Awesome stuff Chad
I had enough time to record and do a quick preview. Going to need to come up with a cool intro like all these other guys, but that's a future project.

Great new additions guys!
Cute puppy Chad!
Eric, totally with you on the WB SR and Aventus! Looking forward to some of your process videos. I was only able to do shop in Jr. High. but it was one of the most fun classes I ever had and really put me in love with wood scents.

I don't feel comfortable talking on camera, so I don't want to do a video. I will share some photos and description though if you are interested.
Greed:
My most expensive products would have to be my Paladin brush, Tanifuji straight razor, and MDC soap.
My least expensive would be Arko and Williams soaps (neither of them actually get used though), an Ever-Ready brush that was given to me, and my Razo-Rock Teck II razor.
Wrath:
I love to hate this Simpson emperor brush. I love the handle shape and size, but I hate that the knot is so floppy it is hard to even lather a cream.
Gluttony:
Probably my favorite two scents that I have are a no longer made sandalwood scent that is just a bit different than every other one I've tried, and a discontinued Soapy Bathman scent called Blackjack. Smells just like blackjack gum.
Sloth:
This handle was a turning project that was given to me probably about 2 years ago and I still have not gotten around to finishing it or putting a knot in it.
Pride:
There are a few items that fall into my pride category. Probably the highest ranking are the straight razor that I forged. A cased, un-used Gillette Tech razor that my wife actually spotted and pointed out to me. A Rubberset 400 that was my first re-knot and also found by the wife. And a Muhle synthetic brush that was an unexpected present from Scott at Captian's Choice.
Lust:
That is a bit of a list there haha! There are a lot of things that I see and think "Ooohhh! I want that!!".
But in all seriousness, probably the only thing that I really "need" that has eluded me so far is an Iwasaki Tomahagane western style straight razor.
Envy:
Probably the only people that I truly envy in the shaving community are the craftsmen with more talent and patience than I have to make amazing works of art. Everything from razors to brushes, and even the awesome photos you guys take.
Although I do sort of envy you guys that are comfortable enough to speak on camera to do the videos.
That would save me a lot of typing.

Awesome Shawn! That Soapy Bathman Black Jack was a Boss scent. The soap wasn't all that bad either...but that scent! Oh well, maybe someone else will come along and make one!
