Happy Saturday Everyone. I love fall weekends in Atlanta and the weather today is nearly perfect with sunshine and temps in the low 70s. My motorcycle buddy is stopping by to watch some college football this afternoon. I think a lunch out of tacos and cervezas will be just the ticket. Greyson had me up early this morning for his walk. After a quick mile and some zoomies around the house, he has settled down for a day of napping.

I brought out the last of my Open Comb razors for OC October. While I love the Karve SB razors, this OC has never been a favorite. I get great shaves but just don't enjoy them as much as the Karve SB counterparts. This morning's shave was uneventful near BBS shave which is a fantastic in my book. I hope everyone has a great Saturday.

Enjoy your day with your bud! I hope your team wins (unless itā€™s Illinois- but given youā€™re in Atlanta I can guess that isnā€˜t the case lol)

Thank you Brian. My wife and I are both University of Georgia grads so that is our team. Our oldest daughter, Asha went to Alabama on an academic scholarship so we pull for the Tide most Saturday's as well. Our youngest, Maya, is a senior at the University of KY on an academic scholarship so we pull for them most weekends as well. They certainly need the help with football most years.

Rudy gets a lot of love elsewhere, but hardly gets a mention here. I suspect a lot of us have RV brushes. Mine is sitting in a drawer, branded with another site's logo. It's a great brush that I need to break out soon.

I know what you mean Bruce. This on is just branded with RV on the bottom. My other RV Rover has that other logo.

Great kit, Clint, as always! Iā€™m actually a fan of the Karve OC plates. My preferred Karve shave is with the E_OC. Differences are what makes this hobby fun! I still have that straight waiting for you, if you ever decide to give it a try! I realize itā€™s a futile try on my part, but Iā€˜ve always enjoyed tilting at windmills! šŸ˜€

I almost bought a Feather wood shavette on a BST the other day. Then I realized what I was doing. [emoji23]

Happy Sunday Everyone. Greyson makes sure I am up and moving very early. Having a buddy along for the walks makes it much more fun. I am off to visit my Mom and take her to lunch. At least I am clean shaven and smelling great for the visit. I hope everyone has a great Sunday.
