Well, next thing I knew, I was at the bottom of that thing with a somewhat painful foot.
Turns out I had managed to get 25 fractures, some torn ligaments and what not in there
Like my 5 year old foster-daughter told me later, One has to practice first!!
Especially you old people. heh, I can just hear you all cracking up all around the internet now

Hope you're not going to try that stunt again, LOL. Kids are too brutally honest. She is right though: getting old is a B**ch. We have to remember we're not 20 anymore (well, at least not physically. Mentally, that's another question, LOL).

Robert,
You have everything right. I really love, one of my favorites. At the same time hard and soft.
...but I will gladly exchange with your Wosti Max-Scales!
Regards,
Béla

Razor: R. Schofield , old hall st, Liverpool
Brush: Vie Long Horsehair, (small knot tall loft, a little floppy)
Soap: MWF jammed into an old Spice mug
AS: Osaga Rub (kicked up with a few extra menthol crystals)
ASB: Avon (a very nice ASB, it's so cheap it's almost free)


Great DFS today. The Wool fat took a little more work with this soft, a little on the floppy side Vie Long horsehair. It wasn't the explosive lather I've been getting with a firmer backbone brush. Note to self; MWF needs a brush with backbone to lather easily.

Great shaves today, Gentlemen.

Another outstanding Maxterpiece restore. Congrats, my man. The Paua shell scales are stunning. I have a NOS Revisor from Max rescaled just like that.
