  1. Glad you had a good time, and glad you checked in. I was just thinking about how I haven't seen you on the board tonight and was beginning to wonder if you were all right.

  2. Bad influences?!?! Who, us? I mean, yeah there's @Darkbulb but I can hold a shiny in front of him and keep him distracted. The rest of us are angels! Innocent and pure. Glad to hear you sent along some Voskhods. Now I know for sure you're deserving of a "World's Greatest Dad" coffee mug.

  4. Thanks for your concern Chris, truly. Things have been busy.

    And actually, now that I have my own CT, I'm not sure how much time I have for communicating with those other than us in the bourgeoisie.

  5. Just joshing with all that fellas. :)

    I just will wait a bit before I suggest my son participate on TSD, lest his image of me drops as a result! :happy068:

  6. You don't want him to know you are hanging with the wrong crowd, huh?

  7. Congratulations on spending the great time with your family! It is definitely the most important thing we can do!

    Also congrats on getting your son headed down the right road so he hopefully will not waste years and years on electrics or cartridges. Glad you sent him with some good gear, but even happier for the memories I am certain you sent with him. Like how you got your daughter involved. My daughter asks every time she comes over whether I have something new for her to smell. She and my fiancee are the ones that possess veto power over scents I use.

    I can understand being hesitant to get him on TSD, with characters like @Rufus T. running around . . . oh wait, I mean like @Bama Samurai and @NCoxSTL of course.

    What do the simple folk do?

  10. I don't know, that Phoenix looks just too scary to me - reminds me of a saber tooth tiger!
  11. And all you guys want me to introduce my son to TSD, really?!!!
    :eek:
  12. Now there's a visual that I'm not sure I want to imagine, let alone see!:scared001:

    Reading this is as tough as watching a Hitchcock film - I'm shielding my eyes thru most of it!

  17. Grand Shave King?
    I have soooo many razors to learn about.
    Is that anything like the Phoenix I keep seeing this month?
    Are these known as 'Double OCs'?

  18. He's part of the Petrograd faction.
  19. Yes the Phoenix was modeled after the GSK. It was originally billed as the self lubricating razor.

  20. OC is for ease in cutting longer growth. OC has little effect on aggressiveness, head geometry and gap/exposure hold sway over that. Phoenix is about like a slim on 7, but absolutely requires a low angle of attack to maximize the shave.
