  6. Thank you Gentlemen!

    Reminds me of Bruce on the topic of Old Spice.

    Got a call from dad this evening. An oak fell in his orchard. It's been a wet spring so the soil hasn't had a chance to not be soaked. Going to take my crew (three grand kids) with and see how much we can clean up with an electric chainsaw. If it's not enough for the big stuff I'll need a new chain on my gas powered saw. Safety first, then Team Work!
  7. Yer basic menthol Monday shave. One of the better that I've had in a while actually. Smooth, no blood, no sting. Wouldn't change a thing.

    Early morning shave, late evening post. Kept the ‘basic’ focus going with another day using this Tech. Had a Menthol Monday with the Jack Frost and Fine splash. Took it to the bowl for the first time in a few weeks and was rewarded with a great lather. 3 passes left me smooth enough.
    Got home in just enough time to see the Raptors come up short. Oh well, maybe next time.
    Have a great night all!

  17. Another great shave (after 3 days) with my Back2Basics 30 day rule setup. I must be doing something wrong because I get the same results with every razor I own now. It's almost as if all they really are is just a blade holder. Weird huh?
    Three full days' worth of stubble to a perfectly smooth BBS. Not one weeper, not even a teeny-tiny little red dot, with a post-war ball end Tech. Gillette sure knowed how to make them thar blade holders.
