No seriously, I'd heard bad and mediocre things elsewhere so I never tried them. I'm happy with what I'm using now.

They aren’t the greatest blade. I got a 10 pack for free and they aren’t bad but I wouldn’t go and buy them.
That's pretty much what I recall: they are serviceable, but that's about it.
Busy times all around but a very nice shave today.

Have you tried both the Normal and Pour Homme editions? Thoughts?
No I haven't Chris how are they in comparison?

Was just curious. One of only vaguely a riff of the other I think. The regular is a bit more fruity heavy I want to say…while the Pour Homme is lighter and more aquatic. It makes me think of blue jeans for some reason.
We’ll that is an interesting observation. Light Blue has really been a staple of my frag stock from the beginning:. When the mood arises I truly enjoy it. I must say though it really is a casual grab for me so the whole “blue jeans” thing resonates. Need to grab me some of the ones you mentioned!
This one I had to look up!
Would be easier if he posted pics huh?
Oops my bad...
Sometimes there is just no time but I will endeavour to be better!
Not at all. There are dozens of shaving products I haven't used.
I love trying new soaps and this one has been sitting around in a box of goodies for a long time now. So today was the day! Steerious Shave Peppermint Lime is a lovely soap indeed. Took it out if it’s wee box this morning and dropped it into one of the OS mugs I had sitting around. Lovely minty scent and it lathered quite easily. Lovely thick and slick lather. Wow! What a great shave with this one. I have to look this small artisan up.
Enjoy your Friday and the weekend.

So I have played guitar since I was a wee lad…in fact, that would be near 40 years. I love guitars, amps, pedals, you name it. I have literally owned 40+ guitars, more amps than I care to remember and of course a truck load of pedals. Anyone who plays collects etc knows what I am talking about. I have played out, played in, done studio work…you name it. My best nights? When I can walk into an open mic night and just have fun! @MarkB will surely back me up!
Here is the current crop. Each are perfection in their own right…for me.

Now those are some beautiful guitars, Ed!! Have played saxophone for the better part of 20 years now, miss the days of high school and college jazz band!
Yeah I reduced the herd down to three guitars and three amps. We have a pretty talented bunch here on the Cadre...horn section, guitars, bass...someone has to be on the skins and I know we have keys... @BarberDave we need to get that Cadre get together in Vegas sorted out!
