Hi Dave, I watched your Saturday shave video on YouTube. I find your shaves very calming and soothing- you remind me of the Friendly Giant, it was a kids show on tv when I was growing up.    

Good comment on the Semogue 1305. I make sure when I soak mine that I keep the water level well below the handle. It’s over 10 years old and the only paint chip it has is on the top of the handle from a drop on a tile floor.   I sanded it smooth and it’s fine. The paint is pretty thick and durable but obviously if you continually get water in underneath the paint layer either through excessive soaking or through chips or cracks in the paint, the wood will swell and contract with the wet and dry cycling and no finish can withstand that for long. Keep up the great shaves!

I had to Google the friendly giant, that's funny. Thanks Mark and I hope you and yours are doing well or I should say as well as can be expected. Missing you around as often but figured you're busy with hopefully good things in life more than bad things. Take care my friend!
