OCT 30 Day Rule/Focus Pic & Discussion Thread

It's sort of ironic really. Burma Shave was originally a brushless shave cream, and often in its advertising mentioned "your grandfathers old-fashioned shaving brush" it wasn't until late in its life, after being sold a couple of times that Burma Shave introduced a soap, brush, and mug.

 

Yup. It was like $10 I bought that in honor of @GDCarrington and The Vintage Williams Project. Gary's CT is Burma Shave.

 

A perfect choice!

Day 12
Beautiful day here today. Great day on the golf course, and an okay score. The Voskhod Teflon Coated blade held up very well over a week of shaving. ate to put the Aristocrat away, but I only use a razor for one week at a time. Excellent shave soap and Osage Rub finish. DFS this evening. Have a good Monday evening.

 

That sounds about right. I always liked math.

 

Very funny!

 

Will do!

 

Salesman math. Works every time.

 

Especially when filling out expense reports, right?

 

Welcome aboard Comrade! Now join your squad.

 

Wait a minute......you've SEEN my expense report?!

 

I picked up a couple more Gillette News.

New LC. I believe this is called the Red and Black set. The razor looks to be in pretty good condition.



New SC. It's difficult to see in the thumbnail, but the base plate is installed on the razor upside down. Only Neal would shave with the razor in this configuration. This razor comes with the original Gillette cardboard insert between the top and bottom plates. It appears to have been used very little, if at all.



Have I told you guys that I like the Gillette New?

 

There's also this......although I may be jinxing things...........Детеныши сосать Google translate should take care of that for you.

 

What's this item? Unexpected extension on business trip created need for razor. Picked up one Gillette Toggle Adjustable $599.

 

I like it also. I picked up some on sale at the local Target. It moisturizes well, has a nice scent, and it's in a glass bottle.

 

keep in mind the above is a Party approved recruitment poster. YMMV.

 

Totally legit. Without that razor I'm not properly shaved, creating a less than desirable appearance to potential clients which could create an unnecessary dip in revenue growth from lack of sales brought on by said appearance.

 

And who says they don't have a good time in Russia eh? And receive superior training in military weaponry!
