[IsaacRN]

Thats a beautiful pipe. I really need to remember to pick up my pipes when i go back home

[qhsdoitall]

Georgous pipe. See we don't care if you shave or not. Keep the pictures coming! Oh, and you're a pretty decent person too. :D

[Lyrt]

Thank you. :D Yup, wonderful pipe. When vices are ritualised they become an art of life. However, I still have to season it.

[Queen of Blades]

Gorgeous pipe!

Outstanding photo, as always! :cool:

[Sejanus]

I don't even smoke and that is a handsome pipe indeed!

From Bronco

50's Blue Tip Superspeed.
Wilky White DE blades
Bic DE blades

Red Tip vs. Blue tip
The head size is the same, what sets them apart is the heft, the red tip is much more in heft, the blue tip feels much like the 70's black handle silver tipped Superspeed

I figured I would answer before JB asked. :: (hope this helps buddy).:cool:

And thanks again to Steve!

Yep.
Thats what I loaded up last night.
This is my 1st open comb so I was a little tentative....no need to be.
I didnt find the razor to be that aggressive.
Maybe a butcher job with a feather will change my mind :eek:

Father in an open comb is easier than a feather in the slant but I still wouldn't be in a hurry to do it until your really comfortable.

Thanks Ken ;) I was a bit confused when I first saw it and thought it was some kind of hot lather machine :o:o

[Sejanus]

Yep, many varieties. You can also use your own coffee in a little basket that came with it. Just the two of us in the mornings, quick and easy and we're off to work. No waste.

[rick]

A lot of folks are giving you a hard time but I wanna know how good is the coffee.
A while back (B.A.P.) before AeroPress ;)
I was looking into one of these machines.
Yours was in the running for a long time.
Tell me mo !!

While I don't own one myself, my parents and a number of people I know do and they are all quite pleased with it. Some of the choices are better than others obviously but on the whole all the people I have spoken to are quite pleased.

I am a tea drinker, and I know the tea that comes out of that thing is decent, about on par with a tea bag. I brew loose leaf and such here at home but for a 'puck' format it was quite drinkable!

[qhsdoitall]

Ahhhh....a TI str8. Such a nice thing to look at.

[Queen of Blades]

Very nice straight.

I thought TIs didn't need honing brand new. :confused:

[Mottern Man]

See if it shaves with out a hone.

Anders Larson said in his books TI's actually come shave ready.

I am intrested to see if he is right.

BTW, that is one sexy peice of France you got.

[PalmettoB]

Jay, nice straight!

[IsaacRN]

Thats a different TI.....it was made by the man himself....very limited.and nice find

[Scorpio]

Nice Filarmonica and TI indeed!!!

Today I spent the afternoon with CR, Austin and Mike at Enchante. We saw demonstrations of the new Hard Round and the new Super Shaving paste. Gents this stuff is for real. The Hard round comes in Grapefruit, Green Tea, Sea Mist and Grapeseed. Grapefruit smells fantastic. The Soft Rounds are also great. They come in Lemongrass, Verbena and something else I cant remember right now. These soaps can be use as primers(used with creams to make superlather) and with the Method Shaving products. They can also be used as stand alone shaving soap.

My haul for today:

Grapefruit Hard Round
Lemongrass Soft Round
Hydrolast Activator...This stuff rocks no kidding you have to see to believe
Super Shaving Paste

I have said many times that I am not a method shaver but I frequently use his products because they are all natural ingredients and they work.
