    I thought it was just a menthol chill, Charlie. Now it's all starting to make sense.
    By the way, my Dad bought me a coffee mug with that cartoon on it. It's in my office.

    Thanks! The wood panel is a wall decoration in the bathroom. I grab one every now and then to avoid a million photos of my countertop.

    NCoxSTL AAACK!

    Do the AC blades count? If so then I've been a proper fanboy.

    My focus this month is to make full rotations with all of my soaps yesterday was Proraso Green today is DR Harris Marlborough with Fine L'Orange Noir. This is an excellent pairing of scents and DR Harris is an excellent soap.

    Thanks for the inspiration. I’m going to join you in a soap focus. I have some that are gathering dust that I need to try again.

    Thanks Charlie. Your prayers are much appreciated. The major service is this Sunday. I'm one of the "eulogizers".

    RyX DoH!

    Thanks for the positive energy, fellow 30 Day Crew members. The great thing about a job like this is I enjoy doing it so it's not like work. I'll visit with the second HR department tomorrow. I'm thinking after 9 AM so folks will be awake, but before 11 so they won't be thinking about lunch yet. What they don't know is while they are interviewing me, I'll be doing the same to them.
    How I feel about this prospective job...

    OCtober!!!

    October 3

    Razor - 1918 Gillette Old Style
    Blade - [​IMG] (3)
    Soap - Mitchell's Wool Fat
    Brush - Jayaruh #46
    Post - Alum

    Tuesday shave extravaganza! It's head shave night and the Merkur 23c and Arko made quick work of that with a new Astra SP blade. After last week's run with the pain stick this week's head shave seemed to take only an instant. I love the way the pain stick works on my head but I do take longer with it.

    On to the main event with the Old Style and Voskhod for the third night. MWF still for the soap and I grabbed the JR46 with Maggard synthetic knot. I soaked the puck while I was doing my head shave, then dipped the brush into the mug for just a couple of seconds. Shook it out so that it was barely damp then loaded from the puck. Perfect load and the lather when I went to my face was absolutely perfect MWF lather. There you go. There's the secret to synthetics with the Fat. I had enough lather to do four or five passes but only used three to get the BBS and no issues with blood or any other problems. Alum was quite pleasant. Best shave of the three and a great way to continue into OCtober. On to a new razor tomorrow night. Still debating which one.
