NOV 30 Day Rule/Focus Pic&Discussion Thread

To my face the differences were so slight between the type B type C and type G that I had to do split face comparisons. I prefer the B, G then C.

 

Nice song choice

 

Probably better than...

 

That would have been appropriate ysterday

Nice! In my youth (19-25) I was in radio starting with KLZR in Lawrence, Kansas, not too far from @Drygulch . I was the overnight jock for about a year and half then evenings. The overnight shift was awesome because KU is there and the party crowd comes out late. One night I had a group of guys show up at the studio around 1:30 a.m. carrying some adult beverages. I started to tell them I couldn't let anyone in the building at night and one of them said......"hey we came to hang out with you....we're Kansas". I quickly told him to shut up and go back to the campus. Stupid fraternity pranksters. He started to argue and I shut the door.

Well by the time I got back to the studio I looked out the window which had a view of the front of the building and they were still standing there looking a little puzzled. I picked up the newest Kansas album at the time and looked at the picture on the back. And who was standing on the porch? Yeah, it was really Kansas. Turns out one of them was from Lawrence and they stopped there when they were touring to hang out when they could. Needless to say I hurried back to the door, opened it and got ribbed pretty hard then we proceeded to spend a couple of hours on the air together playing a lot of their stuff and hearing some great stories. We had the phones lit up with callers and (don't tell the FCC) took care of most of those beverages. That happened a couple of other times with them while I worked there and they were an awesome bunch of guys!

So, perfect choice of music today for more reasons than my refusal to give up yet!

 

I share the pain of the first two shaves. The third one wasn't as nice to me as I thought. The cut I landed next to my ear is visible tonight. That side of my face is starting to show the abuse. Plus my neck was blazing red about 5 o'clock along with showing a pretty heavy and somewhat uneven shadow. Still, it's better than the first two. Headed in the right direction. Going to aloe up in a few and let it all rehydrate and hopefully smooth out.

 

What?!?!?! One step at a time? Just one type of pass to help avoid scalping? Disappointing, sir, disappointing. Of course I'm only complaining because I'm not smart enough to do the same thing.

 

Great story Neal.

 

Well my younger years were a wild ride there for awhile. Fortunately I kept enough brain cells alive to remember them. Barely, but I made it.

 

Kansas was one of my favorite groups back then. Great story.

 

The 70's did have a lasting effect, huh?

 

Yeah, the late 70's early 80's......how I survived I wonder at times.

 

Me too

 

Nov 4 focus shave 4

I had some trouble with Mike's the last shave but it was good enough to move up for the straight razor test. To give the soap it's best chance I used my Omegao Pro, it will lather almost any hard soap. This time I spent more time loading the brush and that improved things. Sometimes the lather was slick and like yogurt and sometimes thin and bubble. I did four passes with my round point Hart, a mild shaver for a straight but I still had two weepers. The shave felt a little rough and the alum test resulted in some stinging but not allot. The shave was DFS but not near BBS territory. This shave should have been better but I attribute the irritation and lack of closeness to the lather.

Mike's will go back into the drawer and just be used occasionally for a DE shave or travel.
