February 2018 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Rick... that’s the worst song. Ever.

And now I can’t get it out of my head.

Who’s got the Brain Bleach?

 

Gillette Ball End Old Type
Astra
Zenith Boar
Jeeves Bay Rum
Jeeves Black Tea AS

This may have been my best shave ever. Everything clicked and worked together. I always get great results with this razor. I tend to get my closest shaves with it. The Jeeves is fantastic soap and the aftershave feels great as well. The last time my face was this soft and smooth I was in elementary school.

Outstanding! Remember the ingredients for this one.

 

Troy, if you figure out how to make an avatar take an animated Gif file, there will be a revolution in dancing baloney pictures. If you are inspired to use Weebl's cartoon, please do!

 

So @Keithmax , are you attending any of the games?

February 9 - A week with Williams. Day 1

Razor - Gem MMOC
Blade - ASR Carbon - CVS (1)
Soap - Williams
Brush - Omega 10066 The BoS
Post - Alum

Well, I promised Fuzzy I'd give Williams a week of shaves since he helped me out with the blade issue. I'm a Czar of my word. I stowed the Stirling away for the next 7 days and pulled the Williams out of the back corner of the cabinet. I actually summoned it with the Accio spell since I had tried my best to hide it. I took it out of its secure metal container, breaking the security seal following the required notification to the St. Charles County haz-mat team. With that done and the Williams in place in my VDH bowl, I chose the Omega boar, 10066 brush (known as the Brush of Shame since it's why I broke a NB July a couple years ago) and got set to shave.

New blade in the OCMM and I took a deep breath, looked longingly at my cabinet of Stirling, Route 66, Oleo, Jeeves, MWF and Tabac (did I mention the enablers around here were brutal last year?) and a few others odds and ends and wet the Williams puck, left the brush fairly wet and went to work loading. It didn't take long for the bowl to fill with a lather like substance. Actually looked pretty good, just those bigger bubbles I get with Williams, and I loaded the brush hard. Lathered my face and grabbed the razor.

My usual experience with Williams is a very fast dissipating lather, though it does remain slick enough to shave with if you hurry. Tonight I was a bit pleased to see the lather, thin though it was, hanging around for the full pass. And, the pass was super smooth and seemed slick enough. Definitely not bad. Lathered up for the second pass and while the soap thinned out a bit more than the first pass I still made it through the pass without losing it all. No nicks, cuts, weepers. Near-BBS result with the new blade and the alum remained mostly quiet.

I squeezed the brush out and got a partial handful of bubbles. But hey, I got the shave in and it was comfortable and effective. Definition of what a soap is supposed to do, right? We'll see if I can improve over the next week and come up with something I never expected. A rave about the high quality of Williams. Odds anyone?

Turns out that in XenForo, it requires imagemagick and php5-imagick. (the imagemagick php plugin for apache)

Then, you have to make it the Default Image Processor in the ACP -> Options -> Attatchments page.

Then, when the gif is 'resized', it should be fully processed, rather than simply taking the first frame of the gif and making it the avatar.

 

Yeah, professor, but what if the Turbo Encabulator in your Abacus 286 is on the blink?

 

Then you have to be sure to properly whizbang your dumaflodget. Once you've done that, then your flux capacitor should come up to speed.

 

I've had a lot of Epihanots. More than I care to remember. Which is why I can't name one off the top of my head.

 

No, you receive a medal. And a lifetime subscription to the 30DC thread.

 

I need to diagram that sentence.

Woooooooooooo!

Other than that...all is quiet in Colorado!

Have a great weekend!

I saw the word "Magic" at least three times.

I'm guessing this requires either sacrificing a number of medium sized farm animals, or purchasing copyrighted software to the tune of $not going to happen.

 

(...let's see "deliberately" modifies bought, but in usage it modifies case...my head hurts)


Nothing is real anymore.

 

No animals larger than a prairie hen, and the software is free (as in beer).
