  2. Hey gents. I'm gone for a short time, and I return to find many of you impugning my humor.

    I could take issue with you all or simply show off my shiny Senator and my OC TTO Aristocrat. I picked them both up awhile back and just recently dropped them into the rotation. Chris at Back Roads Gold corrected a problem with the TTO mechanism on the Aristocrat.

    I hope you all are well. It is good to be among friends.

    Things are quiet here in the hills of Kentucky.

    I used a pink disposable razor and hand-lathered Proraso (my current 3017 target) for a very comfortable BBS hotel shave.

    Technique Trumps Tools, of course, but my Laser-Like Focus certainly helped.
  5. Show off. ;)
  6. Fine shave everywhere but S. Porcupine(chin). Just about the same result as yesterday. I thought the different brush ight change things for the better, bjt I decided to keep the same razor, for two more passes with it, and it cost me. I'm going to try to stick with my "2-pass" plan for each disposeABLE(equals one shave). I may also leave S. Porcupine alone for s shave ot two. It's a shame that my continuous S. Porcupine troubles ruin an otherwise fine shave. Time to perform experiments with that chin, no doubt. Fairly Outstanding.

  12. I also picked up a Bigelow-Parkin Co. Folding Razor and will post a photo when I use it. It cleaned up nicely and set me back $5 last summer.

    That's all for now. :)
  13. Same here, Jason. I had a couple of cased closed comb Aristocrats but ended up gifting them. I really wanted an OC Aristocrat because I thought it looked really cool. Two other razors that always caught my eye were the Sheraton and Tuckaway. I snagged 'em all from the same seller awhile back. Like you, though, I love how my NEW LC and SC razors shave.

    Happy Friday at last. Today is the first of many tax deadlines this season. We have made it through thus far. Another very nice shave to start the day. I decided to go with the Omega EVO brush this morning. @jtspartan was correct the EVO and the Muhle STF knot are very similar. The EVO might be a touch bigger but I would be hard pressed to notice the difference during the shave. Take care and have a great day. ​

  18. Thanks for the like, Charlie, but I've been informed, and correctly so, that I had this report in the wrong thread.

  19. Maybe you could try shaving while wearing a Piggly Wiggly t-shirt, Paul.

    Glad I can be of help. :D
