thank you patrick..

 

I'd be more worried about the fridge and cupboard.
Disclaimer: I'm just saying that I'm not saying anything out of context which could be misconstrued with such said manner as to be insulting to Natalia , which I'm not being in any way, shape or form , hence therefore was just making a harmless reference as to her diet as i am obviously concerned about her well being and was not insinuating that she would be a threat to the food supply but maybe get into a bag of cookies which would not be beneficial to her training. To further clarify , cookies are detrimental to a body builders physique and should only be consumed when told to do so upon orders from HQ.

 

thank you sir..

 

Thanks Paul
Just a 24 hour stomach thing that likes to hang around a few days for me.
Every one round here that got it went down in bed for the duration, friends and familly. Me, I didn't have the time to stop and rest. I just barreled through it like always.
It hit me and the wife like a ton of bricks Saturday night.
She was out till Monday, I just put in three 12 hour days. I am glad she is ok. Some people slow down when they get ill, it is better for them that way.
Me not so much.

thank you clint,i really like the tfs soap,nice match up with the fine..

 

i agree,i like to use the preshave cream and thayers,but to go without one can feel the quality of the basic soap and splash,the tfs works well as does the fine..

 

thank you andrew..

 

thank you hembree ,its a 40 Willys..

 

Excellent picture, Joseph!

 

Pretty looking set up, Bruce!

 

hi rick, they go together quite well.. ,a similar sweetness in the scent ,the tfs soaps are very good imo,still learning them ,but slick lathers so far, worth a try..and not badly priced,a little goes a long way..many flavors, at italian barber..

 

Wonderful picture, Charlie!

 

Cool picture, Terry!

 

January - Shavettes and Jeeves!

January 8

Razor - 1959 Gillette Super Speed
Blade - (1)
Soap - Jeeves of Hudson Street Bay Rum
Brush - Stirling Two Banded Synthetic
Post - Alum

Well, all of my plans for the day went out the window at 6:08 a.m. when I woke up and realized that last night's date night was today's pancreatic attack. I love me some BBQ. And I ate me some BBQ last night. Then put a tub of buttery movie popcorn on top of it. What do those two things.....BBQ and movie popcorn contain? Fat. What doesn't my system like at all? Fat. Seriously, the only fat I should even look at is a soap by Mitchells. Anyway, after about 3 hours of, um, let's just say suffering the less desirable and socially acceptable symptoms of Chronic Pancreatitis, I was wiped out but.....fortunately....everything settled down before it reached the stage of an ER trip. My day was spent napping, doing a bit of reading and posting here, and eating toast. Sparingly.

This was head shave night and I still pulled that off. I didn't use the pain stick as planned but rather the normal Merkur 23c setup. I had planned a shavette tonight, likely the Luxor Pro again. With my hands a bit shaky and my focus not all there I switched out to the safe Super Speed with Voskhod. Stayed with the Jeeves to stay in theme and used the Stirling brush for an easy and fool proof lather. Three passes to perfection and I'm ready to go. I did eat a more normal dinner tonight and everything seems to be settling all the way down. That makes me happy.

In other news I have a few packages incoming. The biggest portion from the motherland. When that package or packages arrive I will have over 3000 total Russian blades safely stored in Cartel HQ's blade vault. That's just the bulk count. I have other singles and partial tucks of Russians and others as well. I'm pretty sure I can stop buying blades now and probably forever. Yeah. Like that will happen. Have a great Wednesday!
