Have a lovely Thursday folks

We live and learn, never knew those things even existed!

Thank you Chris...The Red 49 Pro gave a wonderful performance this morning. I've placed an order for a Semogue 1250 Pure Bristle Shaving Brush (connaughtshaving.com) as another pre birthday present to be placed next to my Omega 10005.

That will make a great addition to your collection. I am a bit sad that my Pura Setola labelling/print has started to come off. Might need a coat of varnish if I ever replace it. Do you plan to leave yours as is?

All of the labels have came off my Omega 48 & 49's pro's. I may give the labels on my Omega 11137 & 10005 a coat of varnish just to preserve them & the Semogue 1250 if needed. It's only cosmetic/superficial I suppose, but It will preserve/prolong both the labels and more importantly the brush handles.

thank you Chris.

fabulous thursday affairs gents.

Hmm, gloss, semigloss, matt, might spoil the look of the handle at the end of the day
Cosmetic yes, but it's nice have 'em lookin' nice

Thanks Gary

A nice shave on this Throwback Thursday.The Proraso Shave Foam continues to exit as a squiggly snake, but soon changes over to a cloud. Looks, feels, and smells great after application to the face and neck. While I struggled a little with N.W. Porcupine(under right nostril), the rest was solid. Goose-eggs across the board on cuts, Knicks, Polka-dots. One pass. Super Duper Outstanding.

My personal choice would be semigloss/silk or matt. Gloss highlights things too much, semigloss/silk or matt looks more natural.

Thank you Gary.

fine thursday shave Paul.

Thank you Gary.....I made the report just after you complimented the others. It's a timing persuasion, buddeh!

Thanks Gary.
