September 30 Day/Rule Focus Pix & Discussion

Thanks, Maestro!

 

That's impressive, and very reassuring. I didn't know you had it that long, cool.

We were able to get our XL on a Memorial Day sale 2.5 years ago....sub $1k, lots of extras, the convector plate mainly, but also a bunch of store brand freebies to get us started. It replaced a natural gas based grill purchased when we bought our house in 1996. The BGE was definitely an investment 'gamble' we took, but still a lot less than the pellet smoker equivalent we were thinking about. I had been doing tons of online reading trying to decide on which....then wifey and I went shopping and found the deal. Pellet smokers/grills that can do the temp range (in one unit) like the BGE get to double if not OMG pricing very quickly. Quite happy with the choice!

 

i do as well to be honest as i use short strokes with the gillettes,especially south/north.no issues from it..using the audible part is very helpful as well..

 

One time with an open edge tool, I made strokes successively and concluded with a good soap (I used Stirling) there was maybe half the sickness 2nd stroke vs the 1st, maybe 15% at the 3rd, and after that almost nothing.

 

Lovely shave, Jason! Sounds like the scent matchup went beautifully. About the only scent I can get away with is lime. So I do have a couple of lime scented products I like. I just may break them out after this focus ends.

Thank you Bill.

 

Masterful!

 

It will be cherished.

 

Has OneBlade reached out to you yet about using your photos?

 

Thank you Gary. Working from home while I have basement air handler replaced and an inline dehumidifier installed. My wallet is already screaming.

 

Nice setup!

 

Thank you Jeff. 2020 seems to be the year of home repairs for us. I keep telling myself it's only money.

 

I think spending less time buffing and reshaving over unlathered areas (overshaving) is decreasing the time. I'm lathering the same as I always have.

 

Wonderful image and report, Joseph!

 

I would worry if it was crying Uncle.

 

Thank you, Jeff! You as well.

As in just water? That's hardcore, dude.
Truthfully, it makes sense that one can use only water. Never tried it myself, aside from a little touch up here and there.

 

Mine was the largest available at the time. I bought it before Asha was born since the BGE didn't get as hot to touch as a gas grill we were replacing. I have really enjoyed it over the years.
