I didn’t know there was a “process” involved, and unbeknownst to me- I harshly judged it for the plastic it was in and never wore it. So this time I’m going to do like Indiana Jones in the last Crusade where he takes the grail- doesn’t take a tiny sip but a huge gulp- I’m gonna slather it on there and let it do it’s thing and give it another shake. I’ll keep ya posted, lol- might even take video
Exactly right! You don’t just wear The VEG…. You gotta Rock The VEG!
I don't really have a problem with the VEG Except that the last time I tried it I got sick !!I didn’t know there was a “process” involved, and unbeknownst to me- I harshly judged it for the plastic it was in and never wore it.

I’m gonna have to look into how to concoct that stuff- it sounds similar to what I do when I shred Williams soap and melt Vanderhagen glycerine soap into the shreds. Vander-Williams.FTFY!
Stock up on Williams if you can, it’s been discontinued.
Scored this S.R. Droecher Blue DIAMOND for a great price and in VERY GOOD CONDITION, from the auction site. It was listed under the WRONG name and went unnoticed. I jumped on it for another member who was wanting one! It needs a good polish and hone, then it should be good to go(maybe repaint the scales with metallic blue paint too).
One of the absolute best razors produced in the early 1920's out of Solingen. There are few that I've shaved with that I love more! YMMV

I was gifted this beauty(the Single Edge Pro) and 24 Black label blades as a housewarming present , by a wonderful gentleman and friend, @Scuttlesoap . Thank you so much my friend, I've always wanted to try a Supply Razor and this pick up ticks one off the bucket list for me! I hope it shaves as well as it looks!
Cool.
Gives a whole new meaning to ‘shaving the deck’.

That’s a beauty there- I just had my eyes dilated and probably shouldn’t be looking at a screen right now, but is that a “sport” razor? In terms of length? I’ve had one very similar to it. Blade was super super thin. I got it at a flea market. Very cheap. Tried to set the bevel on the heel so it would be even with the rest of the blade. First (and last) razor I ever broke on a honing stone. It shaved great, but the heel and back 1/4” of the blade wasn’t usable- and I like to use my razors. So yeah. It was sad. But I took the experience and learned from it.
I think I know what you mean by "sport," razor it is a bit longer than most, though I have not measured it(maybe by a hair). The grind is an extra hollow, so it is extremely thin. I use a rolling X stroke to pull together all parts of the edge, all the way into the heel. Sometimes you cant get every mm of the heel, but I usually get the great majority.
It should clean up really well and the minimal hone wear is a huge plus! I've never broken a razor while honing, though I have added a chip..... We tend to learn with every honing experience, both good and bad. We have a honing thread if you want post your honing experience! Click Here: for What are you honing today?
Picked up this shelf for completing my shave den in our new place!
It will have 4 of these wood inserts for brushes and bottles, the bottom will be for towels and the top will have a Pothos vine plant.

Will do- maybe it’ll push me over the edge in pulling the trigger on some bench Arkansas 8x3x1’s I’ve been eyeballing for years….lol- Black, Translucent, Arkansas, oh my!

Hadn't previously heard of this artisan before, but the scent profile (combo of Green Irish Tweed and Silver Mountain Water) coupled with the Masters theme was too much for me to pass up!
I think you’l be pleased with the soap - the scent sounds fantastic - I enjoy their base - plus they put a nifty “casino” coin to use as a scooper - which is a nice touch
Like @Spider said, at the end of being on sabbatical, I would get back to purchasing things with gusto... WELL, I did.... Mainly because I want to try all the offerings TDS has and sample some them out to my friends. TDS is a huge value even with the shipping you have to pay! Thankfully the bill was in Belarusian Rubles and not USD. They average out to be around $5 each, I ordered 1 of each! They even said they were throwing in some extra goodies for me!
You’ve gone full ScuttleSoap on us!
