Despite some very tempting Black Friday deals, I'm still in on this crisp but lovely Fall day here in Central Arkansas. Had an excellent shave this morning.

Awesome.
The scritch might fade, once the boar bristles have been fully broken in. The backbone, however, will last. Enjoy!
still in no shave
Get well soon!! Covid sucks.Still out, another day without shaving. The Covid-plague has hit me for the second time.
Maybe three times is a charm, as they say, but the second isn't.
But I should be back on deck before December Grume starts...
Stay safe & healty, Everyone!
Cheers!

Still in, haven’t shaved yet today. It seems like there are now a couple of Black Fridays on the annual calendar, and it took me a few hours this morning to remember that today is one, the OG.
FWIW: a family member yesterday told me that plumbers call this Brown Friday. 🫣

Thank you very much for your get-well wishes, Friends 
The fever seems to be disappearing... and as soon as I stop coughing like an old tractor I'll reach for a razor again...

Not that I’m trying to be an enabler but for the lovers of the tallow tabac Connaught Shaving have them at 9GBP or $11.35 a pop.

Into the final straight now, comrades! Wonderful Saturday afternoon shave. Great matching scents, superb edge, and a super smooth face! Have a great weekend all!
I received an unasked gift yesterday, an artisanal soap plus loading bowl.
The main ingredient of the base is pig fat
I heard so many horror stories here from amateur soap makers that also peddle (poor) shaving soaps that I’m a bit reluctant to try it out.

Summary - A careful and close shave this Saturday. All parties performing as intended! Superb Saturday Start!
Only one way to find out Hannes @Multum in parvo - still nice though that someone thought of you…even in an apparently piggish manor
Enjoy! I would say that it should make for a slick soap I mean lard in cooking has the same effect right.For extended shave notes click here.
Enjoy your shave!
I am out fellas...
