    NCoxSTL AAACK!

    And people say that wannabe Russians don't have access to the most modern equipment. Let THAT be a lesson to the imperialist pigs. By the way - order more punch cards. We're running low.

    ...or just use Sputnik blades for shaving. They're not known to cut anything. :p

    Whooops. There went the promotion to Level II. :rolleyes005:

    Will do. Also diverted...er...uh...ordered some paper tape, Boss.

    (I realize some of the young pups here have no idea what punch cards and paper tape have to do with computers. Let's just say it refers to the Golden Age of computing back when the men programming them actually purchased new Fatboys at the drugstore for $1.95.)

    Making derogatory comments about Russian Steel, while a violation of Cartel directive 2.347-HoWDreU, is an offense with multiple levels. If it's a St. Pete blade you're insulting, it's a minor offense, with the penalty involving washing the Czar's dirty socks, polishing his razor collection and keeping your head lower than his when in his presence. Oh wait, that's already required. I digress. Insulting most Moscow blades will get you handed over to the Yakuza bunch for "re-education". Insulting Voskhod. Well, you don't want to know.

    Since Sputnik is St. Pete's, just get out your razor polish, and my box of socks will arrive by courier tomorrow. (Sending Natalia) Don't be alarmed if there are a few other items besides socks. Boris was pretty drunk when he sorted my um, personal items. We'll consider the matter closed.

    Please pardon the Charlski-fu multi-quote. Wonderful shaves, Gentlemen!

    I spent some time poking around on the Bay last night. That is one addictive place. So far, no damage to the wallet. Well, let's see, it appears I'm still logged in...

    Wonderful travel lineup. You've done well in not forgetting to pack items before now. I am sure I would not be so lucky.

    So what is left then? :cool:
    I'll drink to that...:eatdrink047:
    Haven't forgotten a splash, yet...worst I've done travelling is forgotten a new blade and re-used a very dull one once.
    So good I'm surprised they don't say Gillette and St. Petersburg on the side of the tuck...:scared003:
    Good. You needed one.

    Or possibly to Razorplate for replating in nickel, gold or rhodium. Over time, I could see myself being greedy and sending a NEW LC and Old Type pair to each to cover both options, since I have 3 good NEWs and 3 good Old Types that have badly worn or non-existent plating...
