  1. Thanks for the compliment, Joseph, but I am far from a honemeister. The progression you used couldn't fail to yield a decent edge. Honing isn't rocket science, it's just patience and testing. :)
  2. Thank you Gary. :cool:

    No shave Saturday. Instead, I took my fishing poles for a kayak ride. That snow-capped mountain in the bottom photo is Pikes Peak.

  4. Thanks again Gary! Yurii's reputation is very good so I am sure that it will shave well. There is a FB page that is just for Art Razors by Yurii Kravchenko and every one has enjoyed his razors.
  5. Nice pics Troy. Hope you caught some dinner.

    Early morning shave with an early evening post. I went to work at a client site all day today. I made a big dent in catching up but still have a ways to go. At least I was able to get a relaxing shave in before starting the day. The ŌKU brush might be the best face lathering brush I own. The feel on the face is divine with excellent backbone with a wall of badger feel. The little brush loaded and lathered the MdC with ease. A few drops of lanolin added to brush while face lathering makes MdC one of the best soaps I have tried. Three passes and touch ups with the Blackland Tradere caught the baby with ease. I think Swati and I are going to the taqueria for some tacos and a beer. I hope everyone has had a great Saturday.

  9. Nice shave and classy setup Clint. Enjoy your night with the mrs.
  10. The fish were safe, from not only me, but everyone I talked to this morning. But, water is so peaceful. Paddling and trolling for salmon, bass, walleye, trout is pretty good fun, even if nothing like the bait I used.
  11. What's the fun in that. We watch the car races to see the wrecks. Same principle:D

  12. I would love to try some Blanton’s if I can find it without the price jacked up! I’m thinking my next bottle will be Wild Turkey Rare Breed. Yum!

  15. Beautiful Joe. You will have to bring to our next meet up.
  16. I like to be alone with my new razors before I go on stage.

  17. Thanks Joe. Will do.
  18. Same issue here if you can find it, it's OVERpriced. Wild Turkey Longbranch is incredible too John and reasonable here at least
  19. Thank you Joe.
