    This was my last shave with Eye-Gore and I’m a little bummed to be sending him in. If I ever had to quit using straights I would be happy to have this razor in my den. I am dolphin smooth this morning after three easy passes.

    Are you egging me on, Brian, or offering to bake me cookies?

    My wife and I are fifteen year subscribers to the Broadway Series and have loved it. Half a dozen great date nights a year. Have fun!

    Great looking photo and brush Brian. I added the St John's Bay Rum to my Christmas list for the girls. Fingers crossed.

    Have fun Charlie.

    It sounds like they are working East to West. We are looking forward to seeing Beautiful on November 5th. Last season had a wonderful Phantom of the Opera. We have seen so many great plays that it’s hard to pick favorites. Most of them are very good.

    Now I’m envious. My wife has seen Phantom in London and wants to take me there for a play. It sounds like you will see each play before me. No spoilers

    You could use this instead of straights? High praise indeed, Brian.

    Yes, this razor is an excellent performer. In fact I got as nice a shave today on the fifth use of a blade than I have ever had with any DE. I can get this shave with a straight, but not in three very quick passes. I would buy this razor!
    Now, I will slither back to the Dark Side....

    RyX DoH!

    Just imagine what Tom's straight razor would do! He mentioned thinking about making one, but that's a whole 'nother kettle of cookies.

    Prep: Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap
    Blade: Schick
    Razor: Schick M adjustable injector
    Brush: Jayaruh #142 black badger
    Lather: Soap Commander Passion
    Post: Witch hazel, Speick aftershave
    WTG, XTG

    Great shave. Some of the best lather I have had in a long time. Soap Commander works so well. Smooth, comfortable, easy, and refreshing. Not much more to report.

    I am off in a little while to carry 170 of my closest friends to a band contest at Jacksonville State University in northeast Alabama. We'll go and watch some bands perform, eat dinner, and them compete at 8:15 Central tonight. Going to be a long day! The kids are a little tense because they want to do well, so I have to manage some one-on-one relationships throughout the day. Being a teacher is much, much more than actually teaching your subject. We are teaching a kid....respect, behavior, impulse control, self discipline, and on and on. It can be very challenging at times. This will be one of those days as everyone will be on edge in wanting to do their best and pushing others to do the same. But all will be well in the long run as everything works out over time.

    Sorry to go philosophical on you! I know you guys have been there with your own kids and all of us had teachers that molded our paths and helped shape us. Tell those teachers thank you if you are still in touch. It will mean the world to them.

    Have a great weekend!

    Good luck and safe travels today Perry. My impression is that you already serve as a great example of the very attributes you are teaching. Just keep up the good work. :happy088:
