    NCoxSTL AAACK!

    Ok, so maybe I should use TPMS for that. Because I don't want to fill out TPS reports. I won't fill out TPS reports. I still have a stack of TPS reports due for the main office in Moscow - and they want them all in TRIPLICATE!!! :angry032:

    Sorry I'm a bit late in the game. After 3 years absence I'm back to SR/DE shaving.

    This month is all about rebuilding the habit. I'm using an R41, Feather blades and Trumper's Sandalwood shaving cream, Trumper badger hair brush and Trumper Sandalwood skin food.

    Thursday was my first shave, which was rough. Mainly because 3 years ago I swapped the R41 head to reveal more blade and forgot about it.

    Sorted that so today was my first proper shave. All went according to plan. WTG, ATG and XTG in a few places and a bit of touch up. 5 hours later and I'm still touching my face and smiling. That is a good feeling.

    Maya and I made it back in last night. She has gone to the doctor with a swollen and sore throat. At least we were able to accomplish what needed to be done in Lexington. I decided to move Nuàvia up a day from Sunday to Saturday in the routine. The Shavemac D01 3 band is an intense little brush. It has more scritch than my D01 2 band. However the 3 band has improved the more I use the brush. Three passes and touch ups left me with a near perfect shave. I hope everyone has a great Saturday.

    Adam, congrats on snagging your birth quarter razor! If I knew you wanted a '77 Gillette, I could have picked you up a new one when I was in High School. :D
