SOTD - Sun August 15th - Sat August 21st

Absolutely, I'm now en-route to the beach for some R&R and some vitamin D.
I think what really threw me off with it is the point. Most of my favorite shavers are spike point, the round point is deceiving.

I actually can't wait to try the Fili, I truly think I will do much better with that beast. For the Fili I'm gonna go fully Proraso like I usually do, so I can minimize the unknown factors.

Thanks again for the opportunity to try such nice razors Robert. They will be here waiting for you... along with my Rolls and the Case and Justice that you NEED to try ;)

Saturday, 8.21.10

Duty Day at the T&S Club... Early shave... Late Post

Aura Glow as a Pre Shave Oil
Williams Shave Soap .. Neat!
Semogue SOC NanoBoar
R. Helliwell Crystal 9/16ths
SRD Premium 1 strop .. 45 Linen/85 Leather and luvin' it!
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Nivea As Balm
Pinaud Clubman

The diminutive little Helliwell Crystal proves once more that It's not the size of the dog in the fight... It's the size of the fight in the dog... It takes a back seat to no razor!

Williams "Neat," and by that I don't mean neat as in "neat-o," nor neat as in uncluttered... More like "Neat" and in "I'll have Scotch please... Neat..." Unfettered, unadorned and uncomplicated!

Thanks David...Enjoy the Fili and don;t let the size intimidate you. Show her who's boss. I think that the "Justice" belongs in the arsenal of Bill (aka, LegalBeagle) and he has already claimed first right of refusal to it :).

I hope they don't read this, but if ever Glen, Max, Alex or Brad (and others) decided to retire (or boycott restoration work in protest to the rest of us), what will we do :shrug:!??

Glen: Nice job on Mark's blade :bow.
