    So tonight was another shave, and maybe the last for the Gillette Nacet blade. But not a huge loss, as I recently got an influx of fine Russian steel (though how fine the jury is still out). The TSD Gunsmoke lathered well, but really no scent to it. And the badger scent on the brush is fading, so no complaints there. One cut on my first pass (WTG), a couple on the second (XTG), and one when I was touching up. Overall a pretty good shave though.

    The alum only burned under the jaw, but considering this is where I make repeated passes it is to be expected. Fairly calm everywhere else. So I'm happy.

    I'll take that beautiful razor off his hands to protect him. Happy to help.

    Ok, I'm going to say this in spite of the fact I know I'm effectively setting a trap, jinx, bomb, whatever out in front of me. This was, in my opinion, the best shave I've done with a pain stick. Ever. It was too easy, in fact. Makes me wonder what's in store for me the next time I use it. Smooth, effective. two passes for a DFS on a wonderfully slick and protective lather. It really is hard to imagine it going any better. The past two shaves have both been almost automatic. I'm thinking when this string of luck breaks it might break with major injury. Or else I'm just that good. Yeah, well, I can always dream, right?

    I love my Old Style but.....it will bite. Stay on the cap as much as possible and use a milder blade to start. I almost sold mine before I got it worked out.

    There is absolutely nothing wrong with owning a pink razor. Lots of women have them. So there!

    That right there is the funniest thing I read tonight. Blew coffee all over the place. (I had read back enough earlier to kinda get the gist of it) I require a "put the coffee down" memo before statements like this. THE MEMO MAN....WHERE WAS THE MEMO!!!

    I'll fill out the TPS report requesting the memo forms, then we'll send a memo concerning the proper format to put the memo in. At that point I'll be able to get the memo out that there will be a memo the next time.

    Be sure to file properly this time. The pink copies go to Accounting, the fuchshia ones go to Purchasing, and the goldenrod ones go to Roz. Leave the puce.

    Wait.....so the pink copies to Accounting, Fuschia to Purchasing and Roz gets the goldenrod. I thought Roz got the pink and Accounting the goldenrod and the puce was filed under the green TPS label in the second file drawer on the left.
