The spine of that razor looks awesome!

Love the worked spine and the scales. Nice one Jon!
That is one nice looking synthetic knot in the Peerless handle. Do you know who made the knot, as it looks like a badger.
I think I have a Peerless handle in the basement. Unfortunately, I think it has a hairline crack.
Great SW and HW. I have to tell you I am impressed with the consistent times you do per mile. The variability in time/mi. Is very small.

LOL! Sorry for the confusion Pete! The brush in the photo is my Made-Rite 100 with a High Mountain White knot. Here's the Peerless with a synth knot from TGN.
I've been doing the power walk workout for about 4yrs. now so I guess I must be in pretty fair shape. I can get into the grove and let the endorphin's do the rest! =)
Great shaves and more beautiful razors Jon! I have that 1 inch strip around the base of my neck as well, but I often mess with it with varying degrees of success. That is the only thing that ever keeps me from a full BBS with a straight razor and I am stubborn enough to keep attempting to tame it lol.
Yup, same condition here, but I don't chase BBS as it would be gone by the time I rinsed off my alum.
From this morning......

LOL! [MENTION=89999]skypsyd[/MENTION] & @rockviper Thanks for the chuckle guys, I need one right now!!
I was MIA yesterday for a reason... I feel like crap... My back is okay, but the rest of me feels like it's been pulled through a knothole!! No walk yesterday, and most likely not today either... I did manage a shave today though!
The Shave:
Thankfully today was a regularly scheduled DE Saturday. Using a straight today may have proven fatal, the hand just isn't steady enough.
Gillette Black Beauty @5 w/ Astra Superior stainless blade
Truefitt & Hill Trafalgar shaving cream
Ever-Ready c40 brush 'Shipmate'
Store brand WH
Truefitt & Hill Trafalgar AS balm
Sometime the little things can have an effect greater than the sum of their parts. Took a shower and a shave, and actually felt a good deal better. The shave was actually nothing special, a single hybrid pass for a DFS. I'm going to let it go at that. I'm not going anyplace today, and Ben don't care if I shave at all!

Oops, sorry. That video I posted was of grandma; that's why it's in black and white. 
Get better soon Jon! The Martini glass is back, I see.

Hookey dokes dere eh! Da' good news is I'm still alive. Da' bad news is I tried to kill myself. More accurately it was a conspiracy aided and abetted by my own foolishness! I'll never trust a blood sugar meter again! Got a bogus reading which led me to believe my feeling lousy was from something else, went to bed and when I got up next morning I felt okayish, so I went and did my walk (foolishness). Got 3mi. in and hit the wall... HARD! Struggled back to the house and crashed out for awhile. Got up a bit later and went to bed and forgot to check my blood sugar. Got up feeling lousy. When I feel lousy I have a tendency to not eat much (more foolishness). Moped around the house, took a nap ect... Checked my blood sugar before bed... BINGO! Now it all made sense!! Gunked down some maple syurp! I'm feeling a bit better now, and being sure to eat! I may tryout a walk tomorrow, we'll see how it goes...
The Shave:
Actually got a straight razor shave in today... Past few days have been DE. Went with this Berg for today...
EA Berg
Bison horsehide strop
Rubberset 400 w/silvertip knot
SV Manna di Sicilia soap
Store brand WH
SV Manna di Sicilia AS
Shave went well all things considered... No blood!! 2 passes for a DFS and let it go at that...

Glad to see you are doing well Jon! Get that blood sugar up! Good job with the shave!
Glad you figured it out and you are ok. Nice shave today with the nice gear.
