  1. I could loan you the Lathertron, Jason. Do you have a red carpet?

  3. Fast n Loose, my friend, fast n loose. If I ever have to squeeze lather from the knot I consider it an epic failure.
  4. Thank you Jason. I wish they would make more brushes.

  6. Welcome back, Padawan. I'm available for a lathering consultation once you're ready to soar past mediocrity. My hourly rate and Per Diem fees are competitive. I'm also proud to announce that stipends are available through the Tabac Foundation and the AARP.

    First things first, we'll return the Aesop bowl to Fido and source you a proper shaving bowl. Then I'll have a look at your shaving brushes. Surely you have a decent one in the bunch. If not, I'll loan you a $10 Omega boar brush until you get back on your feet.

    No need to thank me. I'm happy to help with your much-need turnaround.

    This Hawk ‘Jaws’ gets good results, it just doesn’t feel that smooth getting there. I’m pretty sure I’m going to keep it. Have a great day all!

  12. It's hard to read his lips, as his hand and what he's saying blocks him out.

  13. Thank you Jason. Just dumb luck on my part. I do need to get back to trying to take different photos like in the past. However, I have grown to lazy.

  15. He's blowing a kiss, Paul.
  16. Why did the diode kiss the capacitor?
    He couldn't resistor.


    Did you ever wake up, kiss the person beside you and feel glad you are alive?
    I did, and now I can't fly on that airline anymore.


    Let's stay on topic, gents. ;)

    Happy Wednesday Everyone. The soap is sinking very fast now. The donut hole is large enough that I need to scrap the soap into the middle. I am off to take my Mom for her dentist appointment and lunch afterwards. I hope everyone has a great day. Take Care​

    Valobra Fougère~~Simpson CH2 Synthetic Badger~~Cobra Classic/?~~Vintage Paco Rabanne Pour Homme
    The challenge of a 3017 is
    exhilarating, however, one doesn't use some really fantastic products along the way.
    Case in point is the Valobra. Wowsers what a sublime soap.

    The Cobra Classic bit me on my lower-left neck...:angry019:
    I'll call it "user-error", but I binned the blade afterwards.
    Stank today is the classic fougère from Paco Rabanne. Second only to Brut.
