Another superb close-in POV. Excellent perspective of your array.

That's a real beauty, Freddie. Love the caught on film look.

I hadn't realized before that you're living in Roanoke. That where I was born, living in the Riverdale neighborhood until moving to Salem. My sister still lives in Roanoke.

Thanks Ron!

Lived in both Roanoke and Salem pretty much all my life. Moved away for about 3 years but came back. Currently living between Williamson and Plantation road behind Breckenridge school if your familiar with that area. You ever come back to Roanoke for friends / family?

Greetings,
A new shave set up to start the last weekend of 2017,it's the maiden shave of the APShaveCo ~ Cashmere synthetic brush which was a christmas gift from my siblings, the verdict?..A total joy to use it's the softest feeling brush i've had the pleasure of using to date, but still has plenty backbone, ideal for either face or bowl lathering, a superb addition to my shaving den..i'm well pleased with it.

A enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups no-irritation silky smooth shave with no errors to report.


Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of Proraso~ Green A/S.

My face is feeling very smooth & smelling devine.

Enjoy the start of the last saturday of 2017, ladies & gentlemen.

Congrats on the new brush. Barry. Glad it performed so well.

Actually my sister and her husband live off of Plantation Road, a couple of miles from you. I don't visit very often, usually when my son and his family fly in from Sacramento to visit his mom. I moved away in 1967 when I joined the Air Force.
