    NCoxSTL AAACK!

    I don't think even Peaches could deny the reality of the meet up cookies. I haven't applied the Egyptian math formulas yet though.

    Thanks for the kind words. I'll send you $20 as per usual. I still consider this place your house, as I know you consider its creation to belong to G.D. It's just fun being the current live-in caretaker, cook and chief bottle washer.

    A 3 pass face and a 2 pass head shave this morning.
    Seems the blade is a bit duller than normal for the 2cd use. I trudged on but with it not cutting like it should, I got a little iritation on the left jaw. Nothing bad, just not nice as I like. Might have to toss the blade after one use, but I should find that out in the next week or so. Don't want to change using a blade twice, but if this run shows the folly of using a blade more than once, that's good to know.
    Anyway
    Have a great day!!
    Thanks!

    November 21st
    Razor: Blackland Vector
    Blade: Feather AC Super (4)
    Brush: PAA Switchback/TGN boar
    Pre-shave: Stirling Mentholated
    Soap: B&M Vespers
    Thayers Rose witch hazel
    AS: B&M Vespers

    Good morning!

    Back on track with this mornings shave. Three pass BBS with just the slightest tickle from the alum on my neck.

    New soap and aftershave in the den. B&M Vespers. Top notch performance. I found the scent off the puck just ok. It opened up when lathered. The tartness of the cranberry came through. The star of the show is the aftershave. Wonderful scent. For an excellent review head over to the SOTD thread and check out what @120inna55 had to say.

    Have a great day![​IMG]

    A wonderful shave to start the morning. The BSB-2 is great little shave brush. The knot is by Vie Long and was the first time they made a hand tied fan knot. The knot is start of the show with this brush. It has excellent backbone and scrub with soft tips. I just wish the handle were a touch bigger. Three pass shave with touch ups ended just short of catching the baby. A splash of Grand Bay and I am to work for the day. I hope everyone has a great Wednesday.

    Well, sure...THOSE cookies were real. They were only for those in the inner circle at the Summit. That photo only serves as propaganda - a hollow promise to all those outside of the circle.

    OK, I’m not sure how to read that last sentence, Clint. Do you mean your wife and daughter might get you soap, or do you mean that you’ve got a couple of soaps that’ll make you competitive with Paul in the frozen food aisle? I mean rockin’ the clubman”for the ladies” is one thing, but pulling that vibe off with just soap takes some serious mojo (or some serious soap).

    I gotta give it to you. Brainwashing and controlling the masses with a last minute run to 7-11 for some kids lunchbox size cookie packs was a masterful move. Pathetic, but masterful nonetheless.
