Shaved late today because I was busy finishing up my model airplane. I took it to the field and had two great flights with it. It was a little windy for a maiden flight, but I decided to go for it anyway. It flies great!

The MMOC was a dream today. Super comfortable and efficient. I ordered one from VisceralWatch so I can give it to a friend of mine at the meetup this weekend. He has never used a GEM before.

That's awesome! It also looks quite large from this angle.

How do you transport it? Does it fit in a car?

It has about a 6.6 foot wingspan, and it's about 6' from spinner to tail.

The wings come off for transport, and the fuselage fits just barely in my car :-)

Not even close! But not for lack of trying.

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

This was my first use of Draconis Noctem. Great soap base, as always, and this scent (with sandalwood, whiskey, tobacco, vanilla, oud, etc.) is right in my wheelhouse.

1st pass WTG, 2nd pass WTG. Over all a pretty good shave, but I think I overdid it on the water.

I have really been enjoying this brush now that my bowl is an appropriate size. It does take a lot more soap than the synthetic brushes I have, but I'm thinking it's worth it as the natural fibers speak to my granola soul 😆
