    Mail call just arrived today and thought I would share some new products that are rare so far. I bought these on sale and won this very interesting proto type Yaqi lucky dice 26mm Brown whiskers mew fan knot synthetic on the raffle(never seen synthetic fan knot). The razor is Yaqi's new 316 torsion slant razor with a polished Chippendale ( Vintage Darwin?) handle.

    You can get a handful of different synthetic fan knots from APShave Co. I believe a few are sourced from Yaqi as well.

    Maiden voyage of the Thistle Cut newly honed by @gssixgun. Now that’s what I’m talking about - super easy and smooth shave making short work of the stubble in record time. Truly enjoyable shave :happy036: Finally have some American steel in my den - ironically it came all the way from Ukraine - about 15 miles from the front lines in Zaporizhzhia

    Happy shaving - Karl

    Every time I want more of the cigars on top, they're always sold out, except now. One of the tastiest cigars I've ever smoked.............

    I had a few left from a year ago, lit one up a couple of weeks ago, and what a nice taste.

    I think it looks fine. When I reeived my first Stirling(which I call Stoylin)I had to call Rod(who I call Doc Ezlovan)out of concern of its appearance. He said just go ahead and shave with it. I did, and I've been happy with Stoylin ever since. :)

    @Paul Turner thanks Paul, I hadn't tried Stirlings before and wondered about the appearance. Glad I wasn't the only one! Will give one if these a whirl this week. Looking forward to that.
