This is my setup for today but I haven't shaved yet. Needed to go ahead and post now. I anticipate a good shave with this combination.

Great photos and banter on here as usual! I had a night of adult beverages with terrific dinner and therefore am moving a little slowly this morning. Going to be a fun day of college football and relaxing.

Have a great day!

 

Wonderful picture, Jim!

 

Great picture, Perry! I hope you get recovered this morning.

 

Awesome picture, Perry! Sounds like you have a good plan for the day.

We're glad you're back safely, Randy. I sure hope you learned something at Charm School.

 

Thanks Jim. I appreciate it!

 

I had a fantastic shave this morning. I took some extra time to build a nice Tabac face lather, and I had enough for 4 passes. I performed a nice, easy 3-pass shave just like it says in the book - WTG, XTG, and ATG. I'm in the process of getting rid of 2 skin tags a couple of layers per shave. I don't count them as weepers. Instead, I classify this as beautification.

I finished up the super smooth Voskhod blade and loaded a Sharp Star for tomorrow. The sealed Sharp Star tuck only contained 4 blades instead of 5. @NCoxSTL, have you ever experienced this before? Should I bring formal charges against you in the Cartel Court for only giving me 80% of what was advertised? I don't want to impugn your character, man, but a blade is a blade. Times are tough, and these things cost a dime apiece!!!!!! Seriously, this is the first time I've been shorted a blade, and I'm wondering if this has happened to anyone else.

 

@Pete123 - Great shave with your Barbershop soap this morning. Excellent quality! Thank you for the free sample.

 

File form SSDiscrep20345 in triplicate with the Cartel Quality Control office. Make sure to include a copy of your current Cartel ID card, a clear photo of the tuck you are reporting and include 40 rubles for processing. Once we receive the form we'll sent out WDGaDSuks2BU9877 which you will need to sign and have notarized and returned to us with an additional 40 rubles just because we can. Once receive that form back we will then email you with instructions on how to fill out the online portion of the claim. That will require an online payment (credit card preferred) of an additional 40 rubles. Once that is complete there is the normal 90 day mandatory waiting period at which point we will contact you with instructions to file the claim for replacement of the allegedly missing blade. Please be aware that should we determine that the blade was not missing just because it wasn't in the tuck, your claim will be denied. For the procedure to appeal the denial you will need to call the Cartel help line at 1-800-DNT-CARE and speak with a representative. Please be advised that our representatives only speak Russian and are only available when sober. Thank you for contacting Cartel HQ with your concern. We trust we have satisfied your complaint.

A nice Saturday morning shave with the Tuckaway and some Stirling Agar. I really enjoy this scent and it makes for a great shave. Two passes and a DFS. It was a nice addition to my morning and a nice walk with my wife. I hope everyone has a great day!

 

Wonderful picture, Jim! Sounds like a nice morning.

10 out of 10! About what I expected, in other words.

 

Well that’s nowhere near the pita I was expecting for filing a claim, seems almost too easy. @wristwatchb the sober time of day is between 6&6:15am before the morning coffee has finished brewing and vodka is mixed in, and shortly there after they won’t be able to tell the phone apart from the coffee pot.

 

Well, there is another option should you prefer.
