Tom,
What happened to your other great picture? The one in military clothing?

The scan of the picture is bad because of the paper-structure. I tested a trick.
I uploaded the picture again.

To compliment yesterday's composition, I present me as a child. My wife loves this picture.

The shave today was better than yesterday, but I'm in a real slump as I could not get the SRD soap to lather at all. I just got foam even though I probably only added 10 drops of water...

But, I'm focusing on the positive - I've thoroughly enjoyed all of your shaves this week! Have a great day, gentlemen!

Nice young lad Sorry to hear about the lather issue. I had this issue with soaps for a bit. I watched the video on mama bears site that showed putting water on top of the soap, letting it sit and then soaking up the remaining water with the brush. Then swirl your brush using virtually no pressure (i do it for a 20 count). You'll recover and have great lather again in no time. Cheers!
