    About the only thing the iOS Photos app built in editor does not have that I like on my images is a 'border' feature. You can crop (required to get the image size down), and then use the horizontal picker to change just about any aspect (that's ever needed for backlit device viewing) like exposure, color, vibrance, tint, vignette....and many more options.

    Thank you, James. I hope that Frank gets automated very soon and allows for a better ordering process.

    I guess "comfortable" would have been the better word. Leans more toward cold than hot. I threw on my warmup jacket before heading to the gym. I think your "like" came just as I was switching the grade from Pretty to Very. Thank you...was real pleased but for the cut.

    Had an excellent, methodical 3 pass shave earlier this morning. Fantastic lather, fantastic scent, fantastic results. Epic on the @Keithmax scale.
    51 years ago today, Mama Spartan decided the world needed one more goofball in it and I was launched into an unsuspecting society.
    Looking forward to a nice family dinner tonight.
    Have a great day all!

    You might get surprised...scrubbing bubbles works wonders some times.

    Another next step is for a polishing compound that may already be in the house..... Toothpaste. A polishing version that isn't gritty though! Put a film of it (not a dab) on a finger, rub between your fingers (don't go to a surface yet!). If you feel any level of grittiness, it's too much for plastic/resin. If it's smooth feeling, give it a whirl on the bottom of the handle with finger rubbing.

    I have some 100k and 200k Tech Tool pastes that I use for polishing with my fingers. The 200k makes a straight razor blade a near perfect mirror (if already polished/honed), the lower grits help remove light oxidation on BST purchases.
