Oh ok gotcha Bill. Yea we have many craft beers here in MI, it is usually much better than most store bought beer. The name just reminded me of the Olympia stadium they tore down. Sorry for the confusion, just taking a walk down memory lane.

 

Great picture, Roby!

My son gave me that same brush last year for my birthday. Is yours as scritchy as mine? I still smile when I use it. As a matter of fact, I'll use it today!

 

Jim, have a great day my friend!

Today I had the kind of shave which I was dying to have yesterday with a monstrous freeze from the Glacial Eskimo Tuxedo soap. Its beautiful Sharp Dressed Man scent filled the bathroom and the lather was so rich, slick, and protective. Whatever my dear friend Ray (Mr Freeze) said about this soap was 1,000% correct - it's absolutely perfect. The Snake Bite aftershave splash stung a bit for a second and then its powerful menthol effect came through like a ton of frigid bricks. BBS in two easy passes!

Awesome shot Chris!

 

Very nice! what is the DE in the bottom pic ?

 

Awesome photo!

 

It's a scritchy one and it sheds. That's why it's relegated to the travel kit

 

I forgot about the shedding issue.

Oh, I just love the memory lane, mine of course is a pretty long trip, goes all the way back to the early `40s, best wishes, don`t spend too much time in the past, but fun. Nostalgia is addictive.

A 2 pass shave: 1st. pass, a straight WTG all the way, J1 is so smooth you hardly feel it. The 2nd pass: ATG/WTG/XTG with a near BBS shave (my boo boo is all gone). I will return to my regular rotation tomorrow, Happy Camper, best to all.
