Wow, Mark, that is certainly an enormous razor! Do you ever loan out you Enormousizer? Asking for a friend.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas!!
In the mood for some Latin Jazz this morning so here are a couple from the great Michel Camilo. From his Triangulo album, here are "Piece of Cake" & "Descarga for Tito".
Hope you enjoy..
Great shave today! The Stirling soap delivered the goods as always! Great lather. Three passes with the Rockwell Model T, then the Williams Aqua Velva (with added skin food) and a spray of Royal Mayfair. Great start to the week!
Hope you have a great day!!

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Getting things rolling here at WMRK with some instrumental / fusion / jazz / metal from Aussie guitarist Plini. Here is Handmade Cities.
Wonderful shave today! First time using the "Old School" soap from Moon Soaps. Love the scent! Tobacco, vetiver, leather, mahogany, and vanilla combine nicely. Subtle and well balanced. The lather is fantastic as well. Finished with a splash of Whiskey Woods (with some skin food additives) and a spray of Dior Homme. Fantastic!
Hope you have a good day!

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant night.
I'm in an electronica mood this morning so for today's Morning Music segment I'm choosing some Retro Electro / Synthwave music. Hope you enjoy.
Great shave this morning. First use of the Heritage Hill soap (thanks again @DeepSea!!). Wonderfully slick lather! Very light aroma and no one note stood out more than the other. They simply combined into a light, "cologne-like" scent. This would make a great summer time soap. Also used the new brush today. This is the handle I ordered from Tim (@Knothead ) in which I set a 26mm Nexus fan/bulb hybrid knot I ordered from Phoenix Shaving. Finished with some Paul Sebastian balm and matching cologne. Excellent!!
Hope you have a great day!!

Good morning Cadre!! Hope you had a wonderful evening.
Well, it's finally here! The final day of 2020, The Year of Suck!! And although we're all aware that things wont magically change come tomorrow, the new year always brings with it a hope that things will get better. So my prayer for you all is that 2021 is a year of peace, a year of happiness and a year of good health to you and yours.
I had thought about celebratory music for the final 2020 edition of Morning Music, but I'm in a more subdued mood today so I'm going back to the Jazz channel on YouTube. Really great stuff to have on for the work day. Hope you enjoy!
Wonderful shave to end the year today! No real "theme", just random selections that combined to produce a great last shave of 2020.
Hope you have a wonderful day!

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a wonderful weekend.
Let's get things going this morning with some good old-fashioned Rock N Roll!
Great shave today! Observed "No Shave Sunday" yesterday so today's shave was especially nice and close! Two-passes and a touch up was all that was needed. Finished with some Aqua Velva (with added skin food stuffs) and a spray of Mont Blanc "Presence". Great start to the week!

Swamp Thing is a pretty gnarly looking brush!
Great song selection too!
Great song selection too!
Thanks! Tim ( @Knothead ) does fantastic work and the Phoenix Shaving "Nexus" knot is one of my favorites.
