Brought out the venerable Wosty this morning in honor of Benz! While he’s out being doted on by the ladies, I’m laying on the couch with Coop watching the NASCAR race. I guess things could be worse...
Have a great week, gents. As always, thanks for sharing the great shaves and images!

Here's a little tip for you Silks----> After a shave like that take your dog to a public park. Put a leash on him and go for a walk. Dogs attract women like a magnet. I call it "Trolling for girls.":)Quote:

They really are magnets. Let me tell you what I found works even better... I am very lucky to still have my grandfather around. He is a blast to hang around with. I stop in and check on him a few times a week, and we have lunch and dinner together often. Since he no longer drives, and I have a very flexible work schedule, I take him to any medical / dental appointments he has. Ladies in the waiting room ALWAYS talk to him as he is quite handsome and charming. Once he tells them that the heavily tattooed guy next to him is his grandson, they LOVE the fact that we’re hanging around together.Quote:

Surprisingly good performance on this soap, Matt.Quote:

But when I used the soap, I was very pleasantly surprised. I watched their lathering video, and started with a damp-not wet-brush.
Face lathered with a Black Wolf Synthetic, and was rewarded with a very slick, very cushioned lather that left a wonderful face feel.
No surprise on that-not only is it a tallow soap, tallow is the first ingredient. Yet, it didn't feel heavy.
The scent on this one was one-note mint, but very refreshing on this hot day.
I've got another that just arrived-Doc's Special Blend-the ingredients are virtually identical to the Mint Mint:

I had this GD laying around for a couple of years so I finally decided to hone it and give it a go. Wow I really didn't think that a 4$ razor would give me such a nice shave!
