If only. I would have a lot less trouble spelling it to people!

Thanks but no, my $8 Flea Market Texas Shumate has a blade that is 107 years old, still works as good as day one and will likely go another 107 years without anything more than simple periodic up keep. This $100K cheese grater looks like it's tailor made for the "more dollars than sense" crowd (those hapless idiots!)

The Trumper's shave cream lathered up really well and was nice and thick and creamy. The razor gave a nice smooth shave after a run on the coti to freshen it up. Nice close shave.
Enjoy the evening.

Today would have been my fathers 78th Birthday. He passed last year. I was off the past 2 days. Yesterday i bought C&E Sandlewood soap and AS. I have noticed my taste have been changing. A soap i previously was not crazy about, now i love the scent. Such as with the sandlewood. I was not attracted to it before. Now im enjoying it. I ubered it with Nancy Boys, I highly recomend!
I rehoned the edaco. The previous honing left irritation,i was trying something new. I hone the edaco with the Jnat Bill was so graciously lent me. I stopped at the Jnat. I honed the Della Bella with my normal honing method. Both provided a close shave. The Della was smoother and a bit more sharper. 2 passes and they passed the test but i went for 3. I am truely BBS! Im not giving up on the Jnat only because i think the Edaco steel feel a bit different.
Awesome post guys!
