    looks like the same on going train wreck around here. I like it. Things have been kind of lean since they pushed me out of the plant. Still a supervisor in a much nicer place but no overtime. I got use to having all the extra money and now that it is gone there is some serious adjustments to make. On the shave front I was gifted a really nice Fat Boy. Not a bad shaving two sided thingie. Not anything that special though either.....

    A nice shave tonight from the new to me razor set. It had a 12k edge on it and did a nice job mowing down the stubble. The razors came with the customs declaration from the gent who bought them from 1948. There was also a picture of him as well. Pretty neat find for a fantastic price!

    Better safe than in the hospital. While in Texas I had to hide under an overpass until the worst of the storms passed. All I could think of was a huge chunk of hail coming through my window.

    I am inspired, tonight I will head out to the park and burn one too.

    Its been so long since I did a straight shave that I was scared I lost my touch. Learned something last night too whilst shaving and that was if I stropped on canvas in between passes the edge stayed sharp. Last time I used it it seemed dull and I became a bit frustrated at the end of the shave . When you dont shave for 3 days you obviously need a sharp blade so I was determined to set things straight. Ended up with a real nice result and didnt cut my chin off. The Every Man Jack was the perfect fit for the straight and I just lathered with my hand . Quite simple but quite effective and the scent is amazing. With MAYhem approaching fast I find myself slipping to the dark side and this was the warmup I needed to get ready for some open blade shenanigans. Take care fellas :)

    Hahahaha. Thanks Fuzzy:) I gotta say you were bang on about the 1305. Why didn't I listen to you sooner and just buy one ? I can't answer that, but I bought 2 just in case there is a hog shortage in Portugal. I was over across the street last week snooping around and getting the itch to dust off the old SE collection. I see a comeback in the future. Take care !

    I know that feeling well as I had to push the restart button awhile back. I miss the money and the atmosphere of the plants but looking back I've no regrets. I got the T shirt and good memories. Things are much simpler now and we all must move on to the next chapter in life . Keep your head up and carry on doing the best you can:). I dont own a Fatboy razor but I almost bought a Harley Fatboy once so I cant really comment there :D

    Thanks, John. I had a Gray Box PJ3 in Best and sold it...that was a fantastic brush, both in knot and size. The PJ2 is a tad small for me.

    Good to see your post, Fuzzy. We miss having you around. Also, pigs must have taken wing somewhere, now that you are shaving with an adjustable.
