  3. At last, the Haslinger ringelblumen is no more! Time to get to work on the coconut now...
    I used the Calypso again. I still ended up with a couple of weepers, but it was better than yesterday. Other than that, an outstanding shave from the Calypso.

    Have a great evening and a pleasant Wednesday!

  18. Hey battah battah, swingah.
    Swing battah battah, swing.

    On deck for today was my fav, the Focus R21 Evolution plastic doodad barbering tool with a GSB on 2.

    Since I showered with the Varen soap (which gave me the sensation of digging under a pine tree with my bare hands) Stirling Glacial Satsuma came in from the bull pen to cool things off a little. It was like getting hit in the face with a frozen baseball bat. Come to think of it the stub end of my newly adopted @Jayaruh 367 was actually used to make a Louisville Slugger.

    3.5 passes with the chevette and I got me a happy face!

    Splashed on a generous helping of the Glacial Satuma AS try to bury the remnant of the Varen I was so intent on using up. Most of the day I thought I had found a crate of oranges in that dirt hole under the pine tree. Thankfully Satsuma was the only thing left by morning.

    Now, I know that there are a couple of hundred of folks out there with @Jayaruh brushes, but I hate to tell you I got the best. And, can you imagine the excitement some major league baseball player might be having to know his game stick was made from the stub end of the Glorious #367!

    As a follow up to this shave yesterday, I duplicated the process using Blood on Steel (the mostest glorious Stank).

    I also found Varen bath soap extraordinary slick and slippery today. That stuff flew right outta my hands over the shower curtain and right dead smack into the trash. Even my best efforts to retrieve it were met with failure. Guess I'm just going to have to sacrifice it.

    Be well.
