    The 49th parallel defines the US-Canada border, above which "eh" is the only acceptable closure to a package of speech. Sort of like radio operators use "over"

    No Bill. I completely forgot the two no left turn signs at an intersection because of my oil light appearing on the dash.

    Great job Tim! My straight razor shaves only take a couple extra minutes over my safety razor shaves, but it was just in September that I realized I needed to slow down.

    I wish I had counted my straight shaves. I'm pretty sure I am close to 100 by now because I used straights exclusively for several months, but I didn't even know counting was a thing.

    I'm glad you are enjoying this. We need to get your straight honed so you can have that amazing experience too. Do you have a strop?

    Well, I pray that it will not happen.

    If you negotiated a safe turn in low traffic, seems like you should have gotten a break

    Great shave Maestro! It's strange tthat they add an abundance of menthol to open up the sinuses in their Cryogen soap, but they are not as generous with their other scents.

    Very nice Charlie, but what's on your wrist? Fitbit or an Apple Smart Watch?

    Yes, that is a stereotype that is often true- lots of Canucks do in fact say ‘eh’...
    Technically, the 49th parallel is only the border from the Pacific Ocean (southern tip of Vancouver Island is below the 49th) to the Ontario border. The border dips south thru the Great Lakes and then much of the Canadian maritimes is below the 49th. No part of New England is above the 49th, I don’t believe. There is even a peninsula in Washington state (Point Roberts) that you can only get to from BC.

    Seems to be a lot of that happening. I wonder what's going on?

    :D I think we've created an escalation issue. I mean, where do we go from here? The bar is set unachievablely high. No one will ever get a CT again.

    I don't know, Clint. I put the H&S alongside the Paradigm. Tough call which is prettier. [​IMG]

    It's in rotation for sure. I have so little hair normally, but I still notice how much cooler I feel. Probably shave in the summer and clip in the winter... we'll see.

    Sounds like a nice Tech shave, Jeff. The brush knot sounds great as well.

    Thanks, Gary!
    I see I'm not the only one that caught RAD during this pandemic.
