    All I know is I have a foot of snow coming at me in a few hours. Gulf moisture no less. Can’t you people down there keep your own moisture to yourselves? Now we’re having: :sad029:. In a few hours.... :Animatedfrozensmily:

    Nacet's are great because they're stropped on crocodile hide.

    You want moisture show up in Summer. Then you have to chew the air before breathing it seems.

    Okay, off topic, but interesting. Apparently the New England Confectionery Company is considering closing their doors. People are starting to hoard Necco wafers. Went on Amazon and found this.

    Not sure, but I seem to remember a public transportation system up north somewhere, Connecticut maybe?, had to change their token receptacles on all the buses because someone figured out they took Necco wafers. Of course that was before the candy cost more per ounce than silver.

    Yes, it is possible, I have the proof somewhere around here.

    If you can find them, I would add Iridium Super, another fine Russian blade.

    Whew. I am glad this week is just about over. Even though the run up to tax deadline has been stressful this year, it seems to have been less than in previous years. Maybe, I have learned to work smarter at last. ;) But I wouldn't bet on that just yet. The C&E West Indian Lime was a good way to end the week. I like the scent but do wish it were much stronger. Sticking with another 2 pass shaves followed by touch ups left me with a near perfect shave. A splash of F&C Capri kept the citrus theme going. I hope everyone has a great Friday.

    Two passes this morning, as I have a work social event this evening, so I wanted a long lasting shave. Not quite BBS, but very close. I really enjoy this scent, so it made for a terrific shave. I am looking forward to the weekend. I hope everyone has a great day!

    Prep: Cold water and Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap
    Blade: Personna
    Razor: Schick G1 injector
    Brush: Omega 10049 boar
    Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat
    Post: Witch hazel, Fine American Blend aftershave

    Like @clint64 I am certainly happy this week is winding down. My shortest work day this week was 11 hours. Today will be almost a 15 hour day. We're opening our Spring musical this evening - Once On This Island - and we've been in tech week all this week to prepare. Great and fun opportunity for the students and TONS of work for the adults to see it through. But in the end we will all be proud of it and happy it happened. We will perform it six times, three times for local elementary and middle school kids and three times for the public, with the first being 9am this morning.

    Now, on to shaving. Terrific shave with The Fat as expected. Went back to the G1 and quite enjoyed it. All of my injectors provide terrific shaves but the G1 has always been my favorite. All around nice.

    Enjoy your day!
