  5. Hi Joe. Hope you are well. Kathy is doing better each day. We walked a half mile today, and she had her LAST appointment at the Mayo Clinic. We will give it a few more days and then head home on Saturday. It will be great to get home. 13 weeks and 1 day in Minnesota is our limit. :)

    I don't use my electric razor much at all. I can also get a fairly quick shave with a safety razor if I'm short on time. I can do a quick hand lather and one passer in a couple of minutes if needed.
  6. Miles, I've been away for awhile, but I manage to catch bits and pieces of the 30DC conversation. Do you plan to enlist in the Marines?

  10. Thanks Joe! The scent has been described as cat pee or an old man's scent from some of our non-chosen TSD members. I concede that the scent may have a tiny hint of a medicinal or "cat pee" smell , but the main note is a powdery, floral, barbershop scent. I happen to like it and it goes with my body chemistry. It's not for everyone that's why we Vegites say the Veg chooses you and not the other way around. I remember as a kid when I got my haircut that the barber would slap it on the back of my neck for the tonsorial finish.

  15. Great minds think alike, see my next post.

    Fantastic news! I am sure you will both be glad to be home.

  16. Wednesday shave with a Dovo Bismarck, a razor that checks all the boxes for me. Stirling Electric Sheep lather with a Shavemac silver tip installed in a handle by Jason provide the slick basis for today's epic shave.

  17. August 19th
    Razor: Blackland Tradere SB
    Blade: Feather NHS (1)
    Brush: Grizzly Bay PureMagic
    Pre-shave: PAA Rabid Banana Cube
    Soap: DG Chaipre
    PAA Galactic Witch Hazel
    PAA Star Jelly
    AS: DG Chaipre

    Good morning!

    Amazing first shave with the Tradere SB! Little to no blade feel, easy angle to find and maintain. Very smooth razor, possibly the smoothest in my collection. Three passes for near BBS. Completely silent alum.

    Have a great day!
