    Oh no maybe I should just look away...............I’ve been eyeballing a Blackstone griddle myself. Lol.
    Must resist! Oh, who am I kidding, I’ll have one myself in the near future.

    not sure about better, yours looks pretty good! I have to agree you really can’t beat cast iron. I’ve been married to my wife for 21 years. We help each other in the kitchen and split the cooking about 50/50. I’ve always used cast iron, and she always used her “ miracle non-stick” pans. About this time last year, she finally came around to seeing how great cast iron really is. Now she uses it all the time herself. I have skillets that belonged to both of my grandmothers and a great aunt, and of course the stuff I’ve bought myself.

    Can't go wrong with a Müehle R101 Patrick! Btw, I am starting a one week mini focus of the Rockwell razor starting this Sunday April 11 and ending Sunday April 18. Danny and Dave said they are in. I would be remiss if I did not tell you about it. I know you are busy so I understand you may not post, but whatever you decide is fine with me. It's great to hear from you!

    I'd say +1 but CTs don't change often. I'm still campaigning to have Joe's @Trigger CT changed to "Pinky"

    Ha! We may be able to make that happen. I may even break my "No custom engraving" rule.

    I am somewhat quizzical as to why you want to change my CT to Pinky? Lol! Got it because I cut both my pinkies.

    Greetings,
    A early morning returning to work shave after been furloughed since early December 2020...I'm now on permanent dayshift for the foreseeable future, and for the next 5-6 weeks the returning furloughed workers are on a 3 day 8 hour shift rota due to covid-19 UK working regulations. So this week i work for the next two days then I am off until the following Monday!...Anyway it'll be good for me to get back into the swing of things and have some real interaction with my fellow workers face to face rather than talking to them on the phone, text and emails... At least i have a job until i get myself something with more stability. The extra days off will give me a opportunity to look for something better...Even though everyone i work with are in the same frame of mind but, you have speculate to accumulate and get off your arse and find it.

    A Enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report...Finishing to the shave off with a generous splash of Dana ~ English Leather ASL.

    My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.;)

    Stay safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

    Tuesday April 6, 2021
    Razor: Krect Spiral Curve Slant
    Blade: Wizamet (7)
    Brush: MrEE LE
    Soap: T&S Sicily
    AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
    AS 2: T&S Sicily
    Fragrance: Paco Rabanne Invictus

    Last use for this blade at 7 uses. It was a close comfortable shave until the ATG pass which was fine but a little tuggy indicating it's life was thru. The re-plated Krect gave a nice shave but it's not as smooth as the original one that is on loan to a local friend. I think I want to get the handle of that one re-plated and maintain the original geometry of the head. I'll need to look closer at the 2 and compare when it gets back. 1508.5 continues on day 2 of the Sicily focus. I start this 1508.5 with the tub already showing a doughnut hole but it is deceiving as the tub is domed up in the middle. How long it will take, I do not know but I will conquer it as the 2nd kill of this year at some point. Have a great Tuesday Everyone !
