    Sounds like we're in the same boat today when it comes to ambition. I just ain't feelin' it.

    Great Fatboy shave, Joe!
    Thank you, Andrew!
    I ordered from Amazon. Best price I saw without looking too hard and quickest shipping. Ordered yesterday, scheduled to be delivered tomorrow.

    I thought the same when I got the newsletter. Fireworks smell good to be around. Wearing the scent is different. Avoiding "novelty scents" is probably the safest bet.

    Prewife prep is a talent all successfully married men pick up in the course of time. I could teach a doctoral seminar on it! ;)
    I will have you know that the Maestro and I had nothing to do with any enablement behaviors other than telling the truth about the greatest razor ever built!! :angelic007:

    They do a good job with the glacials. I only have the Electric Sheep Glacial aftershave, and it really is nice sometimes. Only downside is my fingers still tingle for at least a half hour after applying. The Orange Chill witch hazel is nice too, except wy wife would strongly disagree. She got that for herself and it made her face bright red for about three days. Definitely some kind of reaction with one of the ingredients.

    Well...technically you did enable. When it comes to Jim @jluc (who is an enabler himself) all it takes is a mention. He basically enables himself. :)
    Clint is close...but he's doing a good job resisting so far....until the adult beverages come out later this evening. ;)

    Yup, I'm an easy target.
    Since having the house repainted the porch light fixtures looked pretty tired. Got all four of them replaced this morning. The wife is happy so it should buy me some slack time this afternoon.

    Thanks, I traded for mine. I discovered when doing my price research for the trade that the cheapest price is at MD Barber ($24.95). Can't beat that with a stick!

    Actually the guy who traded the Genco to me threw this one in. It was at his sister's. Was his dad's. He had no interest in it. Not a fan of his father who apparently had a thing for spiritus frumenti. I have no idea about the shape of the blade. My son is going to take a look early next week. The maker is Lord. Couldn't find much about them.

    Today’s shave for Gary @brit

    Razor - Gillette “New” LC
    Blade - Rapira Swedish SuperSteel
    Brush - Stirling synthetic
    Soap - GD Ingress
    Post - Nothing

    Figured I'd get out a vintage Gillette for Gary today. I don’t know much about this razor, aside from it’s a Gillette “New” LC. I traded a Fatboy for it awhile back. From my perspective, it was a good trade. She’s a bit of a user-grade razor, but such a sweet shaver. The notion of having it re-plated was considered and dismissed. It has history and shows it.

    Nailed the lather with Ingress today too. Slick and protective. Everything came together for a stellar shave. So much so, a repeat might be warranted tomorrow.

    Have a great Saturday, fellas!

    Congrats on the razor, Jeff! Dig the scales on it. I wonder if it's the same Lord that still makes razors and blades, from an earlier time period?
