    Don't I know it. Keeping him in clothes longer then 2 weeks is challenging.

    Me too! I'd never used them but thought 'what the heck' for that price. I believe you planted that bug by showing everyone pictures of your $3 tubs of TFS soaps... Buying a 100 pack blind should never be a great idea, but I got lucky and they're working out very well for me. The problem is, if I go back to re-order, I'll have to buy a bunch of other stuff to justify the shipping :sad027:

    The General is a great razor. I have the brass version and found it to work well with both the Feather Pro and Super Pro. With the regular Feather Pro it is one of the smoothest razors I have ever used.

    I actually ordered 2 matching handles but gave the other, with a Tuxedo knot, to my brother for his wedding. I figured he needed to start his wet shaving journey off right.

    I did think maybe I was being actively surveilled, but the guy who has been working on the power pole at my house for the last three weeks finally finished up and started on my neighbor's. I know because I can see that one from my living room.

    Love seeing the kid, Andrew. He is obviously a happy child.

    I love Nacets. One of my top three, in no particular order, favorites. In fact, I have just gotten my inspiration for the day. Thanks!

    You get one cookie of your choice for each item you finished up. Choose well.

    On my IPad, my only complaint about the browser is simply trying to post photos. I have played with the mobile, (on it now) and really don't like it. If Tapa were to go away, I would just become one of those guys who doesn't post pics very often. I doubt I would ever visit from my phone, it is just too small to really enjoy.

    I look forward to seeing which blades you prefer. I did similar tests and it will be interesting to see what you think.

    I close out of Tappa and just use the Safari browser on my cell. Shortcut for sizing pictures: Take a screen grab of the picture you want, and crop it. Takes about 15 seconds, and will be sized right to post.

    Another thing you can do is email the picture to yourself. An iPhone will let you choose the size of the image you want to send. When I download it, it is sized correctly to post but can still be edited, given effects, etc. The 'large' size is still very detailed. The 'actual size' will not post.
    The only issue I have with posting pictures using a browser and not tapatalk is that I cannot seem to put pictures on PMs. I end up emailing pics when needing them in private messages.
