    October 5

    Gillette NEW LC
    Voskhod (2)
    Kent BK4 Silvertip
    Tabac shave stick
    Unrefined shea butter
    Trumper Coral Skin Food

    I performed three easy passes on 36 hours of growth for a fantastic shave. One more shave remains on this Voskhod, and then I'll try my first Sharp Star. The Sharp Star will need to perform a song and dance if it expects to beat the Vosky.

    Happy Friday!

    Just wanted to jump in to add that a close friend of my Mom's told me the same thing-it's hard to lose your mother. It certainly is.

    Great pic, Charlie. Your pics often have that very classy, off-white look.
    The Sharp Star can do that song and dance :). Both quality blades, but I do prefer the Sharp Star, fwiw (which is not much).

    And I'm OK with that. Being his neighbor by 120 miles or so. He's got opinions and holds to them. Middle of the road is a good place to get run over.

    The way you were eyeing that toggle I was kind of surprised that Adam wasn’t mysteriously mugged in the hotel hallway after the meet up.;)

    I thought about it, but @Drygulch is a burly tattooed guy. I could have asked my Bride to get it for me, but I gave her the weekend off due to Cartel overtime rules. ;)

    Sweet looking razor! Happy Thanksgiving and safe travels, Jason. Enjoy your time with the in-laws. (Believe it or not, I make no in-law jokes. I was blessed to have terrific in-laws that loved me like one of their own kids.)

    Cool beans, Brian. I didn't realize you got everything unpacked from your move. I'll admit it was a great idea to move your collection up the Pacific by ship. The left coasters don't take kindly to road closures to move them extra wide loads.

    I just hope @BaylorGator isn't disappointed that your shipment to him will be delayed going through the Panama Canal.

    Sorry for your loss Neal, she does sound like a truly great woman. That is a very good way to teach the way to get the most out of every day. My condolences go to you and your family.

    Congrats on scoring the Ascension! It's nice to see Logan chillin' out on Friday. Hand him the remote and a cool drink, would 'ya?

    Judging from your living room furniture, it's very kind of Logan and Declan to let you and your Bride live in their house. :)

    Thank you, Gentlemen.
    Charlie, I don't make too many inlaw jokes either. My inlaws are great folks, and I do many activities with my father in law, from skiing, to fishing, to house renos. We'll end up watching some football this weekend as well.
