Mayhem 2019

Eufros Tobacco~~Morris & Forndran 2XL Blonde Badger~~Boker
SR #86
Another go with the re-formulated Eufros shave soap. I had a tin of the Tobacco in the old formula
and the scent was simply not on par with the exquisite ASB. Could not figure out why not?
However, when I cracked open this container...night and day. The exact scent and strength of the balm.
This tobacco is like nothing else I have owned, which includes ASW Old Virginia, Tabac, Havana, HTGAM Cavendish,
even my homemade, tobacco infused MWF. No ashtray smell like I experienced with Tobacco Lounge, from the now-defunct...
cannot even remember the name of the company, so unimpressed was I with the product.
It's as if you took freshly dried Virginia tobacco leaves and cured them with vanilla and honey. Maybe.
SWMBO thinks it's on the sweet side and I can't say she's incorrect.
One thing, for certain, there isn't another comparable product of which I am aware.
Glycerin seems to be the biggest change in Manuel's formula. There is now an ability to create a
rather loose, but consistent lather, which seems to be slicker and shinier than before.
Certainly, all these thoughts of mine are subjective. As are all "reviews", I might add.
The M&F Blonde Badger has a 28mm knot, with a great combination of softness and backbone.
Zero scritch.
I wish that the "Chubby"-style handle were slightly larger.
The Boker, with its "fish-like" scales performed well. The pins are loose, but I have decided to
not attempt to "tighten" them, such a disaster was my last attempt.
BBS is a term that I used quite often, and still do when I shave with a DE, but with the SR...
DFS is my objective and I have a pretty high batting average with that as my goal.
My doctor forbade me from mowing the lawn for three weeks and it is REALLY long.
I hired the guy who treats the lawn to mow it, but I am not sure when he's coming out.
Post-operative pain has subsided and Dr. Mrs. Primo insisted that I take an Aleve to combat
swelling. I obeyed.
Lot's of GOT talk after last night's finale. It was everything I expected and less.
I'll put it another way:
The last time a terrific series concluded so poorly was Lost.
Back to the books...come on GRRM! Publish already. ​

 

Great picture and report with some fine enabling mixed in , Joseph.
Glad you're feeling better.

The only way to follow up on @Primotenore 's shave report is to announce, as I did in an earlier post, that I am back to being clean-shaven. Decided to lose the beard growth this morning. I suddenly realized I wasn't enjoying my shaves as much with the facial hair, because of having to "work around it". I kinda prefer ENJOYING my shaving. So, off it went.

 

Great shave, I 200% agree about lost !

 

In my research of possible new locations, I've been impressed with Pullman and Pomeroy. Goin' anywhere near those communities?

 

Thanks, gents!

Great looking shave Robert. I looking forward to your report on the Enders. Are you using vintage blades or Schick Proline?

Charlie bowls on the radio: "And now here he comes, Charlie strides up to the line.....sets his position, brings that baby over and behind his head, FIRES......(sound effect-mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmCRACK)..."OOOOH, and he JUST misses the strike as the thing suddenly flies into the gutter". But that doesn't bother him-the man has come closer to his weight goal."

 

Thank you, Clint!

Early morning shave with a late morning post. I didn’t sleep well last night so I needed a drama free shave. Luckily I’m getting the new Tatara razor dialed in. I started with an ATG pass followed by a XTG pass. After touring up my jawline and buffing my lower right neck I caught the baby with ease. I hope everyone has a great Monday.

Thank you, Clint!

 

I feel for you Joseph. I had a ruptured colon in 2002 with 33” of colon removed. Afterwards I had a hernia along the incision that required 5 repair surgeries before they managed to correct the problem.

Thank you Jim. I can attest that today is a Monday.
