Cool but not too bad. Spring is coming and you can feel it. I was still in my PJs when I took this shot this morning. That's the good thing about an acreage, the neighbors are close enough to know I'm nuts but not close enough to know I'm certifiable.:ROFLMAO:
This Robyn Bloom bowl is the best match for Bernard given it's a reasonably large brush. If I really want warm lather with this bowl I simply float it in the basin with warm water.:)

Snow is coming our way this weekend so stick to the PJs. I float my lathering bowl the same way in the water I use for my hot towel. I’ve got a large HG on the way so I’m hoping to use it before it gets warm outside.

Lets get right to that brush!! appearance is stunning but just as important is how it felt in my hand.. perfect and so comfortable, this is certainly the most comfortable brush i have by far. As soon as I started building a lather on my face I felt pure luxury, its such a soft brush and is also very dense. Without a doubt the brush brought a new level of joy to the face lathering process.. I cant wait to get move shaves under the belt with this amazing brush 😊

The blades? Mmmm yeah, after the first shave it went in the bin. How on earth can these be nearly a dollar a blade? I did not find them sharp and they were also a bit rough, what I had heard on the forums about these was true, for me anyway

Merkur Blades, good for disecting pigeons.

I also never had much luck with them.

Have you tried pigeons shepherd pie in UK, I’m not joking about it, taste a little bit like turkey and a bit more towards chicken.

No, never had pigeons intentionally that I am aware of. Although living in China for several years I had been very suspicious when the chicken just looked a little small, and didn't taste right.
