The French have really made my day today. I soaked the Martin de Candre in hot water during my shower which might have made a difference from the first useage. The lather was creamy and dreamy. The new brush may have made a difference too. How do I introduce what is probably the greatest shaving brush I have ever held in my hand, or ever will? Here it is, the Plisson High Mountain White 28/30 mm (size 20) shaving brush. I am without words. The Thiers Issard Spartacus shaved it all fabulously clean. Watch and enjoy what I experienced.

Way behind on my viewing time here and trying to catch up.

Great shave with super stuff…..what more could be said?

If you were in brush sales, you’d have my order.

Really nice presentation and great talk. One of my faves.

I think nail lacquers are very close to other lacquer coatings. I’d think a couple of thin coats might be better than trying to get it all at once. You don’t want to use too much that the solvent has time and volume to get under the label.

FWIW, never tell your wife that chicks dig scars if she notices a cut. I did that once and got an instant “what chicks?” 😎

Shave on!

I used wife’s clear polish on my two Simpson brushes in December. Seems to be holding up for now.

We did a lot of work expanding. At building we got the extra large concrete patio. Then we enclosed it with cedar and screen. That was three years ago. Last fall we had the extended concrete poured with the wood grain pattern. We’ve been blessed. Hadn’t always been so, but now things are good. Mama said shoot for the stars. I did, but landed in the cab of a truck. Hey, it’s regular, steady work.

Matt, my wife runs this household. I’m gone so much she has to, and does a fine job too.

You, of course are a supertrucker, but i used to make medical trunking for hospitals - the things that patients lie under and pray to Christ they get out of. Trunking is a way of housing cables so it looks tidy i suppose. Rather than knocking holes in walls.

i don't do much in introductions, But i like your videos and great to meet you. Watch your wife's eyes and that second freezer!

Thanks for the intended compliment. A supertrucker amongst drivers is a pejorative - a driver who breaks all the rules, aka a dumbass. At our company a driver will say, “I haven’t had a vacation in five years. I’ve had one load after another, but I’m making the money.” He might be a supertrucker. That sort of thing. Indeed, truck driving is a different sort of lifestyle. Even the administration staff almost expect you to forfeit any sort of personal life. If it weren’t for wife working too I couldn’t take the kind of time off between loads as I do. Owner-operatators virtually live out of their trucks. Missing the kids grow up, missing school and sporting events is common. Divorce rate is exceptionally high. Most drivers today are lonely, no support system at home. Most eat out every meal. Obesity, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes are insane. I have a wonderful wife, a great home life and support, but I work at it too. My wife keeps me reasonably healthy with home cooked meals I take with me from home. I have a refrigerator in there truck that will hold 20 Rubbermaid containers. Trucking is often a career for the least educated or failures at other. I consider myself educated and intelligent, but I did fail at two previous careers. One doesn’t get too many chances to start over in life and the cab of a truck is where we often land. I like driving a truck and I have a happy life… and that’s good enough.
