    Feeling a bit shavette-fu today

    My condolences, sorry to hear that.

    Enjoy the trip.

    Happy Thanksgiving, we had our Thanksgiving two weeks ago.

    Sounds like a fun trip, have a great time.

    RyX DoH!

    Jim @jtface - Brian fell into more razors than I've ever seen outside of a Walmart. It was one of those "Right time / Right place / too much money in his pocket" kind of deals. Someone with strong Search Fu ought to find his The Haul post and link it. The only thing close to it was Andrew's @Linuxguile buy out of an Injector razor museum, and those crazy prototypes.

    I’ve seen many of his razor acquisition posts so I’m thinking Brian may be being a little light on that figure, and that’s not even mentioning the giant box of se and de razors. He may have to start the 365 day club, Or mr. chicks razor porn page.

    If I remember right that haul was 85 razors. I’ll have to scare up some pictures.

    I'm doing the math in my head which means the accuracy of this answer may be suspect. Hmmmmm. 30+ I'd estimate 40.

    Razor - Gillette NEW LC (Delta Echo)
    Blade - [​IMG] (2)
    Soap - Proraso Green Tub
    Brush - Semogue 620
    Post - Alum

    Second shave with this setup, just changing to the Odds & Ends choice of Proraso Green. This was the first official soap I ever bought, not counting the VDH Deluxe that came in the kit. Brush is the small Semogue 620 boar which is a fine performing brush. I got enough lather into the brush to go a full three passes with the LC and Ladas. Very smooth, very effective, the baby is in the house and I'm enjoying the menthol/eucalyptus afterglow.

    No Ubering tonight. I've had enough things going on today to make me a bit more tired than usual and my pancreatic issues are flaring. It's tension and fatigue. Nothing a night in with some time to relax and catch up on here won't cure.

    Coming up in my future next weekend will be a trip to my hometown in far Southwest Kansas. We are having my Mom's graveside service on the 15th. I haven't been in that town since 2002 and then only for my Step Dad's funeral. I suspect this will be my final trip back to my hometown and I'm fine with that. Tumbleweeds and sand get old very quickly.

    Have a great Friday evening and a better Saturday!

    The Toggle was safe in Cartel hands at the meet up. Adam secretly passed it off to undercover Cartel security who slipped it into HQ to insure no harm came to the razor. Adam was on his own.

    Thanks for all of the well wishes guys. It was a fun day and evening with family and friends. My youngest and I escaped for a few hours and toured the Mob Museum. It was a special time. Good night
