    I loved my time with the Ladas blade. So far one of my two favorites with the Gillette Silver Blues. Hopefully they will treat you as well whenever you try them.

    Can't argue the "draft Clint" CT campaign, that's for sure!

    IMHO however....

    He's got more than just a hot bike going for him. Have you all seen some of his brush handle handy work? Especially on a Rubberset 400?

    And I'm guessing most of the work is done by hand. Hand-sanding.

    Perhaps - the Sandman?!

    I bet even @GDCarrington could figure out a few CT tunes?

    Looks like that wood needs splitting, winter will be here before you know it!

    (Also looks like you're getting it down with those Valet razors this month!)

    I feel I should send $40 to you, seeing the kind of finds you have at antique fairs that you frequent! Just keep it in your pocket for those emergencies!

    Well with that kind of endorsement how could I not try those first. Can't remember if it's 1 day or 3 on the current Derby but I have about 20 more so out it goes in the morning.

    We had a great time, though I'm off wine for a wee bit.
    (Or tomorrow, whichever comes first!)

    Thanks and, to all who welcomed me back, a heartfelt thank you...though there are a few that have a curious note of sarcasm perhaps?

    Really? Hmmm...

    Day 14 of Schick injector focus.

    Second day using the Type F produced another exceptional SE shave. I plan to finish the week with the F and then onto the type E (which I haven't tried yet).

    All I know is it was rather quiet. Just the sound of my tears hitting the desk from the emptiness of your absence. Fortunately I didn't have any carbon blades out at the time. No danger of rust. Oh, and by the way, glad you had a great few days and yes, it is great to have you back.

    Love the attitude. I still feel a bit of disappointment when I'm done shaving because it seems to go so fast. Probably why I spend my evenings reading TSD, sorting blades, planning purchases and all that other stuff just to kill the time til morning!

    Oh I feel the same bit of disappointment but its a hell of a confidence boost knowing my face is slick as glass.

    I seriously think you missed your calling as a country and western songwriter!

    You may be on to something. Tears and rusty razor blades works much better than tears and beers.

    Stop me if you've heard this one before.......what do you get when you play a country record backwards?












    wait for it


















    wait for it



















    a little longer.....................................

    You get your wife back, your dog back, your truck back, your gun back.

    Probably wise that way. If the gun was first it might not work out too well when the ex showed up. Just saying.

    Yes, and you're sober by the end of the track. Other than that...he nailed it. Classic joke.
