The first really hot day of the year down here so out with some refreshing Grapefruit. It's a shame they are both nearly empty just as summer begins.

Good to see you on the forum this evening. I'm watching the football game and checking TOST now and again and it felt like a ghost town. I wonder if folks are not as active due to the issues with posting?
What issues?

I had an excellent shave this morning with the Gem Junior Parade and my custom Schick G. The red handle on the Gem is actually from my Treet razor but I really like the brass and red together. The Novelist by A&E is a fantastic soap. I love the scent and the lather is wonderful especially when whipped up with the 28mm SHD badger. I'm wearing the Casio world time today which is one of my go to watches lately.

For a guy that doesn't shave much of his face, you sure use a bunch of razors for a shave

Gotta work my way through the collection somehow. I used 9 razors for one shave before.

Always love seeing a picture of that brush! Goes well with the handle on the razor. I could try to forward you our current weather in the SE of the US...rainy, windy, chilly...downright dreary! Not so good camping weather (Dave in KY)!
How do you like using TOBS? I'm thinking of getting either Eton College or St. James. Lime Zest caught my eye, but seems more appropriate for your season!

Wow nice handles you got there...and the ones on the razors also!
(sarcasm emoji combination)When you said before that you manufactured Schick handles, is that one of them? She's a beaut! That's a monster knot. Do the SHD badger knots suck up a lot of lather? Pretty good for face lathering I suppose. I think Dave in KY used a knot that large a couple of his videos back and I thought man, won't take long to lather the face with a brush that large!
Don't mind Dave in KY, you know he's got a thing with those baton handles!
