And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Shave of the Day
Colorado Designs two band badger brush, Turtleship Lime soap, WCS 84B razor with an Astra blade, Proraso green aftershave.
Two nice passes and a fine shave.
The Turtleship really produced a great aromatic lather this morning. Very enjoyable.
I've got a few, but with the LT staying here a couple weeks, he added his stuff to mine and voila! Vintage straight razors are actually pretty reasonable on sites like etsy or ebay. You can spend a lot, or a little, what ever you feel like. The soaps are cheap and a tub lasts forever. One of my favorite brushes is a nine dollar model from Omega. It's a fun hobby and really not that costly, unless you want it to be,
Love the shaving posts...I've been a safety razor shaver for a few years (being cheap and rejecting the cartridge is so much better). You are motivating me to be daring and go straight!
I'm jealous -- it looks like you must have about 20 different brushes, at least a dozen razors, and a foot locker of different soaps!
