July 13, 2018 OneBlade Genesis V2 Feather FHS Rubberset 400 #3 with WSP HMW C&E West Indian Lime Myrsol Agua de Limón Another early morning this morning. I think this will be the norm for most of each week for the remainder of the year. Yesterday worked so I just kept everything the same for this morning. Another effortless 2 pass near perfect shave with a splash of Myrsol Limón as an exclamation point. I hope everyone had a great Friday and is looking forward to weekend.
Maybe you’ll make it up here sometime. All the beer is on me. I can’t go there, because the last I knew, I am wanted in the state of Florida.
Thanks Clint! It was all fun 'n games tonight 'till the cops showed up. For some reason, they recognized @NCoxSTL and let us all go.
July 2018 July 13 - Let the Meetup begin! Razor - Soviet Mladost II Blade - (1) Soap - Russian "Start" Cream Brush - Russian supremely sucky super shedder boar thingy Post - Alum First of all, kudos to @wristwatchb for hosting a "pre meetup" get together tonight. Dinner was great and Charlie, @Drygulch and @mrchick along with my wife and Charlie's wife had a great time as well! Yep, lots of razor talk but also talk about families, houses, former places of residence - you know - just a good time had by all. Fortunately the restaurant I recommended came through with fantastic food and service as well. I knew having Ivan standing in the kitchen the whole time would help. Home and time to shave to be ready for breakfast tomorrow. As promised, a weekend of all Russian for me. The Mladost II razor - it isn't horrible, it isn't good, but it's definitely Soviet era "meh". I paired a Sharp Star with it just to make sure I had a fighting chance. (Remember, all Sharp Stars should be returned to Cartel HQ immediately - they really are horrible, terrible, unbelievably bad blades). I used the Russian shave cream and even the really horrible boar brush. Seriously, by the end of two more shaves there may be no bristles left. Amazingly enough it did whip up a usable lather from the cream and I had a pretty good shave, albeit not as nice as the past week. Two passes and touch ups and I have a DFS. Nothing spectacular but better than the gear might be expected to produce. Sharp Star to the rescue. (What am I saying - send them in - horrible stuff). For those of you in the Lou we'll meet up at the designated Golden Corral around 8:15ish. Breakfast and good times is next on the agenda for the meetup. For those elsewhere, have a great start to your weekend!
Jeeze, I thought you guys were kidding about the betting pool. It was a great dinner. Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow.
