Summary: We had one of those late Indian Summer days today in Vegas. Shorts, T-shirt and open windows. The San Pedro in the background is a cut-off of one of my bigger ones that I planted somewhere late September. Decided to take my Otto for a spin. 50 laps on leather and this baby was shave-ready. BBS all the way. My favorite Habit Rouge de Guerlain to seal it all. |
Keep it up Gents. Have a great new week. |

Results: Sorry for being incognito for some time fellas. I am "kinda" back. One of a series of grants has been successfully submitted:y. Now, we cross our fingers for (hopefully) positive reviews in the March/April time frame. In the meantime, I had recently acquired two other W&Bs from eBay and sent them to Max for a total makeover. One of them is featured here today. Max dressed her in beautiful Forest Green G10 scales and gave her a nice mirror polish :bow. Honing and finishing her up on the Shaptons & Kiita/Asagi JNat was a breeze...and popping hairs has never been this much fun :). Decided to couple this beauty with the Arlington and my M&F. I really LOOOOVED the relaxing shave todayhttp://badgerandblade.com/vb/images/...ys/001_wub.gif. |
