It was a very long week. Shaved on a monday then today. I chose my Maxton to tackle the heavy growth. Couldnt even tell it was cutting hair.

My hobby is RC flying. Airplanes and Heli's. Align Heli. trex 500 and a 450. Yes the heli is flying upside down. LOL! The airplane is made from Fanfold foam use in housing.

Heading out here in a bit to try and hit more then I miss One of my other hobbies is Busting Clays, doesn't much matter what style Trap, Skeet or Sporting clays I enjoy a morning at the Gun Club



Quick and easy shave today

Getting warm and muggy today with all the rain lately, so I went with some of the Iced Mojito shave soap I got from TSD shop, whipped up with my goto brush a Restored Old Spice with a 24mm Silvertip badger..
The razor is one of my few personal Customs, a Boker #102 Red Injun in Black-n-Olive Flash acrylic

I forgot about that thread, there are some good eBay buying hints in there http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...jun-102-a.html

Finished the shave off with Pinaud Clubman A/S and I am off to breakfast and then the range...

Wish me luck, I need it hehehehe

I have many hobbies, I suppose. My main hobby is restoring razors, which goes with the rest! Restoring cars, motorcycles, furniture, appliances, and most any thing mechanical or electrical. I kindof live in the past, I think, so it all flows together.
Guns and Knives seem to be the order of the day. I feel most razor nuts are, as a girfriend described it, "Glitter Kitties". Anything shiny, sharp, or shootin is cool! Today I shaved with 2 old barber's use I restored for a friend. A heavy wedge and a double concave regrind. I used an old Weyer brush I restored with fine Razorock Limited suds from my Infidel brother!
The Belgium made 16 guage Browning shotgun and handmade knife were my grandfather's. The shotgun had rusted in a corner before my mom finally gave it to me and it was disassembled and completely reblued . Like Glen, I enjoy busting clay pidgeons as well as dove hunting. I loved duck hunting until I got hypothermic too many times and gave it up. On occasion, I have some monied friends who take me to a private club to (canned) hunt with dogs for Pheasant and Quail. What a hoot! I actually took this full choke thing to the trap range and did suprisingly well! I also collect Case Russlock knives (knife stand by Tarkus). They are the only ones with tangs!

A happy, Healthy, and productive week to ALL!..... Tom

That is one PURDY scattergun Tom!! I love when they have nostalgia and ties to old family!!
LOL the blades are beautiful also...
Is the RR getting low or still have enough? I think I still have "little"

Prep: Hot Water Wash
Razor: Imperial Extra Hollow Ground
Brush: Semogue 1305
Soap: L'Occitane Cade
AS: Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Finish: Pinaud Clubman
Result: Face and Head BBS a great comfortable shave.
Hobby: After some coffee and a cigar, I'm off for one of my favorite hobbies. I'm an amatuer Fleamarketologist. Flea Markets are a great place to spend an afternoon. Certainly I've done OK with rescuing razors but there's all kind of neat stuff to be found at flea markets. They're great places just to people watch as well.

Still awaiting Mikaels article with some swedish girls...
