That is a very good point!
They certainly took care of me!
SOTD: 12/29/2021
Razor: Feather Artist Club SS (Folding, Walnut)
Blade: Feather Pro Guard Artist Club, 3rd use
Brush: Stirling Soap Finest Badger Butterscotch
Bowl: Walmart Soup Mug
Preshave: Ariana & Evans Slick Stick Soap
Soap: Master Soap Creations Apricot Pie Puck
Aftershave: Chiseled Face Gemütlichkeit Aftershave
Balm: Zingari Man Unscented Sego Balm
Since I was paying tributes in my music listening today - here’s an homage to @NurseDave who is doing his coffee thing all week! So the soap is a collaboration between the South African artisan Master Soap Creations and Pasteur’s Pharmacy in NYC. They weren’t stingy on the soap - 6 ounces. While the title is accurate - you do get that pie feeling - there is a very prevalent coffee note in this one. Tethered with Chiseled Face Gemütlichkeit (gesundheit! - Here’s a tissue) Aftershave- you are engulfed in coffee notes!
Today is nothing but meetings about what was not accomplished because everyone is still on vacation and doing reports to the same. Yay!
I received additional photos from the artisan last night on the adjustable razor that is my goal - to further motivate me…

No shave today so far (I may do one tonight). My old boss asked me to come on board her new project as her deputy/solutions architect - which I am looking forward to. She’s a great boss - though I tell her I don’t like her - She’s originally from Bolivia and I remind her that they killed Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid (well maybe they didn’t - the movie ends with them still alive).
Here are the pics from the razor artisan from the email yesterday……we’re committed…..hoo boy! I know it’s 316 Stainless Steel - but I hope mine isn’t kept in the water all this time

That's a beauty of a razor!
Thank you my friend - I’m told it should come in at 137 grams which is almost 20 grams more than my Apollo
Which is what I really dig. And to think they trimmed off 20 grams from the 2020 version…..
I haven’t decided yet on the wooden box you can get……that is true art - but I have to be realistic about costs.
Yup I’d break one of them No-Buy Pacts in a heartbeat.No shave today so far (I may do one tonight).

I checked with @Luecke3262 - I’m in the good - money committed before end of the year - I had made a commitment to two artisans right before the pact. And to quote a great gentleman and scholar that led us all down the Tedalus path (that‘d be you @Bill M - It’s all your fault!) That’s my story and I’m sticking to it..

I haven't saved/collected razor boxes. I keep my razors in leather razor containers. Now, if my FB had come with a pristine original case, I would have kept it.
That’s what I do as well, I usually keep mine in ones like this…
Here is the box that is available …..
I consider the razor to be an heirloom piece - so that is why I am considering the box - but the price plus the cost of shipping it is above most razors out there. I have to ponder that…….
It is a handsome box. Save money on the box and keep the razor perfect by getting another leather razor pouch, put it in the back of your sock drawer and forget about it.
Sage advice my friend!
"Frugal" advice, anyway.
