    Favorite February

    February 22 - A week with Tabac - Day 2

    Razor - Gem MMOC
    Blade - [​IMG] ASR Carbon - CVS (3)
    Soap - Tabac
    Brush - Jayaruh #54
    Post - Alum

    Head shave night and all went well there. Just the usual Merkur 23c w/ Arko for the win. No issues. On to the regular shave and it's day two of Tabac. Used the JR54 brush to get the quick and easy lather and did a full three passes. Very smooth shave from the OCMM and Carbon blade on its third day. WTG, XTG, ATG and no issues and the alum remained nearly silent. I'm beginning to think of this razor a bit like riding a horse. This thing knows how to do its job and can do it well if you just "give it its head" and let it go. Keep it aimed in the right direction and let it glide and you end up with a great BBS like tonight.

    Off again tomorrow and I'll be at the eye doctor in the afternoon for a bit. Time for new contacts. And there's a package waiting for me from the Motherland at the P.O. to pick up so I'll be swinging by there. I can smell the steel from here.

    Have a great Friday tomorrow!

    I feel bad for him. Here Boraat finds out his blood pressure medication is on a doping list he didn’t even know pertained to him. He figured since it is a curling requirement to be legally drunk while playing, they certainly weren’t checking his prescription meds.

    The whole team is from MN, except a couple of them who are from WI. We let them on the team cause they get the better deals on the beer.

    In Canada, anyone who brings beer is on the team by default.. actually if you bring any kind of liquor you make the team . Whomever roars the loudest is then promoted to skip.

    I’ll be praying for Ms. Chick. I hope you arrive home to find she is fully recovered.

    Thank you all! I appreciate the well wishes. I got home to a very sore wife. She is bruised and may have some sprains. We are going to see how she feels in the morning before going to a Doctor. She is sleeping now. It’s good to be home

    What a week. I am glad that it is Friday and more importantly it is my wife's birthday. Even Asha is coming back in from Tuscaloosa today will make my wife's day. I continue to enjoy the Jeeves Bay Rum soap. After whipping up a rich slick lather I went with a traditional 3 pass shave followed by touch ups along my jawline and neck left me with the baby in sight. I decided to buff my lower right neck and caught the little guy. A splash of Krampert's and I am ready for the day. I hope everyone has a great Friday.

    Glad you made it home safe & sound, Brian! Hopefully she feels better when she wakes up, and doesn't require a doctor's care.

    Used some Stirling Almond Creme AS this morning and it lit me up and turned my face red. Had to wash it off and replace it with B&M Latha AS. I have several Stirling AS’s that don’t cause reactions. This one was a sample I’d used before, and didn’t have this kind of reaction to. Weird.

    Thanks Andrew. I finished 20 rounds of radiation therapy. I have had 2 chemotherapy treatments, which I might add are kicking my butt. :)

    I may try and shave my head today, so I can use some of the products I received from Alex of Russia.

    Yeah, no. On the bright side I now know how those Nazis at the end of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" felt, but I'm still here and not in need of plastic surgery. So there is that. The sample is now in the PIF basket and will likely end up as a bonus to someone's shavey award. Assuming they are brave enough to go there.
