  1. You should watch Eddie Murphy SNL reruns or maybe George Carlin or Dennis Leary before bed.
  2. He showed me the Tao of Soap.

    There are no pucks, only shave discs. The wise prince shuns no discs.

    The doctor orders watching these videos, and when it doesn't hurt from laughing anymore you'll know that you're healed!

    Quack!

  8. Yeah I saw that fun going on out there. Makes a cold driving rain a bit easier to handle. At least cold driving rain in St. Louis brings the murder rate down for a night. Silver lining time!

  11. Denver too. I have a friend who's a Denver gang investigator. He loves bad weather.

    It looks like this storm is going south of me a bit, So just at the edge of the winds. Had a gust hit 46 earlier. It's pretty warm though, only like 34F(1c) outside at midnight.
  12. Well stay warm and safe my friend.

  14. It's our first storm, media hyped it too big. Always do. By February they'll be saying a foot of snow is no big deal (it's not). I swear local TV gets kickbacks from the local milk, egg, beer and tobacco distributors.

  16. Yes, we've become a world that would rather be offended than entertained. Pity,
  17. Congrats on the progress you and and the other pain stick brothers have made this month. With still almost half a month left to go, you guys should have it just about mastered. :happy096:

  18. Congratulations on a great shave :happy088:

    Yeah - I learned to love my new Semogue 620 over the last two weeks as well. Aren't these great little brushes? What I did not care for much was the sticker though - that had to go ;)
  19. Great shave for me as well this morning.

    No experimenting this time, went straight for a BBS shave - and got one ;) Two passes, followed by some touchups on the neck and along the jawline. Very very nice. Though the aftershave stung a bit more than usual this time (just for a few seconds that is), I had zero irritations afterwards. Maybe it's because I learned how to deal with my sensitive spots - ATG I just ride the cap there and that seems to work pretty well. I actually became more aware of what I can accomplish by changing the angle just a little during the shave.

    What I haven't quite figured out yet is how to deal with excess water in the brush. Oftentimes, like today, there's some water collecting at the bottom of the knot, close to the handle, and that can lead to some runny lather while face lathering. On the other hand - when I squeeze the brush dry before taking up soap I thing the brush does not load up that well. But I guess I'll learn how to avoid that soon enough.

    And if every single one of my blades is good for around 8 or 9 shaves I won't have to buy any new ones before ... well .. 2025 I guess :cool:

    Have a great day!

    Since I was up a little early this morning, I got to take my time with the shave. The big boar whipped up the Strop Shoppe into a great slick lather. I decided to push things and go with a 3 pass shave. With a few touch ups I caught the baby which is very unusual for me on a work morning. Finished off with a splash of Fine Platinum and I am to do battle with Atlanta rush hour traffic. I hope everyone has a great Tuesday.
