    Thanks James....it could have been a lot worse. We got home safe and I had a hot cup of cocoa. We still have a few things to straighten out Saturday but nothing major.

    I got an artist club blade sampler pack from ‘tryablade.com’. I preferred the ProGuard to the SoftGuard. The SoftGuard stops seemed to catch a little.

    I've done my research, Joe. Been living this lifestyle for almost four years now. It works for me.

    Thanks Jason! I realized that I can't use the same lathering technique on all my brushes.

    The storm in January 2014 was bad for days with the thick ice too. That's the storm where Chipper Jones rescued Freddie Freeman from 400N on his quad ATV. :happy102:

    I am sure it does. I need my blueberries every morning with my cereal.

    Thank you, Jason!

    I didn't know about these either until I bought them. I thought I was buying another 100 pack of the USA made Personna blades. It is the same sized small box but with updated graphics. When it arrived though, I saw the box said Made in Germany. Both are very good blades in my experience. I also like the single box dispenser instead of having 20 tucks.

    These are the German blades I used today

    I am a pen and paper guy but still like to get my hands dirty. I am looking forward to reorganizing the shop over Christmas and getting everything setup. I can only imagine how much I will trash in the beginning.

    Birmingham was the same way in that storm. I couldn't get home because of the roads. I taught at a different school then and it was in the town where my parents live. I was able to take a back road and get to their house safely. My wife made it about 2/3 of the way home and then couldn't go any farther. Too many wrecked vehicles and unpassable roads. She made it to a church who recognized the need and opened their doors as a shelter. She spent the night at that church. Her uncle was able to make it to the church and retrieve her the next day. I was able to pick her up from her uncle and aunt's house the following day but we had to come back to my parents' house because our neighborhood at the time was still a mess. It was truly a disaster all around. Thank goodness Wilson had not been born yet and we didn't have him stuck at school.

    Injectomatic is far beyond the level of the Parker. The Schick E and the Injectomatic felt pretty similar to me. I never could get a satisfactory shave with the Injectomatic. Something about the weight distribution was awkward with the extremely thin and light handle. In the end the Parker doesn't approach the possible aggression/efficiency of the PAL razors. The Parker on 5 reminds me of a Schick G1 or similar injector, but not as smooth (yet).
