    I whipped up a heck of a lather with Arlington cream, and had a dream of a shave with my Mongoose and a Feather Pro blade! I may now be addicted to larger brushes...handle and knot!

    It arrived!

    This is a cool little 4/8 that I just had to have after Tom aka Sharptonn showed it to me. Made in Wisconsin, it has a picture depicting the Aerial Bridge in Duluth Minnesota. I’ve fond memories of Deluth. It’s small, 80K maybe, but it’s the second biggest city on Lake Superior... if you’ve never seen Lake Superior, you just have to go! It’s beautiful. The greatest of the Great Lakes - deepest too. It’s freakin cold.

    Anyway - I look forward to honing it up and shaving with it!!

    And Tom being Tom, I got a great addition with the blade.

    Wow and the bonus blade appears to have ivory scales. That’s quite the bonus. Tom is very generous when it comes to shaving stuff.

    I wonder what the ACM on the Gondola car support is for?

    Maybe TMI for most but here are a couple of links.
