    Glad it worked for you. Mine only has one day left, so tomorrow it goes down.

    Quite a comparison. And, based on my ex-wife(s) experiences - quite true.

    I just watched the Foster Lady episode today, still season 6, so a ways to go to get to the Coors. I noticed today how much of the color scheme is green on the show. Walls, a lot of outdoor shots etc. Clearly the producers liked that color.

    I could do that, although I would need to buy 1100 more in order to keep my stock even or up on those. I have 900 - send 1000, buy 1100, have 1000 on hand. I wouldn't be out that way. No anxiety attacks or other signs of panic.

    September 11 - Another Temporal Anomaly sighting!
    Enterprise temporal anomaly.jpg

    Razor - 1914 Ever Ready
    Blade - [​IMG] (4)
    Soap - Stirling Iced Coffee
    Brush - Stirling Two Banded Synthetic
    Finish - Alum

    Finished my workday with GrubHub, which means the other side of the Missouri River. So a bit later arrival back home, late dinner and finally to the shave. By that time I had fallen into the temporal anomaly that is becoming more common at times. The shave for the 11th, on the 12th, but talked about like I'm still back there instead of up here. Not confusing at all.

    Change in razor to the 1914 Ever Ready. Some consider this a Lather Catcher but it is more akin to the 1912 Gem than the true LC razors. Still a fine shaver and the blade was a continuation of the Treet I've been using. Shave number 4 and it is still smooth. One minor ding where I cut myself last night but that wasn't much of a problem. None to speak of, really. Just an oopsie. The finish is near-BBS and the Ice from the Iced Coffee is still adding a nice little freeze to the effect. Mmmmmm....mmmmm... good.

    Enjoy the rest of your Wednesday! Signing off from Tuesday. I'll catch up shortly.

    Even though the 1914 is called the little lather catcher..I am ok with that.. to what keeps it frim being in that club is the closes top. A lather catcher is open.

    The sets used for the Mayberry exteriors were used by many of the productions done at the studio. As you can see in this comparison shot, Captain Kirk and crew visited some years later.

    Hard to believe it is already Wednesday. I decided on a 2 pass shave, ATG followed by XTG. With a little touch ups along my jawline and lower neck, I ended up with a near perfect shave. A splash of CC Bay Rum and I am off. I hope everyone has a great Wednesday.

    A Stirling SEptember

    Prep: Cold water and Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap
    Blade: Personna Ultra Chrome
    Razor: Personna injector
    Brush: Surrey restored badger
    Soap: Stirling Green
    Post: Witch hazel, Country Club for Men Modern Fougere aftershave

    Easy and enjoyable shave this morning. Wonderful lather from the Stirling Green soap face lathered with ease by the Surrey badger. Personna injector with vintage Personna blade did the shearing with efficiency and Country Club's Modern Fougere added the finishing touch. All came together in fine fashion. This has been a great month of shaves.

    Enjoy your day!
