I saw tonight from tracking, it’s on the move. But why did it go from UK to Frankfurt, Germany?

That's where it catches the train to Vienna, as I understand it.

Must have taken the wrong train. Just checked and it’s now at Charles de Gaul fedex hub in (Paris?).

There's an airport there by that name.

From Jeffersonville, Ohio, my shave from this morning.

From Greenwood, Louisiana and 60+/- hours of whiskers, I much needed a shave.

Leon does the speed shave.

Some nice pointers for safe gear handling.

Home Sweet Home 2022. Safe travels.

 

[Graybeard57]

Have a safe trip home.

Here’s what I came home to…

Baked Cod and crab meat nachos


Carrot cake…


Caesar’s salad

I forgot to post these pictures of my trailer upon my return to Houston terminal. It was 27F degrees when I left Greenwood Louisiana yesterday morning. Not much over freezing into Houston. Ice on my trailer in Houston. Amazing.

Today’s exciting journey into straight razor shaving. I can’t say it will be bloodless.

Finally, my discussion on Arkansas Novaculite honing stones, especially Dan’s Whetstone’s True Hard, Translucent, and Hard Black (surgical black).

Their giant stone saw


My trip to Dan’s Whetstone was in 2017. I’ve been invited back every time I’ve talked to them, even in my big rig truck. I made my point in the video and I think it’s valid. Be sure to watch.

Great show & tell commentary.

I’ve used soft ark for bevel sets. You do need to work the deeper scratches out though.

I do know of a slightly higher mileage adoptee that is available for open grandson positions. Formally in the strong back / weak mind category, until the arrival of occasional minor back issues. Drop me a note if interested.

It has finally arrived. After departing Isle of Man UK to Frankfurt Germany, to Paris France, to Memphis TN, to Houston, to delivery… and some 20 days, my Simpson Chubby 3 Manchurian Badger has arrived to my possession. Truly a world traveler.



After observing the beauty of the brush I took note of the single band Manchurian knot. More to say later on that, but recall my recent video on topic. Too bad it didn’t arrive before my morning shave.

Here’s my morning shave with 48 hours whiskers growth. Indulging with my Boker Count Engelbert II straight razor.

I can sense the disappointment in your writing.

I’ll be glad to offer One Benjamin Franklin note for that brush.

Only in your best interests, mind you. It will help ease the pain.

Let me think about that… Uhhhh, no! My wife would say, is you crazy! Without having used it yet, I can say the single band knot is not as silky soft as the two band Manchurian brush from QED recently purchased.

Next load assignment: loading tomorrow in Houston, deliver Woodburn, Oregon next Thursday. Snow and ice here I come.

yeah, but look at it!

I think it is just awesome.

 

[Longhaultanker]

Yes, it is a very beautiful brush. Will be in action tomorrow night for debut.
