    Damn near sliced my right earlobe off this morning. OK, maybe I am exaggerating, but I did draw blood.
    Keen edge and user-error. Oy Weh!
    However, all's well that ends well.
    Smooth face and smelling great.
  3. Beautiful set up, Joseph. You're making great progress on your 3017. I'm glad the injury was minor. Heal quickly, my friend.
  4. I 3017'd a bottle of Fine Platinum aftershave yesterday. :bounce017:

    Next up is a partial bottle of Fine L'Orange Noir. After this one is gone, I will have worked through my original inventory of aftershave splashes that I hoarded when I first got into traditional wet shaving.

    I may invoke Special Rule # 17, sect. (3), para. (c)(1)(iv) referring to activities within the Fiscal Year that include approved short-term uses of other aftershaves during a 3017. I claim legal standing, and it would only be done, of course, to advance the science.

    I've evolved into a fast 'n loose splasher. Flying insects and most people tend to keep their distance from me these days. Sometimes I get lonely, but it allows me to try more aftershaves. :happy102:

    Happy Saturday morning. I am so happy for the weekend after a very stressful week. It was so bad I didn't make time to get to the post office with Joseph's artist club blade sampler. Another wonderful shave to start the day. I really enjoy this setup. Swati and I are off to visit my mom today. We moved her into assisted living last October. She seems fully settled in and is doing well. I try to take her out to eat at least every other week if not more often. I hope everyone has a great day.
  6. wow.......25 days after Schultz did that strip, I was born.

  14. I'm not saying that @Primotenore gets a bit dramatic with his SOTD reports (often written in the third person), but I'm reminded of this commercial.

  16. I’ve always loved that Paladin, Clint… such a great pour and shape.
  17. Because the spokesman just happens to have been a superstar amongst entertainers? I am down with that.
