enabling me Joseph
@Primotenore Not an expensive one at all especially if you hunt where to get it. I've seen it for $20ish shipped and as high as $50. You know this old horse trader found it for the cheaper from Russia verses other Countries. Well work was on tap for today but the Out-Laws need a hallway light installed with a switch so I need to crawl in their attic and run some wiring and cut some holes in sheetrock for devices. I could do it over the weekend..............................Nah. Or ask the Boss for the day off and get it done today. He's a jerk but in the end he (Actually that's ME) gave in so the weekend can be used to accomplish other things. Have a Stupid Fun Day folks !! (The emergency rooms are open for you)
