Brew's Foul Concoction

Shoulderless are the BEST. They are also the most fun to hone. bumping a shoulder on a hone is nearly as bad as nails on a chalkboard to me.
 
Sampson, that will man up the shave if not the scent.
Unlike Shalimar, Polo doesn't need any hair on its chest. lol. This bottle is from when I was in college. It was likely a gift to my dad; mom didn't care for cologne . . . .
 
Nice post-shave hike with the dog. It's deer season here, I think. Lots of big shot gun blasts in the woods. I kept Koda close, even though he had his winter Don't-Shoot-Me vest on.

This time of year he's impossible to see in the woods without a vest.

Post hike snooze.

Man, my doggies would be scrambling for cover! Koda’s a brave soul!
They were pretty far off in the distance, Chris. I'm not sure how far Koda will take off into the woods, if I let him, but they guns sounded farther than I hope he goes.
 
Found a buried treasure in the C Box this morning: a razor with an original Jnat edge, untouched up by yours truly. What a treat. I have 3 razor boxes, A, B, & C. The C razors are my least favorite, though there are some embarrassingly nice razors in that box. Shaving edges don't know or care about which box I put their razors in. They just shave. And this one, a C-Mon Special, was great. The razor has a bit of hone wear, so the bevel itself is pretty wide and looks like it's been micro-sandblasted. Not the shiny mirror I usually see on my razors these days, as I've touched up just about all of them on syth hones. But this one remains hazy. 2 passes and I'm all-but BBS. I'll have to see what else is lurking in that box.
 
I have never experienced a jnat edge nor have I tried to use any jnat's to hone. I was tempted for about 25 seconds to head down that road but quickly decided to stay on the coticule path I know well enough. ...but I hear a jnat edge can be a thing of wonder.

Maybe its the power of suggestion but that watch makes me think barista for some reason.
