Thanks Joe! Fortunately, I’ve avoided irritating the nick on the back of my noggin from that Gillette Single Ring shave a few days ago. I’m not dissing Gillette, Gary (@brit), it was a random intervention by the shave gods!

How was Sunday service? I haven’t been to church regularly since our old pastor left. The interim minister didn’t do much for me. I’ll be attending this Sunday since it’s the first sermon from our new pastor.

You too, Gary! Enjoy your day!

Looks nice, Gary! Your namesake (@brit) is a very knowledgeable Gillette safety razor guy, but his first love is his Tech collection. He’ll be able to give you a learned assessment when he signs in later.

That's a nice pickup! Congrats!

It was great! My pastor is a lady. She is a gifted singer and preacher. I have been with her ministry over 10 yrs.

Thank you Jeff....albeit the 3 Cuts, I think the positives outweighed the negatives.

That means I have until 8 to place my bet .

Thanks, Jeff! Skin Bracer is good stuff. It's a shame that it hasn't been available here in a year or two.

Seems like you live in a warm place!

This spring has been advancing somewhat slowly here this year. I just wish that night temperatures would stay above freezing, so it would be nicer to spend weekends in the woods.
I would be fine with 70°F, I don't need anything hotter than that, unless we are talking about a sauna! Many disagree with me though, and I understand that too.

Thank you Joe for the response. Hope you enjoyed Mother’s Day with the missus.

Very nice Proraso shave Daniel.

Fabulous shave Hogie.

I am curious about your swirl factor. What exactly do you mean and why I. Some instances it 1 vs 2 swirls. Nice shave regardless.
I just pick up the Mutamayez on Amazon for $18. Arrives later in the week.

Thax, Joe! I find my shaves are more enjoyable if I don't try to push so hard for a BBS shave. I still end up witha really close shave! I take more time now too.

Rabbit hole is getting bigger! Very nice pickup.

If you want to "try out" a straight shave, I will be happy to loan you a shave-ready straight for a week or two. PM me, if interested.
Don't have a strop to loan, however. FYI.

Fantastic shave, Joe!

Thank you, Joe! I find that recently I've been preferring Proraso blue to the green, but I will always enjoy the latter one as well

Nice shave Joe!
