  1. Got to to keep it fresh. The most recent is in honor of the release of iron maidens newest album.
  2. A HA! Well done @cmorris357

    After much searching we've found evidence of the @Darkbulb Cellar Vaults!

    Next mission, find the location....

  3. We may find a clue in this surveillance video of him accessing the vault to get a pack of blades.
  4. Great surveillance Agent 357!

    All we need do now is find the last working phone booth in the country!

    Day 2

    Second day with the Valet. Went a little bit better tonight, however, I have to do a major cleanup with the Red Tip. The Valet is sure a noise razor. Anyway got through 2 passes okay.

  6. Any tips on using the Valet?
  7. Oh how I remember pay phones. Back when I was a kid in New Jersey we'd get in one to keep warm from the blizzard :Animatedfrozensmily: that was well before global warming. :happy005:

  8. well done Agent wmbjr!
    but I think the phone booth in the surveillance video was located indoors. That crafty Cookie Hoarder!

    This may be a job for Agent RaZorBurn123 who evidently has some past training in this sort of thing. I believe that's him second from the top!
    (or perhaps third from the top with his, um, back facing us.)

    Must've been off my game tonight. Blade seemed to drag a little. More water in the lather. Super super slick but it just seems to drag a bit more than the GSB. Oh well I'll give it another go tomorrow. 3 passes and done. One little tiny blood spot. Not exactly sure how I did that. Might have actually yanked out a hair lol. Felt a real quick tug at that time

  10. I've done that before. What a disaster that was. I can't tell how many people are in the phone booth, when I did it back in high school we got 7. I took up most of the space at 6'4" and 220lbs. I was always on the bottom of Pyramids and such. :eatdrink020:
  11. Is anyone claiming fourth from the top?

    And here are my tools for this month if anyone was interested in pictures
  14. I suggest getting a nice new 160gram stainless steel brush like mine. Pre-soak the brush. Lather up and load a Feather blade in the Valet and attempt to shave with it. After two frustrating passes, smash the Valet with the butt of your new brush handle and clean up the rough spots on your face with a sharpened credit card edge. I'm sure this will give you the best, most satisfying Valet shave to date. This is my plan for tomorrow.

    I have a basic question related to injector blades. How long do they last? I'm in for 3 shaves, which for an Astra SP is almost done.

  17. What does YMWV mean?
