    Wow. I have no words. Fortunately for me, Peaches has a lot of them, so on average we’re still ahead of the game. Unfortunately for her, she strings them together in a such nonsensical order that I can only handle about a minute and a half before I give up. Cute only gets you so far.

    Favorite February

    February 21 - A week with Tabac - Day 1

    Razor - Gem MMOC
    Blade - [​IMG] ASR Carbon - CVS (2)
    Soap - Tabac
    Brush - Wolf Whiskers Custom Silvertip
    Post - Alum

    After five days of a week with the Fat I'm switching to Tabac for day one of its week. Yes, I still owe the Fat 2 days. I won't forget. There is a method to my madness. Or else my madness is just my method. Whichever is easier to understand or ignore, your choice.

    Fine two pass and touch up shave tonight. We went out to dinner when I got off work and I had a fine rack of ribs and my wife had a marvelous Sirloin steak nice and rare. I nearly passed on shaving but decided I had to stay committed to 30 days. I'm glad I did. The Wolf and Tabac provided a magnificent lather and I kept my attention on the razor. Near-BBS with no issues and quiet alum was the reward and it was well worth it.

    The weekend is finally here. Mine, anyway. I'm ready for it. I had reached the point of actually being quite angry that people would open the door at work today. How dare they think they should buy a bed. Seriously. Two days off should put me back in the right frame of mind. Big sales tend to make me a little cranky.

    FAVuary can include some no shave phases. If that's the favorite of the day then so be it.

    I will break out a real SR and some "fancy" soap tomorrow.

    Truthfully, I feel a little sorry for dear Ms Peaches (unless this is an act). Reminds me of a young lady I knew many years ago that developed a brain chemical imbalance because some dimwit thought it was okay to administer excessive amounts of angel dust to a juvenile just to gain certain favors. She could have made videos just like these when she missed her meds.

    Synthetics have become my main brush type in spite of me saying I'd never leave the naturals. Tradition and all that. Synthetics just make life too easy and use less soap and all that. I still love my naturals but synthetics outnumber them now in my den.

    I showed that video to some of my Korean friends with sufficent English skills, after five minutes of unbroken laughter one of them turns to the other: ‘I told you that was a dude!’ Apparently it is universal.

    The half life of what she is taking is amazing or those are some vicious flashbacks or baby she was born that way. I’m still of the opinion she should share.

    Another warm day here in Atlanta with many areas expected to reach 80 F. Accordingly another cooling shave in order with CO Bigelow answering the call. Three passes and touch ups ended with me just missing the baby. A splash of Fine Platinum and I think I am ready for the day. I hope everyone has a great Thursday.

    Excellent photo Clint!!
    The C.O. Bigelow is pretty decent stuff. Do you happen to know, is it the exact same as "regular" Proraso, or is there a slight difference?
