Have a great weekend Guardians!
After much trial and error, and considerable expense, I can make a few shaving recommendations for those who are interested. Muhle makes a tremendous razor. Astra Platinum blades are an incredible bargain. Simpson’s Manchurian Badger cannot be beat. I also use Taylor’s Old Bond Street Jack. I especially like the Peppermint. However, to me, there is nothing better than Trumper’s Limes, Coconut Oil, or Almond; in that order.

Thank you for the compliments on our German Shepherd
cudgee
. You might be surprised to learn that even though she looks serious, she is really just a big marshmallow. She would not hurt a fly, but she does not have to, nobody would dare test her! All she needs to do is show up.
Great pics Leslie, and thank you for the shaving recommendations
I've not tried Astras, I've been using Feathers a long time now, but I might give them a try some time
Good Morning Guardians
I'm starting my full week off for Thanksgiving. It should be jam-packed with things that need to get done. Football game today, football on TV tomorrow, and moving everything back into the house on Monday - Wednesday... getting ready for Thanksgiving and eventually Christmas. Hope all my Guardian friends have a fun relaxing weekend.
That's a cool pic John
Hope you get moved back in OK my friend
Good morning all. Starting the day off right with a good shave and a good knife.

Nice pic Bill
Outstanding shots today gentlemen!
Been getting acquainted with this beauty by carrying it all week. Turns out it's a stout, hard working, hand friendly, welcome addition to the flock. Just love it, thanks Jack!
Have an enjoyable weekend all.
Pile side can be seen in the Stag Saturday thread
I'm pleased you're liking your Hartshead Barlow my friend, I think you'll find it a tough knife
Good morning guardians.
It's been a while since I've stopped in to say hello. It's been fun going through this thread and catching up. Hope you all have a great weekend!
Great to see you here
I will probably choose my newest lambsfoot to carry all through Thanksgiving week. (I have to put away most of my knives when family comes to stay, just so they don't worry I've gone knife-mad) I expect it'll finally develop a good patina after cutting fruit pies and such.
That's nice Rachel
I know what you mean about putting knives away, I try to keep most of mine out of sight when I'm expecting visitors. Nonetheless, there are currently 6 on my desk, 28 on my coffee table (half of which are in a box), and 25 on my kitchen table!
I wonder if Jack is enjoying his nap?
Thanks for thinking of me John
If I'd known the final stage of the Windows 10 update would have kept me locked out of my PC for 2 1/2 hours, I might have thought about staying in bed
Good morning everyone!! I got back from the hospital late yesterday afternoon but was in "Squinty Eye Pain" and was unable to post. "Squinty Eye Pain" is, when you hurt so bad, you have to squint one eye shut really tight to help the pain medication do it's job.
Here's a pic of my "L-il Un" with horn covers and shaped handle with my board reflected in the blade.
Sorry to hear you've been in so much pain ED
I hope things are better today my friend
I have my nap scheduled. I'll be counting Lambs...
Watching the Premier League on the telly.
With the proper accompaniments, of course.
Looks like a great afternoon (?) Vince, though I'm sorry you were disappointed with the result
Hope it was an entertaining match at least
Jack Black
- Just saw that “The Irishman” is coming to Netflix, next week. Watched the trailer. Kind of felt conflicting emotions. On the one hand, a veritable “Dream Team” of cast, director, and script/story line, and on the other hand, a kind of farewell to a generation of our bad guys. Hope you enjoy it as much as I’m sure I will, Jack.
Good Morning Guardians.

Good point Harvey, they have certainly left a legacy. I think you'll enjoy it a lot
I'm sure I'd enjoy that doughnut!
Morning Guardians. It's been a few days shy of a month now with this beauty in the pocket. I do miss the L'il Lambsfoot a bit, but am really enjoying carrying it. Hoping everyone has a great weekend, and if there's any CFL fans, that you enjoy the Grey Cup tomorrow. Our city is hosting this year but didn't make it
Glad you're liking it Mike, I have found it hard to kick out of my pocket myself
Great knife
Another excellent pic Dan
It's been a beautiful Saturday.
Cheers to you all.
Looks good to me
Thank you, Jack! I was delighted to see a nearby brewery crafting such a unique style. I always just assumed that folks made their own Braggot by mixing beer and Mead....
Well, I managed to get my outside chores done for the most part so I'm treating myself to a couple of brews and some cigars.
I hope everyone is having a pleasant weekend so far.
I'd have thought the same Dylan
You've got the making of a great time there my friend, cool pic of your DamLamb
Cock-a-doodle-do, time to wake the roosters! Well, I might be nice and give them an hour or two... But thought I'd add in some

@Leslie Tomville Thanks for the compliment. I thoroughly enjoyed your pics with your Shepard! What a stud! That WNCLF looking the treat.
HAPPY SUNDAY FOLkS!!
Cool pic Mark, wishing you and all our Guardians a very happy Sunday
