    NCoxSTL AAACK!

    Only for those not chosen. For the elite it's the essence of the gods.

    It smells like winning. Unless you're not a winner.

    Yeah, Yeah. Everybody tries to point out that John Wayne, Steve McQueen, and Napoleon used that stuff. They just don't tell you none of them actually wore it. They sprinkled it on their lawns to keep the neighborhood kids away.

    It's OK to not be chosen. It's just more OK to be chosen.

    The trouble is, the chosen only think they are. The rest of us know.

    I know someone who is getting a big bottle of The Veg for Christmas from yours truly.... :D

    Thank you for confirming our wisdom in discernment. Being chosen is a serious consideration. Many have doubt at first, but if the majority know we are chosen, then it must indeed be so.

    If we could only hire a crop duster, and time up the raid. He uses a riding tractor to mow his acreage. Epic prank.

    (disclaimer: this is a joke. Don't spray Veg from a crop duster. Or do. But it's probably gonna cause trouble.)

    From the picture, it looks like a standard DE head turned 90 degrees. Certainly can't be worse than Soyuz 1, particularly if you can adapt pain stick muscle memory to "riding the cap".

    Since it is a Japanese razor.... Got any Feather DE blades? :)

    June Focus Day 13:

    Stirling Synthetic Brush
    Arko
    Injector Type J
    Stirling Unscented PSB
    Brut Classic

    We'll, I completely slept through my alarm today, so I had to pull out an all time record shave. It was easily less than 5 minutes for a very quick one pass just to get SAS. That meant grabbing and automatic razor, which is officially the Type J for me. Not quite as smooth as I normally get, as I jumped straight to am XTG pass, and I have over 10 shaves on this blade, but it worked. Could have been much worse, so I'll chalk it up as a win with all things considered. I hope everyone has a great day.
