    October 6 - Fat Friday and otherwise totally unFocussed

    Brickell Face Scrub
    PAL adjustable injector / Personna (4?)
    Semogue Owners Club cherrywood boar brush
    Kent/MWF in wooden tub
    Alum and Lucky Tiger

    I decided to play it safe today because I plan to get my photo taken for my driver's license renewal. I don’t want to spend the next five years looking at a photo of me with scratches and blood spots on my face, so all my OC razors were out. I went with a now familiar injector loaded with a well-smoothed blade.

    I let both my boar brush and my MWF puck soak while I washed my face, then squeezed the brush nearly dry and went to work. Loading for twice as long as normal left the brush looking very heavily loaded with soap. I then bowl lathered with a palmful of water and got a good lather. I may actually be starting to learn the quirks of this new boar brush.

    Two passes with the injector got me from a hayfield to smooth skin without any nicks, weepers or irritation. Mr. Alum kept his mouth shut today and the Lucky Tiger gave me a nice orange finish to a pleasant shave.

    I am clean and smooth with a slim fighting chance of not having a horrible photo on my license for the next five years...

    Hope everyone has a good weekend!

    I'm glad you are getting a decent lather with your SOC Boar now, John!

    Very late to the party...but, sweet score!! Both look awesome! Can't say that I've heard of Joris either.

    I think the name you're looking for is Charlie...

    This is quite embarrassing. I communicated many times back and forth with Charlie setting up the brush project. I think I just need to focus on my next meeting and not trying to follow the thread for a few hours.
    Sorry, Charlie.

    Fantastic travel setup Jason. The New LC is a great razor.

    He just keeps getting cuter as he grows up. Thanks for posting the Friday photos.

    Congrats on getting the boar brush figured out. I bet its lathering ability improves as it gets more broken in.

    Long before I became a Mod I started a text file I named "TSD Intel". Mostly it's just User names and first names.

    How great first I have to worry about what the Feds have on me. Now I have to also worry about what the Mods here at TSD have on me too. Where is my tin foil hat?

    In all honesty though I may have to start a list of names also as I am bad with names. That's why I call everybody sir or ma'am..

    If THEY are watching you it's already too late. Be sure you're up on latest tin foil hat tech - you watch the reflection model, not the antenna type.
    My list is only to defeat EOA and for politeness during our conversations. No personal data beyond first names & occasionally a city if someone isn't CONUS. My PM's go pages deep from trading gear if I need a mailing address. Since I drive a 1986 Ranger it's not like I'd come knocking.

    Jason, I was just having some fun with you. All is OK. You just had a senior moment a few decades ahead of schedule. Have a great day and safe travels, my friend! :D

    I definitely deserve some ribbing for this one...you’re letting me off too easily!
