I admit to very little patience with a shedding knot but i gave a lot of latitude to this one and it just isn't enjoyable. Guy in the irror is the only one I need to please. If Dave ain't happy ..........out it goes  Big Grin Come to think of it a plaque  "NO Shedding Allowed" would be a cool addition to the den. May need to get one.........

If you find a No Shedding plaque, let me know.  
I’ll post one at a lower level on the wall for my golden retriever.

A quick Google search shows it will need to be a custom printed one.....

Razor: Wilkinson Empire Model/Ever Ready 1914
Blade: Wilkinson Wedge (?)/Gem (2)
Brush: Rubberset 400/Oumo Boar
Soap: Baron's Choice 1508.5 Project
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: Aqua Velva
Fragrance: n/a
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 936

So I decided to give the Empire recently acquired a shave. The wedge looked/felt shave ready. I disinfected but I didn't strop it and had a decent 2 passes with it. A little tuggy so stropping may help or it may need a refresh on hones and stropping. I decided it wasn't up to the 3rd pass atg so finished with the 1914 which was buttery smooth. Really enjoyed the Wilkinson Empire and looking forward to getting it shave readier for future shaves. Still 1 unopened Wedge Blade in the box too. Have a fun day Everyone !!

Yesterday involved a morning of secular work and home by noon to drop a tree by myself for the Outlaw (FIL) It involved a good size Mulberry tree with 3 sides we couldn't drop towards due to Electrical Wires, a Cherry Tree and a carport. Trunk forked so 2 decent size drops. It involved, a ladder, ropes and my truck. I won and the tree lost with no collateral damage but I did get a good rope burn on my right forefinger. Hey man, that's my shaving hand...........STELLAR shave this morning and off to work. Have a great day Everyone !
