    It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
    This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

    With the predicted high today of 1, yes 1 deg. F. (-17 C) thought I would go with just a neck shave for the next couple of days...

    I've not had much time to take and upload photos over the last few days, so here is a picture from last week (Friday maybe?) and one from today.


    Mitchell's Wool Fat - Semogue 610 - Gold Dollar #66 - Pinaud Clubman



    This GD was honed on a coticule and it was ok. Needs a bit more time on the hone to be really comfortable.

    Mitchell's Wool Fat - Zebrawood Silvertip - Toyo Scheon Burg #666 - GFT Marlborough



    The Toyo also needs some work. Not the most comfortable shave but it certainly got the job done.

    You are having a heat wave. Right now at 11:04 AM CST it is -25F with a wind chill of -60F. We won't see your balmy temps until this coming weekend.
