Excellent blade SnS. The Shumate was a favorite of Mark (aka, Blugill) who was one of our fallen brothers

Tim,
I always enjoy your SOTDs and gear brother. That is one lovey W&B and the uber and AS sure sound nice. Can't go wrong with Ogallala.

Beautiful score with that W&B Rene and nice scales (is that acrylic or half tortoise?). The Fili don't look half bad either bro. Nice choices

José,
That is one beautiful shot my friend (and a great shave)

A truly international razor: tang is stamped 'Made in Spain', on the box it says 'made with the best Swedish steel' and in the orignal papers in the box it refers to 'our German mills at Solingen-Ohligs'....Go figure!

Michael,
I like that...They seldom come so international ;-)

A DFS shave today. Just 2 passes. Starting to get consistent shaves with the AC. I have only been using it for 5 days and have a bit further to go with my technique!

Brian,
Welcome to the fold and congratulations on a nice shave.

PS: How do you like the Vitos?

Took the less fun one with more future options... not that it isn't going to have some quality fun involved and since I have a demonstrated skill for not getting sick when flying in tight circles so I will get some of the other jobs fun too.

Life as a "professional" biologist has begun more or less.

With the steady wage I might have to kick the RAD up a notch... instead of just enviously admiring the razors that yourself and some of the others (Max, Mikael, nicknbleeding, leagalbeagle, mjhammer, str8shooter, just to call out some of the worst offenders...) keep posting I might have to start shopping.

edit*** having taken a couple minutes to check SOTD posts from the last couple days I have realized that it is unfair to single any of you gentlemen out as everyone posting has some amazing looking gear. Beautiful Razors!

Razor: Toyo 666
Brush: Semogue 2000 Blackwood
Soap: Gibbs Shave Stick
Aftershave: Nancy Boy
Results: The 'stache is starting to get out of control, but otherwise a fine start to the day. Robert, I am now in Las Vegas trying to get hired for gigs or whatever, while rifling through some 800 videos for the web series we're making, all while accumulating a taste for whiskey. One episode down! 19 cities to go!

Ahhhhh...A man after my own heart. So, what kind of "professional" biologist are you? Where? I think we have a lot in common buddy. Small world. PM me and we can chat more.

The biggest one is Max, LOOOOOOOL...he has all of us hooked to SOTD and all things AD. So much so, that he even has Tom planning a US/West coast visit to get his RAD satisfied, LOOOOOOL

Justin,
That's cool bro...While in Vegas, you must hook up with Max. Sounds like you are having quite the fun. Ahhhh...the virtues of being young (take away the Whiskey...never cared for hard liquor, LOL)

You're one of the more "dangerous" types of enablers Rene, LOOOOOOOOOL. Quietly and deftly dealing a hand to the poor innocent and before we know it, game over, LOOOOL
