    Cool photo and I love that brush.

    Cool photo. Do you wear that belt to work?

    Great photo and I love the razor and brush.

    Another cool picture.

    That is a phenomenal shot!

    Beautiful photo and I love the scales on that razor.

    So, you got to take that picture where Zeus and his kids live? Nice shot!

    Great photo with a nice Fall feel.

    Not much difference in Wednesday's shave plan, but I always announce even the slightest difference:

    prep-Nivea COOL Bodywash in warm shower
    shave-Barbasol Soothing Aloe
    razor-Gillette Sensor 2 Pivot + DisposeABLE
    A.S.-Mennen Skin Bracer

    for those of you who thought I gave up on shave soaps, it's quite possible that in the not too distant future, I'll have 2(that's right 2, ah said 2)at the same time. That oughta give the ol' Burma Shave brush a workout. Stay tuned for details. And no, neither one will be Williams.

    Well if it is a Stirling and a Route66 that should be enough soap to last you a year. Those tubs are HUGE.

    one will be a Stirling sample. Quite encouraging to know the Rte 66 ones can last that long-they're a little over my budget, but I do like the looks of them.

    Even still that sample probably has as much soap as that puck of Williams you had.

    could well be. When I threw out what was left of the Williams, there was a good chunk left.

    Best Shave Ever!!!

    This was by far the most comfortable shave I have ever had. I actually stopped twice to check there was a blade in the razor as the Shave was so comfortable. This wasn't even using my best shave gear, so it was a great suprise to get such a great shave today.
