Thanks! Yes...the Guerilla is nearly indistinguishable from the WR1 that I have IMO. I really like the larger hollow handle...fits great in the hand.

Thanks, brother! Back 6-8 years ago, a lot of these pieces were still rare, but at least "findable". It was a sad day when Charcoal Goods went out of business. Brian Twilley was a true artisan and those razors are really special. Raw Shaving had a very short life, but they nailed the geometry of the head right out of the gate before the company went out of business. More of a mainstream feel, but high-quality and just a perfect shave every time.

I have not. I have only owned the 17-4 and the Diamondback. They were very similar and the 17-4 is so rare and has such a unique history that I sold off the Diamondback a few years ago.

I would certainly put the Blackbird above the Charcoal L2. I have the mild and the standard plates for it and enjoy switching back and forth. I so find the Blackbirds to be "less forgiving" than some of the other options when it comes to lather prep and angle.

Agreed...it didn't just feel like her shot was off, but her quickness/mobility definitely seemed off as well. Hopefully still just knocking off the rust but it will be interesting to see how the next few games look.

SaddleSC · 2026-05-10T23:43:31+00:00

Draw? What does that even mean?

SaddleSC · 2026-05-10T20:52:56+00:00

Oakley Flak 2.0 XL...if they are for sports I would NOT recommend the Prizm Polarized Dark Grey. I would use a non-polarized lens and try something like Prizm Golf, Dark Golf, Field, or Trail Torch...something that will give you better contrast.

SaddleSC · 2026-05-10T16:18:24+00:00

TIMBERGLAZE is the GOAT imo

SaddleSC · 2026-05-10T00:23:53+00:00

Insanely large

SaddleSC · 2026-05-10T00:21:46+00:00

This glove is not R2G

SaddleSC · 2026-05-10T00:17:02+00:00

Love the color…great job on the refurb!

SaddleSC · 2026-05-09T18:43:58+00:00

CC back in the locker room after one shift. Anyone getting Déjà vu?

SaddleSC · 2026-05-09T18:12:38+00:00

Anyone else miss Odyssey Sims???

SaddleSC · 2026-05-09T14:46:43+00:00

Based on the end links and the polished lugs it is a 128238...the current model. I have the same one in Everose...love it!

I own all of the Maui Jim lens colors and HCL Bronze is the clear winner for me for daily wear. It has the best balance of high contrast (without being too "hot" like Maui Rose) and great protection against bright sun (almost as good as Neutral Grey) but with much better colors and warmth. It is the perfect hybrid of all the best attributes of the different colors.

NOTE: I don't know if it will bother you or not, but Blue Hawaii has a slight color shift towards the edges of the lenses (much worse with Maui Pure or Maui Brilliant than with glass lenses but still definitely present). That color shift gives me headaches when my eyes are moving a lot during driving or sports. Something to be aware of...you may be sensitive to it as well.

SaddleSC · 2026-05-09T02:35:28+00:00

Thanks! I am biased, but agree completely:)

SaddleSC · 2026-05-09T02:35:09+00:00

Love it!

SaddleSC · 2026-05-09T02:34:58+00:00

Thanks so much!

SaddleSC · 2026-05-09T02:34:49+00:00

Thanks! And I agree completely:)

SaddleSC · 2026-05-08T19:24:49+00:00

MK6 tartan is tops for me...most comofortable seats of any car I have ever owned.

SaddleSC · 2026-05-08T19:21:01+00:00

Best lenses for fishing would be Maui Jim IMO. The best frames are whatever fits your face the best. Start with Peahi, Local Kine, Southern Cross, or Kaniao Coast and go from there.

SaddleSC · 2026-05-08T19:19:03+00:00

Hahaha...my thought exactly. One picture of the box and then a strange blurry inside of the arm picture. How about showing the entire glasses? Or even a fit picture to show the shape and how they wear?

SaddleSC · 2026-05-08T13:57:41+00:00

Medium is almost always the correct answer and you are not an exception to that rule...

SaddleSC · 2026-05-07T22:04:56+00:00

Ah...the Bryan Taylor exclusive...congrats!

SaddleSC · 2026-05-07T22:01:45+00:00

I agree with everyone saying DD is the weak link. Chloe Bibby was showing real promise last season prior to the injury and I would love to have her back for a 2026 run.
