Thread: Sun August 5th - Sat August 11th

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Brush: 26mm Morris & Forndran Blonde Badger

Razor: 6/8" ERN S#325 "10 year Guarantée, Full hollow ground, Round Point

Honing (Refresh): 20 laps on yellow coticule La Grosse Blanche (dilucot method w/slurry ) + 30 laps on JNat (w/slurry)

Strop: 0/5/10 laps (Torolf Linen / SRD Premium IV English Bridle leather / Ambrose Horsehide ClÃsico leather)

Soapreme: Jack Black Shave Creme + Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap + Glycerin + 1 drop of liq. Lanolin

Astringent: Thayer's Original Witch Hazel[/TD]

After Shave Splash: Floïd Italian Blue AS[/TD]

Cologne: Raw Vanilla EdT[/TD]

Results: A fabulously refreshing shave this morning. 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 . I am Catfish Belly Smooth and loving it (so so is the missus) .

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 .

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

Anyone watching the Olympics?

Not sure about you guys, but I am tired of NBC's biased coverage of mostly US sports . They hardly show some of the great ones like Track Cycling. Congrats for our British friends, they currently dominate the Gold count in that category second is Germany) . How about table tennis? Virtually no coverage in that (just highlights).

WOAH!!!!!! Its Robert! Great to see you. One hell of a blade to post.
