Excuse me while I speak to my “yesterday self” for a moment... “Hey idiot, when you post about keeping your blade too long and getting weepers CHANGE OUT THE BLADE. Do not suffer through 3 passes that require you to take out the steptic pencil to stop the bleeding before removing the rusty blade. By the way, are your tetanus shots up to date?

P.S. Don’t forget to thank @SharptoothC for the balm sample he sent. I know you’re not a balm guy, but it may be useful today. Trust me on this one.”

Now back to regularly scheduled programming...

Even if the shave goes south, at least there are cookies.


You got the ones that @NCoxSTL sent everyone, right?

Well, I will keep my shavettes -- as a member of the Board of Hoarders, Inc. I believe I am required to keep everything shave-related that falls into my grubby paws anyway. And I will haul them out again for MayHem if nothing else.

You know, I never get cartel cookies and Natasha seems to be putting on weight. Coincidence?

The 30 DC will accept all Official Gripe Reports. Feel free to share any time. I know it's a weird world out there. Just can't see it from my house.

Conquered and tossed aside. Like a Boss!

I humbly decline the nomination to VP of Brush Division, and nominate @Boojum1 for the position.

I do not remember, did you have the 8 before you bought the 12?

That is such a stunning brush handle.

I hope you enjoy the ride. Spring is such a nice time to get out.

Nearing the end of the first quarter, and I think I am gonna have to put my money on you for the soap killing championship.

The bloom on those 26 mm brushes is pretty insane, isn’t it? Great shave.

You win Sunday, and it's only noon.

Carry on.

It helps that I had a few soaps that were partially used. I just needed motivation to work through them. It will be nice to actually have space in my drawer again.

Magnificent, thank you for sharing. May also say she looks terrific with blue hair.

With an invite to have lunch, I pulled off a daring Next Day Shave. Not my normal every other day schedule. Might be some ladies to chat with so I went Old Skool. The soap performed up to par in that classic scent. Brush did what it does best - perfect lather applied so soft all I felt was the lather. Still had the alternate Japanese blade loaded. I'm impressed the the apparent thickness of the steel and it's holding it's edge. Three light passes & little clean up left me DFS+. Skipped the alum and went straight to the AS. Wondering what's for grub now.
Good Shaves Y'all!

Insane is a good adjective. It seems to keep getting larger. I don't think it would be a good bowl brush but it will whip up a fantastic face lather. It's super soft and although it lacks the backbone more expansive brushes have, it's a great value for $40.
