Thank you! I appreciate that. Today was the maiden voyage and I was not disappointed.

Wintchase,
Welcome back...missed having you around here. I certainly missed that brush (very nice). Congratulations on the new Wacker acquisition.

Thank you, Maestro of the SOTD Chris is an English brush maker, he turns the handles himself and he doesn´t have a own name for the brushes, but his name is Chris and it´s my Chris Craft, not to far from my Polo 8 in super two band. Very nice brush anyhow.

Thanks on both counts Mikael, i.e., compliments and info

Hotel Bar Soap as a shave soap
$1.25 Throw away razor

Cleaned my whiskers off but it actually hurts.

Ouuuuuch Jeff,
I bet this shave will go down in the books as "unforgettable". It's amazing how much we (and our face) get spoiled by smooth and irritation-free shaves from our DE/straights.

Happy birthday to mom

Thank you José. But I am afraid that it's you (and others) that set the precedence for awesomeness.

Thanks Tom, I'm really proud how this little guy turned out. Wasn't sure I was gonna like it cause its a little small at 5/8, I lean a little towards 6/8 and up, but this dude performed like my Big Guns do ! I've got a C.V. Heljestrand in a Faux Frameback that should be here later this week, I really love the shaves I get off Framebacks. Gotta love em !

It seems to me that framebacks are wedges, which are easier to hone and maintain??? And ever somuch purty! Remember the Alamo!
