Having supplied Jason @jtspartan with a Karve setup and borrowing Danny's @Hembree I had been feeling I may want one again for myself but loath cleaning the brass to make it purty. Well last night I came across a deal on a SS with good enough plates to give me a start even though I will need to add an E and F maybe down the road.........(Has the A,C and D with a stand. The A will be worthless to me......)
@Hembree 's tastes are evolving, it appears, Dave... Next up on the 'what was I thinking' list in Alabama will be Arko.
Great thoughts and your are right about the Fine soaps. Old and new are two different soaps. I have croaps in the den but I always enjoy the hard soaps a little more.
One little purchase can make all the pain disappear, Blair...so sad to see what you are doing to yourself.
Great to hear that you are doing well, Perry! Hopefully this next year will be a great one for you and your successful program.
Glad to hear that you'll be able to do some fun stuff upcoming, Evan. Your brushes are getting a regular run from many folks on here!
I appreciate the advise and guidance. That is what makes this a special place and I do listen. The Essence is a drop dead gorgeous piece of awesomeness. Would I buy one? If funds were unlimited....no doubt. I just wanted to be part of the pass around so I could actually hold one and try one out. Kind of like test driving a Ferrari. If I do fall in love I may have to start saving some pennies. I'm sure Bill @Edison Carter will sell me his at a deep discounted rate. Hint....hint....Bill. You are right about a focus with a straight this month. I have this little beauty that @DaltonGang was generous and donated to the TSD raffle. I am leaning real heavy on a focus with the Diamondine this month. It is suppose to delivered tomorrow. Come to think of it my Fine Accoutrements Vetiver will be in tomorrow as well. Thanks Joe.
