    NCoxSTL AAACK!

    And, of course, the cat thinks you can't see it since it's hidden in its "cave". I'd have to roll the bottle. Just once.

    Remove tadpoles? No, they'll climb out eventually. Like yeast in brewing. Or something.

    LOL, so you, me, and my kids all have the same twisted sense of humor? Ever spin a cat on a smooth floor? After several revolutions they quit trying to hang on. Then when they come to a stop - Zoom, generally on a curved path right into the wall. I got fussed at for teaching that one to the young 'uns.

    NCoxSTL AAACK!

    I have to confess I have been involved in a few sessions of "cat torture" over the years, though nothing that permanently harmed the furry lumps of attitude. I've also owned a cat or two who were quite adept at applying torture right back. Devious creatures those things.

    That's the key. Else you've slipped down that slope to Sociopathy.

    Growing up we had a Siamese that was quite vindictive. My brother has a mustache like Cheeeh Marin with a gap in the middle thanks to the furry little ball of love.

    The shaves this week have been consistently smooth and irritation free. The results have all been near BBS with no drama. I really can't ask for better. I hope everyone has a great Thursday.

    Listerine was marketed as a replacement for Lysol. Seriously, look it up. And we wonder what brought about feminism?

    Nice picture, Clint! It makes me want fall to come around (especially since it looks like it is going to be a hot summer).

    Thank you Jim. Our summer looks to be very brutal as well. I don't think we even had a real winter.

    March 30 (Thursday ) - odds and ends cleanup
    Supply Provision Single Edge injector on mild plate / Personna Injector (4)
    Supply Provision synthetic brush
    Red Dragon's homemade dragon's blood shaving soap
    Alum and Thayers Witch Hazel Aftershave

    When I added up my soap inventory yesterday, I left off the list 8 pucks of homemade soap I bought years ago from an eBayer who used to sell shaving supplies. IIRC his eBay name was RedDragon. I considered the pucks rather dubious and figured they would only be good for handsoap. However, I tried one today and it was excellent. The lather wasn't particularly foamy and the scent is now non-existent (not that I recall it ever being very strong), but the slip, glide and protection were all there when needed. The result was a good slick shave with no issues. It looks like I will have to add these pucks (2 each of bay rum, citrus, dragon's blood and sandalwood) into my soap inventory.

    The Supply Provision razor did my usual crisscross passes and an ATG cleanup pass for a DFS with no nicks, weepers or irritation and quiet alum. There was no burn either from the high alcohol content Thayers WH Aftershave.

    Hope everyone has a great Thursday. Based on the weather early this morning, it's going to be a beautiful day here.

    I have a pretty nice one along my jaw that probably could have used stitches. I was playing with the angle of the blade on the right side jawline, and put too much pressure at too high of an angle. About an inch long, and deep. It hurt a bunch, but fortunately I distracted myself on that shave. Everyone who shaves with a straight gets cuts. Worth it, IMHO. Shave on, brothers!
