Not sure I follow unless you’re talking of the drawThat was a waste of time wasn’t it
I was referring to the draw from an English perspective. We’re supposed to be among the favourites. Not on that showingNot sure I follow unless you’re talking of the draw

Not pictured is one other TI and a Ralf Aust en route.
Never made it into Milan, deciding to head into Cannes instead - otherwise there surely would be some SV in here as well.
Will be sending the razors off soon for honing and need to source a strop. Other than that, I’m most eager to try out the Apsley.
I was shocked at the lack of attack in the 1st half honestly. I think a draw is much more palatable if it involves scoring. But finishing with nil is the problem for England.I was referring to the draw from an English perspective. We’re supposed to be among the favourites. Not on that showing
Totally with you Alec! The Black Friday sale is still on and I have been eyeing a number of brushes as well.I was eyeing some budget custom brushes to "complete" my rotation, and now I have most of the brushes from my list.

Notes to today’s shave: |
Looked at my bank account this morning and there is no way I'll be acquiring anything for a long time. What started as a logical buy turned into supposedly preparation for a GRUYERE and after that was postponed till January first, I crashed into numerous rabbit holes. Almost frightening how this put a spell on me.By the way @Jack Goossen - I know this is not the best thread to bring it up in, but I see some great razors available at your usual place.
