  1. It's a great knot which I will use for a few week. Works really well with Route 66 soaps.
  2. 9 7 3 5
  3. So I was bored while eating my lunch today, and randomized my next 7 shaves. I will be traveling a fair amount for work during the month, so I will randomize my shaves out of my travel kit as best as I can, but they will differ from this list. This is kind of fun. My week looks like:

    1.) Nathan Clark 24mm Envy White
    Chiseled Face Summer Storm
    Blackbird
    Voskhod

    2.) Simpson Beaufort 5
    Soap Commander Vision
    Fatip Grande
    Astra SP

    3.) Simpson Chubby2 Synthetic
    Speick Cream
    Rockwell 6S
    Bolzano

    4.) Duke 3 Pure
    Stirling MITA
    Schick Krona
    Polsilver SI

    5.) Omega 10066
    Stirling Electric Sheep
    Rockwell 6S
    Shark SS

    6.) Nathan Clark 24mm Envy White
    Stirling Black Ice
    Shavecraft 102
    Bic Chrome Plat

    7.) Vie Long 13065 White
    Stirling Coconut Limes
    Schick Krona
    Permasharp

    This is also fun because it is making me grab things that while I really do like, aren't first picks; at least in terms of hardware. My list is sixteen brushes and soaps, nine razors and blades..

  4. How about a picture?
  5. I will put them up daily. Tonights in a couple of hours. Or do you mean of everything all at once?

  11. I call foul. It's already my day off so a lot of good your permission did me today. I called my boss and asked for a rain check for Wednesday. Not sure she's stopped laughing yet. Oh, and speaking of bosses, I have a new one of those as of this Wednesday. I got the call on Saturday that I've been promoted to Store Manager. It was expected but like all things not official until I got the call. The only surprise was which store. I had been angling for one of two stores under one of the Area Managers I have worked with a lot in the past couple of months. I got another one instead, but it's one I've had good results in and it's the newest Area Manager who apparently insisted that I was the one she wanted. As she put it...."you were drafted number one overall". So, I can end my nomadic life and settle into my own desk. It may keep me a bit quieter on here during the day depending on business, etc., but I'll just have to make up for that in the early morning and evenings.
  12. :wave: Congratulations

  13. The shark SC was very tough for me too, exact same experience. Weepers out of no where and just felt rough.

  16. I suppose naming a blade "Shark" makes it sound all sharp and cool, but when you think about it their teeth aren't exactly smooth and easy to deal with. So maybe the name really fits!

    Neal,

    You have 8100 permutations to choose from!
  18. Sorry,

    Give your guys the day off tomorrow!

    Congratulations!
  19. Nope, no way. That means I have to work. And it's still my day off. What do I look like, a nice guy?! :ahem:
  20. You're right! Sharks don't have sharp teeth, they have serrated teeth. Good joke! :happy102:
