Results: A fabulously refreshing shave this morning:y. The MWF is truly top notch and produces one of the finest lather this side of the Mississippi, especially when coupled with the M&F brush. I hadn't used the ERN in some time so decided to just send her to the hones for a quick edge refresher and today she delivered on the dime. A fabulously close and comfortable shave :tu. I am Catfish Belly Smooth and loving it (so so is the missus) :w. |

I have been absent from the brotherhood (I missed you guys) for some time and appreciate all the calls and PM. Everything is wonderful on my end. As a serial entrepreneur, I have been buried in building my business(es), writing proposals and for some time. Now that most of our proposals are out, I am ready for some mental R&R (for a few days, at least) and hopefully spending a few days with your ugly mugs :rofl2:.
PS: Sorry for re-posting a recycled photo, but didn't have time for a new photo...Wife and I got a busy family schedule ahead of us. Missuses and I are headed to pick up my niece and nephews from their cousins' house and we're headed to my folks' place for an early birthday celebration for mom.
Cheers,
Robert
