I've been with TPG for the internet for a very long time now and they've been great. Unfortunately, now they have decided not to handle email addresses anymore and have passed it onto another company. I'm waiting for the new company to start charging for TPGs email addresses then I'm going with someone else.Bloody stupid Optus, thanks bloody goodness for TPG
OT:- Never used TPG email, as I have two different emails, Gmail for everyday use and ICloud for private enterprise or family’s use.I've been with TPG for the internet for a very long time now and they've been great.

I don't see why I should pay one company for the internet and then another company to keep a TPG email address.
What a beautiful brush. It looks even better with a knot in it now!SOTD – Thu 9 Nov 2023

Nice bit of nostalgia to integrate with your daily shaving routineFeatured is my new TroyCraft Custom brush that I’ve called “Double.D” as the design is a modern take on the vintage Rubberset “Dubl Duck No.4” brush, I wanted a reminder of simpler times and watching my Dad shave with Old Spice soap.
Yeah I feel a definite sense of Nostalgia when I use such "old style" brushes and Troy made this one exactly how I wanted. It's a very comfortable handle to use, the Boti knot is quite good as well just needs a bit more "aging".Nice bit of nostalgia to integrate with your daily shaving routine
The brush is awesome, thank you for your work on this handle, it could not be more perfect to my specifications. Love the sense of history I get from this handle, the knot does need a bit more "breaking-in" but it's feels good on the face already.What a beautiful brush. It looks even better with a knot in it now!
Wow. That explains a lot. Thanks.Australia had a major internet outage for about 14 hours yesterday.
Nice to see an enigmatic Mona Lisa smile on one of your blades07 November
Stiz "Utro" ⅝ straight razor from Russia.
This is my "happiest" SR that is perfect as the edge smile matches the hone-wear smile.
In my to-do box. I have a similar one by C.W. Dahlgren from the late 1880s. Not in such good condition as yours but still very shavable.I purchased this Johann Engström faux frameback for $19 back in April. It's been sitting in a drawer since then. Yesterday I stopped procrastinating and spent a bit of time repairing the point, cleaning it up somewhat, setting a bevel, running it over a progression of stones and finishing on a Naniwa 12000. This morning I was treated to a two-pass + touchup BBS shave.
Razor: Johann Engström faux frameback (razors were produced 1874-1917)
Brush: Boti 26/60 Boar
Cream: Palmolive (Italy)
