Dave wins the internet today!! Those posts are great photos and humorous as well. Watermelon against the cold temps, love it! And how you got the shaving lather on the dressed up boar is too cool for school. Well done!

Agreed MaineYooper!

What the heck? Pigs don’t have claws they have (cloven) hooves. What kind of pigs are you guys raising down there?

I think they've been messing around with the Badgers Sneek peek at tomorrow's shave coming and I'll edit it after the shave in the morning

Badger Knot in a Lutin Lightning Brush and Shave MD Ginger Ale Scented Soap by Ethos (Hence the 1 picture). Wonderful shave this morning. It was my 1st use of a Vintage blade from some that Vesper generously pif'd to try as Wizamet is my preferred blade. These are Vintage made in Poland blades. They state Polsilver but have the Wizamet logo on them so they may be when transitioning or the W was always a part of the company. I used my 921 Yates "H" plate and admittedly it's been awhile since grabbing this razor and so I want to use this blade in a better known razor before final thoughts. Initial thoughts are it is as expected as smooth as can be. It's sharp enough to do a great job but not sure if as sharp as my current Wizamets. That said, it may have been the razor I used as it does use a different angle than most and that's why I want to try it in other razors first. Again my thanks to Vesper and an enjoyable shave for sure. The smoothness I felt is exactly what my 1st shave with a Wizamet felt like on it's first stroke when I initially tried them and that's what had me stock up on them several years ago. Have a great day everyone and weekend !

I'm dense, trying to get the connection

It was a bit of a stream-of-consciousness/non sequiter. The striped ginger ale-sipping badger triggered Pepe Le Pieu in my warped imagination.

The two are quite similar... trying to find the details, but I believe they are "cousins" in scientific classification and originally thought to be of the same family (brothers?). This is of course all from a quick Google search, so take it with a grain of Salt.

Nonetheless, I can absolutely see why you'd make that leap.

EDIT: Nope, not so much related, it seems. Just a case of science changing it's mind. Lol. Reminds me of this meme, for some reason...
