Thanks for the update Dave. I'm glad your stepdad is doing better after this procedure. My parents are still healthy, but I've been through grandparents slowly degrading and I saw how hard that was on my parents, it was hard on me too, but I don't think I understand how painful it was for my parents. It's painful, exhausting, and relentless, and you can't stop no matter how exhausted you are because every second is precious. However, I've noticed a sense of underlying purpose, strength, noble sacrifice, and Christlike service in those going through these struggles. As painful as it is, it comes with a sense of gratitude, peace, and love. I've observed this with many individuals. I hope we will all take the time to be grateful. To be strong, even when you think you're not, to be selfless, even when you have so little left to give, and to endure for as long as it takes is an honor and a blessing. Stay strong my friends. My heart aches for you. I know you can do this.

Nice! I've been tempted to try a cart here and there. Then I remember how I could never shave more than twice a week without having major skin irritation. Not fun.

Very nice Clint. I love the Rubberset 400 and MWF. I've never tried the Feather AS-D2, but I'm sure it's amazing.

GTB is a good one! Very nice shave my friend. Nice watch too. Great way to start the day.

I always love your posts Joseph. Nice gear. I enjoy how your taste and refinement seems so polar opposite of my, function-first way of doing things. Keep up the good work my friend.

Very nice shave Joe! Hmmm... I need to change my avatar as well. Thanks for the reminder.

Thanks Evan!

I really like that brush, Jason. Every time you post a picture of it a stare. Such talent and precision. Sorry about the irritation. I guess it still happens to the best of us (not really including myself in that as I still get irritation all the time). We're deciding my wife loves modern scents but every time I go for classic or vintage, she doesn't really like it... Unless you're talking about scents from the '90's, I guess our noses all go back to high school.

The Gillette had to be a Kitten compared to the Nodachi.

Glad to hear you are healthy Keith. The pictures and food look fantastic

Looking good Myles. Good luck at the recruiting office

Fantastic Fat Friday Shave Joseph. Glad to see VB made it out 2 days in a row.

Awesome shave Joe. Congrats on another week in the books.

Wonderful photo and shave Evan. My handle is out for delivery today

Stunning photo Jim. First Friday as a retired guy.

Simply Beautiful Jason. I absolutely love the brush

Thanks, Clint!

My wife seems to be the opposite. I get nice comments all the time about Old Spice and Brut. She banned a Creed Silver Mountain Water dupe. As far as High School scents, I've yet to see a Grey Flannel dupe...I bathed in that stuff for a year or two back in the day .

You cannot complain about that spectacular shave Jason. Take care.

I can't wait for you to find a few headache and tax free days to get that lathe out, Clint. Excited to see what styles you develop!

Phenomenal looking brush, Joe. I am a sucker for wood live edge/resin combos.

While I am awaiting a Hospice LPN to visit Mom this morning (she was supposed to be here 20 minutes ago), I figured I'd post a quick update.

This setup has been mine for the past two mornings. Excellent shaves both days!
Cella is fantastic and the Mühle R102 may be the most effective razor in my collection - almost always without irritation or mishaps.
Blade of choice was Personna Platinum Chrome (Germany)




My Pino Silvestre EdT arrived yesterday and it is WONDERFUL!! When the Mike's Pine/Cedarwood soap arrives today, it will be a good complement I presume.

Brut for the win! Nice Fougere Fat Friday, Jim. You have Et Tu as well, I believe- how close is it to this modern Brut?

Thanks Clint....a sedated kitten at that.

Another great shot of that brush, Evan! Can't wait...

That was quick Jim. I did not know members of the MOLC could move that fast.

A classic splash again, Andrew! You have some great, iconic after shaves for sure.

Great shave Andrew and an excellent combo. Congratulations on the new juice. Hang in there and thanks for posting the shave.
