    Steve-

    As you complete your palm stropping procedure and move the blade to the next razor, do you avoid flipping the blade or pay it no mind?

    Thank you Keith. It’s a beautiful property that will give me some great photo ops. I’ll post a few after I move.

    Thank you Gentlemen!
    Bruce - I haven't found a Fat Boy recently, but early in my RAD days I gathered near 10 or a dozen of them. The one I am using is an E4 1959, same as Neal's. Every time I'd get another one I'd do a side by side shave. I always kept the first one I bought and traded the other. When I did that with the one Neal is using I mixed them up. Same quarter & year, about the same condition, and they shaved the same. So either he has my Fat Boy or it's Clone. The one I call my own I bought for five bucks from a small antiques shop next town west of here. The guy running the booth is the Mayor of another smaller town (Vinton) just west of that little town (Sulphur). I did visit that same shop last week. Someone cleaned out his razors - six of them - the day before I was there.

    If she's not ready to try a razor, buy her some shave soap in a scent that compliments her favorite perfume. Small steps...

    Three-D full contact gaming! I've never participated, but I've seen folks in public parks whacking each other with foam padded swords. Looks painful, but fun.

    Jared, some of these new 30 DC members haven't been exposed to our predilection of Seasoned Ladies. I'm not sure they can appreciate the way we do.

    And wow. Glad they shortened those sticks. Looks like a painful accident waiting to happen. I don't think there were any young men participating in that activity.

    Thanks Jim. We plan to move a handful of miles west, though not enough to detect a significant increase in potato production per square mile. :)

    I am so pleased to see another work week in the books. The little Ever Ready lacks the backbone and scrub but remains a joy to use face lathering. The herbal lavender scent of MdC opens up while lathering and seems to add a relaxing quality to the experience. Three passes and touch ups ended in another automatic near perfect shave. I can say that the modified Gem does not shave as close as the Feather FHS but last 50-100% longer. I went with a splash of Fine Lavender to keep the theme going. I hope everyone as a Fantastic Friday.

    Congrats Neal on getting to FINALLY try out a Toggle - and a beautiful one at that! Guess you can scratch that of the "bucket list now". Kudos to @LOOT for making it happen!
