I don't think so, but you never know.

He appears to be a gentleman though, judging from how he tipped his hat to the lady.

Sure's a gentleman, I never would question his manners

You should had been around a couple of days earlier, when I really needed to sell some razors (and did too), to buy the coffee machine I wanted (Expobar Office Leva/Brewster, with PID and double boilers), but instead I got hold of a LaCimbali Junior DT1 (pro version with HX and with a rather serious weight of 33 kg/78 lbs) and to sweeten the deal it had only been used for two months and it came with a Mazzer Super Jolly grinder ... and to sweeten things up even further, it got it for a steal, so now I really don't need the $$$ :

Well, Bill, I do

No shave today.
we were in the sauna!

Sat. Feb 4
Brush: Vie-Long Boar/horse
Soap/Creme: Col Conk Bay Rum
Razor: Merkur Progress
Blade: Gillette blue
Pre: Hot Towel
Post: Masters Lilac Vegetal
Hair Groom: Just a little water, and a few strokes of a military brush.
Result: A fine weekend shave.

Prep: Hot Shower
Razor: Boker Red Injun 102
Brush: Semogue 1305
Soap: VDH Deluxe
AS: Nivea Double Action ASB
Finish: Nitro EdC

Not many bells and whistles here but a great shave nonetheless, the Red Injun was my first "real" straight and endured my fledgling attempts at honining and stropping without complaint, all the while delivering consistent decent shaves. Today's shave was no exception. A few laps on the strop and the Red Injun effortlessly mowed down the stubble and made me presentable for my out and about Saturday.
