Well it has been far too long since I've been able to post to SOTD. Hopefully things will calm down a bit and let me get back to this more regularly.

A while back a friend gifted me his old wood lathe and I have been playing around with it, mostly messing around with making brush handles. On Sunday my zen-like turning state of mind was rudely interrupted by a volley of Anglo-Saxon vocabulary that followed - in a decidedly un zen-like way - the removal of an unintended but large chunk of purpleheart from what was supposed to have become brush #3. Instead, it became snurdler #1. The silver lining in this particular cloud is that I can now feel a certain sense of sophistication and refinement as I now snurdle before shaving.

This was also my first time trying out this cream. Wow. Does it ever lather up nicely! The vendor I bought it from told me that I was lucky to have bought it when I did as it has been discontinued. So if you're a fan, best re-stock now.

Have a good one!

Well I almost hate to be the one to say it, but from this perspective it was well worth the troubles,

that is a shave to envy, and a picture to follow suit.

Glad to have you back in the mix!
