    Thank you Doug. It will be nice to have her home for a few weeks. By the end of that time, she will be ready to leave and I might be ready to see her go. ;)

    Great composition catching the watch face reflection in the razor head. Bravo.

    :happy096: Wonderful set up and SOTD photo to celebrate your 1-year anniversary, Jason! Congratulations! I always enjoy hearing how folks found TSD and the 30DC.

    Safe travels today for work, my friend.

    So, you ARE running a little low? :D

    I got nuthin' on most of you guys. I only have a 100 pack of Astras, I split a 100 pack of Feathers with another guy, and I have some left of a sampler pack I got awhile back. It's almost hard not to get 100 packs. Take the Astras for example; Amazon currently has 100 packs for $9.62 and the 50 pack is $7.74. But, I reckon even if you do pay more per blade by getting the 50 pack, it's still WAY cheaper than cart refills! :)
    I'd still go for the 100 though...

    Beautiful photo and a decadent set up, Neal. It has been fun following your exploits with the Toggle. You're already in 8th and shifting into Neal tonight with a Feather blade. It doesn't get any better.

    Hmmm...just thinking of our 30DC brother @LOOT now...you better hang on to the Toggle through the New Year. None of us want to see it get lost among all the packages being sent this time of year. And then regarding January...you might want to delay its return until...mmm...good weather. We have to be extra careful to look for a suitable shipping window with all the global warming. There's always the chance of losing the Toggle enroute during the confusion of a brutal snow storm. Oh...and I think the Farmer's Almanac is calling for some crazy spring weather. (It always adds credibility to your argument when you cite reputable sources.) Right now, the first good window I see for returning it will be sometime in May after Derby festivities, of course. Call me if you want to talk about excuses...uh...the safest time frame to return the razor.

    Due to unique and unfortunate circumstances, it looks like you will have time after all to conduct back-to-back rules with the Toggle on every setting, in half steps of course, with all the DE blades in your arsenal. It would be a real shame just to let that baby sit around unused and unappreciated. dude.gif

    I'm sure @LOOT will rest easy knowing his Toggle will be safe and secure, and that it will be returned at the best possible time.

    Thanks Doug!

    Thanks Clint! I was hoping you'd notice. I searched everywhere to find this vintage watch for the photo. It's not like I can just go outside and find it in a bush or a tree limb. :happy102:

    I likely have a lot less blades than many folks on here. I buy a 100 pack of Feather DE blades each year. I keep on 20 pack each of Feather Pro and Feather Pro Super Artist Club blades for the General and Cobra. I bought a 100 pack of Gem blades and 80 Feather FHS blades. Even this amount will last me several years.
