Yes, I hope as many as possible made it to a safe place! Terrible news!

Great looking brush Tom. Love the rose. Great romantic touch. Of course, one cannot forget about this razor...Buddel has done a great rescale job

I have no blade with me in my bed.

Haaaaaaa...that was too funny Tom. I love it.

Isaac,
She's a beauty for sure. I love the deep yellow color. I am sure she gives amazing edges. Enjoy her (and the blades that come off her) in good health my friend.

PS: Thank you for the kind words maestro

Beautiful chopper Otto, but she's pulling a bit, eh? Just curious (since I have become a stone addict, LOL): What will you use for honing her up back into shape?

I did not shave yesterday, so today was a treat.

Nice treat indeed Bill. I recently received my MdC soap and test lathered with it. Lather quality is outstanding. Congratulations and have a great, productive day in court my friend.

BTW: somebody's birthday is coming up soon (wink, wink)

She is a beauty Grant. Never looked for one in the US, but will keep an eye out. Do they come in larger sizes like 7/8"? I assume yes, but you never know.

Bravo! For the new guy from Ekelstuna!

Swedes don't mess around. Very nice shave

You bet it is Glenn...especially when you've got two beautiful women waiting for you to get home (it's the best feeling in the world). Have a safe trip home and can't wait to see what kind of goodies you got.

Thanks Glenn. She's my first love and as such will always remain as my top dawg in my collection. I would give up my Fili before this one.

Nannys soap was a mad and spicy one today - The new formula seems very nice indeed and prob a notch or two better than the old one. The Ever Ready was a nice change of path

Mikael,
Nice change of pace indeed. I have missed my DEs. One of these days, I will bring them out and take them for a spin. I did visit Nanny's site. I assume that all of the one they're selling is new.

Arild,
I hope so too. Our prayers are with the victims. I've been frantically emailing our friends/colleagues in Japan to check. They're OK. Haven't heard from my friend in Tokyo yet (worried).

BTW: Nice TI and great to see you back. Been wondering where you were.

Great to hear. It's been horrifying to hear about this disaster.

Just now I got the new nickel-plated travel-brush with the new synthetic-bristle.



I already tested the blue one (you remember)
It looks like a silvertip and feels like a silvertip.

Ahh, pace not path, sometimes my English fails. No, I think everything there is her old blend (the jury is still out re this blend/mix, I think). But the old blend´s still very good. It´s one of my top three on my soap list - Nannys, Cella and recently MdC.

Let`s hope your friend in Tokyo is OK also. And thank you for your kind words, you always has a nice comment to everybody and this thread would not be the same without you Robert.

Have a great day all, and thank you for the great photos and storys!

My thoughts are with the people in japan this morning, I hope everything turns out ok...

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Omega boar
Soap: Mama Bear's _Wood
Razor: Goshen Cutlery Co. (11/16) Thanks Harvitz81
AS: Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male



After one week having not shaved, I shaved today.
Pretty good shave with this razor
A neat BBS feeling after shaving.

For the people in Japan, hope all is well and right.
I am now looking at the TV, terrible.

Hmmm...maybe, I'll contact her and see if she plans on releasing her new formulation soon.

Thanks Arild. I just heard from my friend. He and his family are OK. His wife's family live in the Wakayama prefecture and were temporarily evacuated (not sure where though).

Nice blade Kalerolf. Of course, you can't go wrong if you got it (or was honed) by Joe. I also dig the handle on that brush
