    I’m not a very good troll, but I can do a pretty good impression of a curmudgeon, if that would help.

    Not yet. Most mornings, she is either asleep or I am at the gym, so she doesn't get to smell my aftershave. We are trying something new, where I am trying to leave a bit later, only go to the gym twice during the week, and she is getting up earlier. We try to walk the mornings I am home, but we get to spend a few more minutes together, so she should have more opportunity to comment in the future.

    NCoxSTL AAACK!

    My thoughts exactly. That's why I don't understand the controversy.

    Thank you Doug! I think it was you mentioned liking B&W photos. That B-400 reflects very well, and the disassembled Fatip isn't too shabby either.

    Double dose of your Polysyllabic vitamins this morning? ;)
    It took me a while to work up to doing a full 30 Days of Focus. I may be ready for a Rule if I fully understand this no variation concept. Knowing anything goes happens next ought to be a will power booster.

    NCoxSTL AAACK!

    I just had a bunch of college words suddenly surface and needed a place to go. No Variation is basically the same as a Rule. One razor, blade, soap, brush and that's what you use in order to dial in technique, or just enjoy that setup for a month. After shaves don't count as they aren't actually a part of the shave process. It does help to know that in DECember we want to see the most over the top decadence applied to our shaves. The kind that would cause a vintage Soviet Political Officer to have a stroke from too much decadence.
