    Wonderful shave and photo, Jim. I'm glad everything turned out OK regarding the razor. It happens to us all eventually. In the old place, I always feared flipping a piece of gear into the toilet. (Yes, I have indoor plumbing @Hembree.) Solved the problem here as it is located a few more feet away from the sink.

    Regarding the smoker heating up...You're loctated off I-70 West, right?

    Thank you, Clint! That is the plan. We are really changing out the protection on the machine as it is as old as some of the young engineers I have working for me. We got a fair amount done yesterday, so hopefully it is just finishing up and function checking today.

    70 west and you can't miss the place, just follow the smell of hickory smoked pork.

    Don't worry, Charlie! The alpha-numeric grade monster will be back in the fall at my 1 year SR anniversary. Since I will be promoted from KG to 1st Gr, the marking will be tighter. A weeper will be - 5 pts., a cut will be - 7 pts., slight irritation -2 pts , major irritation - 4 pts. So, let's say I get 2 weepers, a cut and major irritation. My grade would be 79.

    RyX DoH!

    Uggh, a "get up and go"day for me. Headed to my parents to spend a day, probably spend the night, too.

    Charlie, the classes only point the way. It's up to the camera-phone holder to make the difference. And photoshop apps. I was under the impression my politics course was being subsidized by The Cartel. Sometimes when the Czech is in the mail there are different interpretations. Fortunately the Yakuza wing of Headquarters is making full use of today's Independence holiday. Happy 4th to Neal & Chris, and all 30 Day Crew!

    Well, let me say I am VERY PLEASED with the Burma Shave Soap. :). It is indeed a little warm-ish for summer(to me, anyway), thus as I say Aqua Velva or some other "cool" aftershave is best to top it off with. I would comment right off that Burma Shave lathered up better than Williams(again, to me anyway)..suds were visible right away. Perhaps one or two "solutions" of Stoylin Frost Drops in the soap would improve things, but what a nice shave! Two weepers at the first pass, but I think that was because there was more of a lather-water mix then I thought there'd be(although I did fill the mug with hot water(after putting the soap in). They say the soap is "lightly scented" and they got that right. For that reason, I think it's "neutral enough" to follow up with ANY aftershave. I like that, of course. Happy 4th everyone!!

    Stirling~~Simpson~~Gillette~~Personna 74
    Some guy named Jimbo suggested I break out the Ranger Tech to regain my MOJO...

    That's zatly what I did for today's shave.
    Another young father who shall remain nameless @Linuxguile gifted me the Stirling and I am
    enjoying it so much, I figured it would help attract said MOJO.
    (Am I waxing loquacious enough, @RyX )
    The Persian Jar is loaded with a excellent Best Badger knot and the super-smooth handle
    fits like the proverbial glove.
    Need some help here: No Simpson sticker on this brush, but I am not sure there ever was one.
    This is from the Grey Box era, so it would have been the Made in England "Sterilised" one.
    Any aficionados know if originally one was there :signs002:
    Excellente Jubilatis lather extraordinaire from the Stirling.
    The Personna 74 in the 1941 RT was so smooth, I wasn't sure there was a blade inserted.
    Three passes and a true BBS shave was achieved.
    MOJO-worthy...MOS DEF©
    First time I used the AS I sprayed it in my eye, so this time I chose to spray a healthy dose
    into my palms and apply normally.
