    Hi all!
    Busy week, busy weekend.
    So I slept in a little Thursday morning seeing I was ill most of the night and didn't have to leave for the dentist till 10.
    THAT was a mistake, got to sleep around 5, didn'twake up till 9:30....
    So I showered, shaved, and got dressed in 20 minutes and out the door.
    The Thursday morning shave was quick and deliberate, using my trusted blades and soap. A 2 pass head and face shave from srart to finish in 7 minutes. I thought that was quick. No issues, nice and smooth.

    This morning was a slightly calmer shave.
    Doing an Arko shave with my Omega 48, 7'Oclock yellow blades in my newest razor, Vikings Blades Crusader. Some Stirling to seal the deal.
    Nice.

    Haven't had time to respond to the posts, sorry.
    I did read that Charlie @wristwatchb got the Feather blades working. Way to go Charlie.
    All
    Enjoy

    Next is from this afternoon before work. Full in ARKO and adjustable for the Win.

    Last but not least I got the ole Expedition back running good. I did for $40 what the shop charged $200 for.

    Thank you, Terry. The Feather has been surprisingly smooth in the wide open Slim. As you so wisely reminded me, angle is important. I swap my blades out after three shaves, and that works for me.

    Great shaves to you as well, and I hope you are feeling better!

    Good to hear from you, Fuzzy.

    You run pedal-to-the-metal with both your shaves and the Expedition. My Dad used to call it sticking your big toe in the carburetor. :cool:

    Congrats on getting back on night shift for the next few. Fewer jug heads to deal with, and the coffee pot is all yours. I miss all the free coffee I got at work, just not enough to go back to work.

    Thanks, Charlie! As I suspected, the Cartel is pretty active here in St. Louis. The czar and czarina appeared as the Gulch family was eating dinner tonight, and a good time was had by all. Neal even got to see a real time version of “The Look” aimed at me.

    Didn’t work today, but did have a pleasant shave earlier. Pulled out some faves for sure. It’s our anniversary, and we just had a really good dinner at a place down the lake. A nice evening. 16 years with my best friend.
    Have a great night, all!

    You really think you can sneak in and out of the Lou without being spotted by the boys? They may be drunk, they may be stupid and they may be ugly, but they get the job done. Mostly. It was good meeting your family tonight and boy am I glad "The Look" was aimed at you and not me. Boris was watching to insure my safety and I had to reassure him that it wasn't aimed at him either. He was a scared little minion.
