This was my first shave since last Thursday, and was my planned Friday shave. I definitely feel better having shaved the three days work of stubble off, and like most shaves after a break, it was a great shave. The soap was slick, scent was great, and the razor just mowed 'em down. It was an easy DFS.

At some point, I will be doing a straight, as @DaltonGang was kind enough to hone a razor for me. Unfortunately, finding some quality shaving time is proving to be complicated while on vacation. I hope everyone is having a great day!

 

Thanks guys! I appreciate the good words!

 

Just 3 more days?!?!?! Congratulations

 

Thanks Keith. It's hard to believe.

 

I am two to three years from retirement.... I hope. My woman asked me what I will do when I retire and I told her 'I will walk the earth like Caine for one year.'

 

Doug, great setup and festive photos!

 

Congrats Keith! Those three years will pass like lightning. Will you stay in Korea after retirement?

 

Decadent December. Decided to pull out the Route 66 for another shave before moving on to a new soap to focus on.

Pulled out my big Rooney and my PRC Kami for todays decadent shave. The lather was awesome and the edge very sharp. Did my four passes and finished with zero blood loss, zero irritation and BBS. I hope all my TSD brothers are enjoying your holidays as I am back in the office.

Irritation A+ Closeness A Smoothness A Sharpness A+

 

Yes I will. I have permanent residence and own an apartment here. If I move it would waste all those years learning Korean. I plan to travel more once I retire and maybe spend 1 or 2 months in different locations through out the year.

 

Thanks very much Charlie.

 

Thank you my friend.

 

Jim, great set up! I always enjoy your photos and seeing how they're composed. You, Doug, and Neal are motivating me to use my Slim. I bet it was fun to mow down three days of growth.

Keep having fun with the family this week. I hope everyone is on the mend!

 

Thanks very much.

 

Congratulation to you and your wife Charlie. I have nothing but positive feeling about your retirement. I'm sure you will enjoy every moment of your time. The only difficulty I had was that my wife was home all the time.

 

I hope you are Able Keith!

 

Doug, thanks for the encouraging words. It seems that you enjoy a very active and fun retirement. Now I know why you hike through the woods so much...you are hiding from your Bride.

 

You know me so well.
