Same here - I try to put at least one in every lecture I give to the students.

I had them matted, framed, and hanging in my veterinary clinic when I was in private practice, although I had to be really selective. Some of them would be considered offensive to cat owners who don't appreciate Larson's unique sense of humor.

Thanks Robert !
yep ive been using the naniwas quite a bit, and have been fortunate to have blades with no real problems,( frowns, smiles,ect) oh and happy belated anniversary!!

Pre-Shave: Hot shower + Stephan's Conditioning Smooth Shave Creme

Razor: 6/8" Henckels #50, Hollow, Square point

Brush: 23mm Shavemac Silvertip Badger

Überlather: CarrieM's Black Raspberry Vanilla Shave Creme + TOBS Lavender Shave Soap + Glycerin

Post-shave/Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol)

ASB: Truffit & Hill Grafton

Facial Moisturizer: Trumper's Facial Moisturizer

Result: Today's SOTD is with Henckels #50 (which I got from JeffE). CarrieM's Black Raspberry Vanilla (which I am almost out of sample and will need to reorder) was simply awesome...a true delight to my olfactory sense...I love this stuff. You can always count on CarrieM's creme to consistently deliver a moist and thick lather that doesn't dry on your face in the middle of a shave. The Henckels was also a fabulous blade to use(Thank you Jeff). I really do like my Henckels and Friodurs. They have been nothing short of impressive.

Enjoy your Thursday gentlemen .

PS: On behalf of both my wife and I, I thank you all for the wonderful anniversary wishes . We had a wonderful dinner (Moroccan fish with couscous, lots of greens/salad and of course the wine...you see it in the background of the SOTD today). We chatted and laughed it up and chilled in front of the tube, watching "The Pledge"...Of course, I can't stand TV, so in no time, I brought out my laptop and did some work (+ PM-ing with some of you guys and catching up on SRP).

Good ones Bill...How about a shaving related one (not sure if it's Larson though) and one classic Larson. I couldn't find one of my all time favorites (two bears in the forest seeing a couple of campers in their sleeping bags. One says to the other: " look...sandwiches")

Sure Robert. Tease me with your nicely honed Henckles 50. The same model im trying hone up Just kidding I love Henckles and soon will get her in shape. Well i hope!

Rene,
Just a subtle hint ? I wasn't trying to add fuel to your fire...simply encouragement. I would love to see your Henckels on the SOTD...They are great blades. How does she look? Are you getting close to getting it shave ready?
