How's Your Day? Archives

C'mon over 91, I'll drink with ya.

 

Drinking means I can't be driving. Though I'd sober up on that epic journey.

 

Thank you, kiddo! I'm almost ok with it.

 

We've had the 'kiddo' speech already. Deal.

Why does everyone think 25 was such a big deal? I was stoked to get lower insurance.

 

I have NO IDEA why car insurance would care.

Speaking of car insurance, that was a source of drama this week.

FYI, my divorce was final on the 22nd!

 

I know you did but I wanted to remind you.

Yeah, early bday present for sure. The real present comes when she keels... I mean... right.

 

Haha.

Wots up doc ?

Hello there folks !!!

Posting on a Saturday eve from India.

Started the day with a refreshing but rough shave. Brought out my first and old boar brush (one of those rare ones made in India) on my Godrej shave round.

This one requires a good prep as the GSR does not provide as much moisturizing as the Godrej creams.

Armed the Merkur HD with a Gillette Indian Wilkinson Stainless blade. A DFS with the slightly rough blade, but enjoyed the shave.

I am pretty impressed by two shave videos on youtube, maybe not so much for the technique, but the attitude.

Here's sharing them.

Straight Shave with an attitude

I don't understand any of his non-shave videos, perhaps due to my ignorance of the social/cultural context he talks about. I went visiting Mark's latest shave videos and was depressed to learn that perhaps he has the cancer. I pray for his good health.


Also spent some time clicking photographs of the Gillette 7 O'Clock blades. It seems that after the demise of the all popular swede Russia and India seem to be the last bastions of the 7OC flagships making decent 7OC blades.

And if you are not yet bitten by the Gillette India 7 O'Clock Black Beauty, try this !

Happy Birthday!

Our car insurance raised our rates when my wife lost her job a few years ago. They knew within weeks and instantly raised our rates because their research shows that in times of economic troubles, drivers are more likely to file claims.

Of course when she started working again, they raised our rates again because she was now commuting further to go to work. We have since changed companies.

Same thing happened when daughter's medical bills started increasing.

Congratulations!

We are are all hoping for the best for Mark!

7 O'Clock blades are tops in my rotation.

Good morning everyone. Just finished my morning shave. It is so nice getting up at 6:30... I may just keep doing that for the next two months... :happy102

Anyway, JoAnna, that Iced Subzero is awesome! Woo Hoo!

 

So, you guys are still here. Cool...

Things around here have been busy. Dads estates are coming together pretty good. His legacy is being carried on by many (including you fine folks at TSD), and the wife and kids are doing great.

Tracy, I never thanked you for the samples, which were top notch. Thanks alot, dude!!

Something else unexpected happened last week too. I received a package from WCS. The owner of WCS, John, decided to send my dads IM order to me, even after he had refunded the funds a while back. A true display of the warmth and generosity that is so prevelent among the wet shaving communtiy. Thank you, John.

Okay, I have to get back to being housewife for the day. You fellas (and fems) take care.

Jason

Just checking if someone knows if Mark is a member at TSD ?

 

Yes he is. His user name is Mantic

 

Wait hang on. I don't mean Mantic - "Mark".

The video I am referring to is by username "MarkGauvreau" on youtube.
