  1. That looks delicious. I think we have a new plan for dinner.

  2. I passed this joint today on west Washington st. No time to stop, but I may have to go back and find out what the hell that's all about.

    I'm rolling my own tacos today. There's a slab of chuck roast in the pressure cooker that will be ready to shred with a couple of forks in about 45 minutes.

  5. I'm trying to think if I've ever been out for a Mexican dinner and the bill came with fortune cookies.

    Your dinner sounds wonderful!

    Rick, the move threw me off my game, but I'm on it now. Thankfully, @Terry throws out a lot of potential CT material. Blade-O-Holic...I like it. I'll give it some deep thought and report back to you ASAP.

  9. Ok, I was trying to place where it was at. Definitely what we're doing for dinner.

  10. I have Arko, Tabac, Speick and now Palmolive. Slightly interested in Wilkinson Sword, Valobra, Ogallala, DR Harris and the new PAA CK-6 one, but I have so much soap that it's not very urgent. Also shipping to Canada via PAA's site is crazy expensive and I'm not sure if Top of the Chain will get that product in stock.

  11. Another beautiful pic Jason. Keep it up!

    That sounds like something Red Green would say .

    Wow Andrew! Congrats on being chosen. Very nice pics also.

    Awesome shave. Happy Canada day to you as well. I may do some celebrating with some cold Canadian beverages.
  12. Awesome pic Mark.

    I have 2 of the 3 covered Chris. Switched to charcoal this year. Love love love it. Have a couple of Cubans my nonsmoking brother gave me which I may sample later when the black flies come out .

    Awesome report!

    It's good to see he wore a hat for sun protection.

    A nice enough shave, but I always have a bit of a letdown with the DE after using a SE. I think I get a slightly better shave from the thicker SE blade than I do from the thinner DE one. Just nit picking. Nice shave for a friday. Close enough, no irritation, and it got me through a day of work.

  17. You can't go wrong with one. It's a fantastic shaver and one of my favorite vintage Gillettes. It looks super cool as well.

  19. I’m back at work, Charlie. Thankfully no one can see the tan lines from my fanny pack... or my thong.
