    A Bare November Day

    Gentlemen's Best Signature Series Shave Soap
    New Forest #2211 Finest Silvertip

    SRD Premium I Strop .. 60 Linen/60 Leather

    From My November Guest...

    The desolate, deserted trees,
    The faded earth, the heavy sky,
    The beauties she so truly sees,
    She thinks I have no eye for these,
    And vexes me for reason why.

    Not yesterday I learned to know
    The love of bare November days
    Before the coming of the snow,
    But it were vain to tell her so,
    And they are better for her praise.

    Prairie Creations Mayan Magic ss
    Thayers Cucumber WH w/ aloe
    Anherb a/s conditioner
    Floris Vetiver Edt

    Back to the number one bathroom and a straight razor. After 20 laps on canvas and 50 on horsehide, the Wosty gave me a very good shave with the PC soap. I always get good lather with the PC soap, btw. It felt good to use the straight again. I still cannot get as good a shave with straights that I can with DE's or SE's but I enjoy the process more.

    Robert,
    Congratulations on the new acquisition and thanks for showing us. It is absolutely stunning.
    I'm sure it wont be long until you master the new tool.
    I'd love to have one in my collection one day.

    Glenn, sounds like you're getting along well with the honing. That Bomb sounds divine! The guys in your family are very lucky, those are some great looking handles. Can't wait to see the finished products!
    Thanks Bill. The shaping is the fun part, putting the finish on is a PITA

    So as some of you may know i work in retail...
    Matt, I did retail management for 10 years and I feel your pain buddy. I actually miss the rush of working BF, but the hours were terrible. The plus side is that you make a little extra, you're too busy to spend it, so you end up coming out ahead Great SOTD! Hang in there!

    Thanks Glenn . It is the shapest (pointiest) blade I own...I have love spikes and never got a nick from any one of them. This makes the spikes on my other blades look like a round point
