SOS: January 2019

Thank you Doug. Once again the weekend was too short.

Thank you Tommy

 

Yeah. I didn't make into the Navy for born-in issues. Exercise-induced asthma was already one strike in my medical records and the thing that I think really did me in was I got one of the red-color-test cards wrong. One of the shades of red in the spectrum my eyes don't quite see correctly with. I remember the guy who tested me had me repeat the flash cards under the red light twice and I got the indication that the final card pattern I was seeing wrong and I failed to identify it properly. That is a critical test for the Navy I think and with asthma already being an issue, I don't think they could give any more exceptions. I wanted to serve my country like my father did in the Air Force, but it wasn't in the cards.

Jack Black shave
and i think i drew an ace and paint.
I've not been a fan of muhle silvertip fiber, it just had trouble making lather i like. Today with the supreme Creme, it performed nicely for all three passes.
Next up was that extremely large baseball bat shaped handle on the JB (r89). I knew it was different, so i took my time, and it made a very close comfy shave.
All in all, not my favorite, but results don't lie, it ended a winner.
Hope y'all did as well, or better.

 

Good picture and setup.

 

That one would be my Barrister&Mann choice.

 

wow.glad to see the abundance of activity today.I was a bit worried earlier in the week that the shavepocalypse had happened while I was sleeping.

 

I think they're both great, but I'd probably prefer the original. I use Special Reserve with the Texas soap(or any Western soap), because Special Reserve has more of a Western flavor to it,
