  3. It has been a busy summer. We just finished up firewood. Our big project was finishing up a Farmall Super A that my dad started working on probably about 15 years ago. It was the last engine that he built. I lowered the tractor and added a seat for parades and for fun at the tractor shows. We started stripping the tractor down for paint on labor day weekend. It also got new tires and a bathtub for the grandkids to ride in. I've also started to get back into my photography hobby.

    What projects have you been working on?




    11:51 into the video is my son's tractor.

    12:04 into the video is the lowered Super A

  4. That brush is a looker and one of the highlights of the den.

    Thanks a bunch and take care.
  5. It is....just busy and I laid off the shave den for a while and that just made it hard to get back on board. Hopefully I can spend more time hanging out with all of y'all.

    1 Days growth

    Usual Prep and Preshave = Faulding’s shave cream, nearing the end
    Cream/Soap = Cyril R Salter
    Brush = Pura Setola
    Bowl = White plastic
    Razor = No 77
    Blade = Vintage Schick (1) I thought I would try a fresh Schick blade >>> made no real difference
    Passes = 2 +
    Post = Usual CWR, Alum, rinse, pat dry, Thayers rose petal, Nivea balm
    ASL = Imperial Leather
    Scent = Guerlain Pour Homme
    Score = 9/10 for end result
    Damage = none, but the Alum made its presence known in no uncertain way

    Fresh Schick blade made no real difference. Still an aggressive shave. Not the best blade for this razor I guess. Got the lather a bit thicker. Got to really focus on sliding along the cap/riding the cap, real light pressure, that seems to be the trick with this razor. Will stick with this little razor a while longer, swapping out blades and see how it turns out.

    Have a great Wednesday one and all

  19. I had an e-mail from Maggard about a 24-hr. deal. They don't sell from Strike Gold....shux. Ahhh, that's all right-I'm on with the SG group anyway, and it isn't like I have no soaps left.
