No shave today. I'm taking the kids to the amusement park, which starts our stay at home vacation. I'm still very smooth from last night, though.

Face lathered again today. I think I finally was able to get the MWF to lather properly. Looking forward to the weekend, long week.

Tired. Did the front struts on my honda. Honds suck for struts. But a nice shave changes everything.

Well this was the first shave for the NOS Wade & Butcher, and her first ever honing took her right back to the 1000, 3000, 5000, 8000, 12000, 50 laps on the linen 100 on the leather, and she delivered a smooth buttery shave.

You would be pleasantly surprised how much it did cost me Carl, it was a matter of luck and timing, i just happened to look at a BST post that happened to go live the very minute or two that i was looking and believe me that's the fastest PM i've ever sent well the rest is history, luck coupled with good timing Carl sometimes the straight razor Gods just look down kindly on you, this was one of those days.

Many of you may think you know what the bowl's, but you're not even close to the truth Works great with smaller brushes though and the razor's a nice one too
