Congrats on killing the soap Clint. Awesome shave and I'm thankful you dodged the bad weather.

I have been studying up on the Nodachi a little. Tatara's cap and base retention system is pretty impressive. I just hope I can tame the little monster. Take care!

 

Thank you Blair.

 

Beautiful shave Dave and those Vectors are nice. It is amazing how stuff accumulates in the den but we are having fun.

 

Thank you Danny.

The retention system is impressive. You can use other handles with the Nodachi head but the Nodachi handle will only work with Tatara Razors. If you look at the first few mm of the handle has no threading and is bored out to slip over the non thread portion of the top plate.

 

Beautiful shave and picture! Always great to here from you Doug.

 

Yes, I noticed that. A lot of thought went into that design. I wonder if it actually has a benefit or is it more of an overkill.

 

No shave day for me….

Woke up to 6F, -10F ‘feels like’. 3pm, we’re now 18F, 9F feels like. More snow/mess about 3 hours away. 3-5 inches. We should stay roughly 18-20F til tomorrow morning, warm a little.

Spent 1/2 the day checking in on Dad, a few essential errands for him and us (prescriptions). His independent living facility hasn’t lost power, it’s on the same feed as the police station across the street. All good.

We’re now at 24 hours no power (2 miles away). Able to keep the main room of the house ~50F, with one generator running heaters and devices for entertainment, been playing board games too. One generator running the fridge and microwave (as needed). Kind of feel like one of those dooms day preppers, as we’re fortunate to have the set up we have, but it’s really more luck because I have them available for my work (camping most of the time and not hotels).

The power situation in TX is a mess, literally. Lots of finger pointing. The 4 major metropolitan areas (Dallas/Fort Worth, Austin, Houston and San Antonio), are running anywhere from 30-90% of the residents and businesses without power still. Some areas now getting the news it may be Wednesday afternoon before power again.

Here’s the grid situation, county by county:


If a county ain’t grey, there’s power out. Darker colors, more power out to a greater percentage. We’re in one of the orange counties, 40-45%. But, we’ll be fine…just have to wait it out.

It’s also kind of funny watching the ‘here, hold my beer’ yutes passing the time during this weather event. Just a few minutes ago, someone driving a pickup truck, one guy filming in the back, two shortened ski ropes tied to the hitch, two guys without their beer at the other end, one on a sled, the other on a round trash can lid. They made two passes on our street, it’s still 3-5 inches deep with ice/snow. Others have been using the closed streets that have elevation changes as ski/snow board ramps. Can’t make this up…I’m not that type of creative!

Hope everyone has a great rest of Tuesday!

 

Great job on the Arky Joseph. Looking forward to your comparison and your shave was mos def in the awesome category. Take care.

 

Great shave Pierpaolo. The aluminum Timeless is purdy.

 

Thanks Joe and you as well.

 

Thanks Clint and yes it was. It is going down to 23 tonight.

 

Way to shave Jeff! Beautiful gear and your ability to shave is an encouragement. Take care!

 

This may sound like a shave report but it is a update on plowing the yard. Started with some impromptu welding to stop the snow flap from rattling. A nice 3 passer and its smooth again. The blade is well used and I rode the gas peddle like a jockey. Just a matter of time before the city plow fills me back in again. Very windy and hard to see now as its getting dark. Stay warm .

 

Awesome shave Doug! Great winter pic!

 

Thank you, Gary. And a most pleasant good evening to you.

 

Awesome shave Joesph! I have heard that Arkie stones are hard, but they do produce a nice edge!

 

Sorry about the nick Joe. Great shave even with the mishap. Take care.

 

You nailed the Tuesday Timeless Tabac shave. Awesomeness Jim with a great picture to boot.
