The Merry Mixed Up Month of May! May 26 Razor - Gillette New LC (Delta Echo) Blade - Soap - Tabac Brush - 30DC LE Post - Alum Let's do a third shave with the New LC and Rapira Swede. I have to say this blade isn't bothering me at all. I've never really preferred this blade among the Rapiras, although I never had any particular problem with it. Just seemed a bit less comfy than some of their blades. No worries with it this time as it's made it through three shaves with smooth perfection. I do think the razor helps this one. A New LC is a true joy to use, even if it isn't as cool looking as this one. Looks don't hurt though. TABAC TUESDAY and the 30DC LE with Tuxedo knot provided a flawless lather to make three passes go by without any issues at all. Baby is on board and I'm a happy camper. Got a day off tomorrow and we plan to cook some brats and corn on the cob on the grill by a lake and let the day go by. Should be fun and relaxing. Hope you have a great one too!

Yes it was, sir. I wanted to sing, "I'm Blue, lada dee, lada daa..." while I was shaving, but I'm pretty sure I would have weirded out the Sailors in the Latrine with me. Nothing like a 42 year old dude singing 90s pop songs in a latrine in the desert among young Navy Personnel taking showers to really pump up the creepy. Poor guys are surrounded by Soldiers who already think the Navy guys are a little fruity in the first place. A grizzled old contractor singing songs would probably really throw them off.
