I don't go to the barber anymore and have not for years. I don't let it grow out either. I have clippers and I knock it down to start over again. Going to a barber would be a ripoff for me. But, the few hairs on top will tickle my head if I don't have a hat on. So, I shave them off now.

I had a pony tail for years but, all them meds I take raise hell with my hair so, I cut it all off now to abot 1/2 inch and let grow out til it bothers me and cut again.

I am amazed that I got such nice examples for such cheep prices (each less than $20). A couple look like new!

I had a lot of thick hair when I was 25. By the time I was 40, it was mostly gone on top.

Managed to find a glass bottle for my aqua velva as well. Only issue is if I try to put the bottle restrictor in the lid will not properly seal, so I’ll just have to be careful when pouring some out for use after each shave.

I can't believe it's 1yr since you started Marine boot camp. What's happening and how are you doing?

Thank you Gary...this Clubman cream is great stuff-just need to play with it a bit to feel full confidence.

I'm Scotch-Irish muhself.

Tough week behind, what with my wife having a surgery in Boston. I am thankful for the time to regroup and reflect as I shave. All ended well and she is home recovering more and more every day!

This week's lineup is shown above. The Sabre with the Level 2 plate will keep my smooth on long workdays and the Level 1 plate will be for the days off relaxing shaves!
It has been since mid-January that I used any boar brush, and I am happy to break out the JR#431 with its Maggard premium boar knot for duties this week, alternating (maybe!) with a G5A knot in the Zombie Genes handle. And the soap is one that has been in my soap drawer consistently since January 2016, albeit not the same tub!

Terrific shave Eric! Glad your wife is recovering well. Have a great week my friend!

First and foremost, Happy Father’s Day to all the fine Dad’s out there. I hope you had an enjoyable day with your offspring.

This morning’s shave was a duplicate in both set up and results of yesterday’s shave. The Type G razor just delivers a nice shave every time I reach for it.

I spent the morning splitting wood for about two hours. Following a nice warm shower I had a phenomenal shave. Smooth and refreshed which had me ready for time with the family.

I hope you all had a great day.

Thak you Joe. I suppose I could have used ANY of my cold-weather products today, but the Clubman did me well.

Glad the missus is recovering John. Fantastic looking shave line up. I love my Jayaruh #329 with the same style 400 handle. Have a great day.

Good shave, Paul!

Great shave, Joe! Iconic example of technique trumping tools!

Thanks, Joe! Great day! Nothing like sous vide ribeye! I’m stuffed!

Nice to hear from you, Myles! Semper Fi!

Great shave, Eric! Nice to see you posting! Glad to hear all is on the mend with the bride!

Great injector shave, Joe!

fabulous gents..
