    :happy093:I am out of Excel Hell. I got into my office early this morning and was able to get the last issue corrected. Now July financials are prepared for the consulting contract.

    I was up an Zero dark thirty this morning worried about getting the July closed and financials prepared. At least I was able to get a wonderful shave in before leaving the house. This lineup is comprised off straight forward items that just flat work. Mike's doesn't have the scent of the month or endless LE releases but each of his soaps work very well for me. The only downside is the soaps last forever. I did take the time for a traditional 3 pass shave that proved to be a drama free near perfect shave. A splash of Fine Fresh Vetiver left me feeling good and smelling nice. I hope everyone has a great Thursday.

    I honestly am considering leaving work for some tacos and a beer for lunch to celebrate on of life's small victories.

    Thank you Jim. Don't tell my wife, I've found another use for her place mats. :D

    August 9th
    Razor: Timeless .95 SC
    Blade: Wilkinson Sword (3)
    Brush: Yaqi High Mountain Silvertip
    Pre-shave: Stirling Mentholated
    Soap: B&M Reserve Cool
    Thayers Cucumber
    AS: B&M Reserve Cool

    Good morning!

    Great shave this morning! Two pass with touch up.

    If I didn't have such a large stash of blades the German Wilkinson Sword would definitely be a bulk purchase. Smooth and sharp. I have been going through my blade samples, generally three uses on each. There have been some real standouts so far.

    Have a great day!

    :happy088: Great shave. I had gotten down to 30 DE blades so I ordered 100 Feathers. That should be more than enough to see me through 2019

    Thank you Perry and Andrew. I decided to skip lunch and start a tax return. I think Maya and I will go out to dinner this evening.

    Awesome pic, Clint, and I’m glad to hear that things are going better at work!
    Your secret is safe about the placemats (I might have done that myself once or twice:innocent)
    Interesting that you use Feathers exclusively. How long have you done that for?
    You were down to 30 blades? That’s right about the same as Neal @NCoxSTL, if I recall correctly.

    Congrats, Clint, on getting things swept under the rug...er...uh cleaned up at work. My builder smiles at me every time I show up at a meeting with my laptop and mega Excel spreadsheet. I tell the whole staff there how wonderful it is to work with an engineer. :)

    Another stunner, Jim! The Cool is one of my faves, and in a great soap base.
