    I’ve missed those awesome pic summaries, Clint!
    I see that APShave is now selling some synthetic knots that are handmade in Germany, as well as some labelled Muhle knots. I wonder if either are the supplier for those Shavemac synthetics.

    Thank you Charlie. In addition to the progress on MWF, I’ve been using the Lose It app daily. I’ve lost 29 lbs in 63 days. I just took the app’s recommended calories per day and. It that number in half or more.

    Thank you Jason. I really like the calendar at the end of the month.

    I bet they are the same knots.

    I’m feeling good with the weight loss. I think I’ll hit my weight loss goal before I finish the Fat.

    Congratulations, Clint. That is awesome news! I've lost focus recently on my weight. You are inspiring me to get back on the wagon.

    MWF~~Rubberset 400/3~~1947 Gillette Super-Speed/Light Brigade (1)~~YSL M7
    Day Thirty
    Broke out a fresh Wilkinson Chromium a.k.a. "Light Brigade".
    One of the smoothest, sharpest and longest-lasting blades EVER produced.
    I have gotten 30 3-Pass shaves from these suckers---they're that good.
    Let's see what gives up the ghost first, the blade or the soap. :eatdrink013:

    Seems like @Primotenore and I were thinking the same thing on razor choice. Even funnier when I bought this razor along with a Gillette Short Comb several years back. As Joseph said the key with MWF is to really load the soap. I had enough rich slick lather for 6 passes. The 47 Super Speed smoothly removed the stubble. This is an extremely smooth and efficient razor. I hope everyone has a fantastic Saturday.

    Well, thought I’d be done today, but it looks like there is just enough left in the tub for another shave. I feel like a Bond villain- “why won’t you die, Mr Bond”…

    I think that resin pour in that Paladin is my favourite. Just beautiful, Clint.

    Based on how you and Clint are doing with The Fat, my money is on the blade giving in first…:eatdrink047:
