  2. That's quite the after shave routine. :Animatedfrozensmily:

  3. Definitely for true menthol heads only. Maybe the Russian ice and snow is actually warm to some of @crackstar's setups.

    Pre shave: warm water rinse and hot rag
    Razor: Gillette black tip
    Blade: Crystal Super Platnium
    Soap: Col. Conk Bay rum
    Brush: Classic Best Badger
    AS: cold rinse, WH, Adidas Dynamic Pulse, Dove ASB

    I tried a warm bowl lather, but for some reason got a really light fluffy lather without adding any water. I did not offer much protection. But I LOVE the bay rum scent. This was my second shave with the Crystal blade and I still love it. Super smooth, and still only draggy ATG on my neck. It was a decent shave, but nothing to write home about. There's always tomorrow! I will switch back to my Proraso tomorrow and see if that alleviates some of the problems with the draggy portion of this blade. As I progress it seems I can do better with each shave. Just one shave closer to a BBS!
  5. Thank you Comrade. Next up PolSilver Super Iridium.

  6. Football...baseball....motorcycles...I'm not a sports guy like the rest of you, but if I was, this would be my sport.

  7. Another blade I really like. Smoooooooooth. At least for me.
  8. Hey it's hockey season too......I'm just holding on until the Cards are done.
  9. Nyet! lollllllllll
  10. Da coldah da bettah! ;)
  11. All sounds good. The hard part is over, it gets better really fast now.
  12. I knew the kung-fu was strong in you.
  13. One way to find out if you've properly chambered a round into your AK-74, simply look into the muzzle and pull. Your answer will arrive at 2900 feet per second.

  14. These cartel guys....
  15. Paperwork must be lubricated with the proper libation.
  16. That's part of the problem. A touch too much libation and you start seeing double sets of numbers. My mistake was in failing to offer the accountant libation to make sure he saw the same numbers. Rookie mistake.

  17. Never trust your drunken cartel accountant unless it's time to trust the drunken cartel accountant.

    Just saying. Pass the ossetra while you're at it...
  18. And if that fails....bribery.

  20. Congrats Charlie. And to think it all started with one New LC. It's understandable, the New is really a great razor. I am interested in your thoughts on the SC. Thinking I might need to look for one of those myself. ;)
