Memorial Day originated in Columbus, Mississippi. Just a little history in honor of our Southron ladies who started this tradition. The First Official Memorial Day , May 30, 1868 Southern women decorated the graves of soldiers even before the end of the Civil War. After the war, a women's memorial association in Columbus, Mississippi, put flowers on the graves of both Confederate and Union soldiers in 1866, an act of generosity that inspired the poem by Francis Miles Finch, "The Blue and the Grey," published in the Atlantic Monthly. In 1971, federal law changed the observance of the holiday to the last Monday in May and extended it to honor all those who died in American wars.
i do have a simplex, mamba,merkur 34hd,1904,wilkinson tto and a schick e3(on loan) but rarely use them..
You are Gillette man through and through. You have some very nice ones and I enjoy seeing them. We may do a Gillette focus next month. Let me go through mine see what kind of plan I can come up with.
Thank you Joe! I've long since given up counting SR & shavette uses. Since they rarely continued passed 30 consecutive uses, the finer skills tend to back slide. No fear of the open blades, much respect for those that posses the sticktuitiveness for completing a Focus or Rule.
Then no need for the dairy bar lather....just saying. Sorry I could not get where I wanted to go with the pun...I will do better next time...maybe.
1200 and at work since 0730....here to 1800. I have been awake since 1300 yesterday...I am to old for schedule snafus.
I've been feeling a little of that with this Chinese kami-shavette. Also heard what Joseph @Primotenore said about lather clinging to the blade. Try a wetter mix. It's reduced the same problem I was seeing. Less surface tension?
