    Default first tuesday shave club pour une.

    As the title would suggest, this is an event that happens on the first Tuesday of every month. All the folks who can't get to a meet due to whatever reason are welcome, basically on the first Tuesday of every month you do something razor related or not, and if you can be bothered do a bit party food :-). Then tell us about it, or not.
    Anyway the first event was a blast, so this will be number 2 - some might say an apropriate name :-).

    To get the ball rolling, I shaved my face and part of my neck, then had a steak with Australian mustard and blue cheese.

    G'day Ed. Still early here and things could improve but I am forced to confront that, while my blades are sharp, my Tuesday mornings are quite dull.

    I did knock off another improving shave with the Vie-Long horsehair, Prorasa cream and DDDwarf early on; made coffee for my bride before her awfully early work departure (school people start early, stay late, and bring work home, I observe), fed/walked the mongrel and contemplated my pending workday over freshly roasted mochajava out of the french press.

    If I get to drill a big copperhead out in the road this afternoon it will be a landmark Tuesday, a skinned snake by Wednesday and a new belt not long thereafter. And that's the way it is in Lizard Lick, North Carolina. 08:30hrs.

    No shaving on the 8th for me. Just honing.

    yesterday i got up and picked a razor, walked into the bathroom with it, then decided i didnt have enough time for a shower so i got dressed and left. I met my grandad for lunch, we had two bottles of wine and a bit of pepperoni and goats cheese pizza and potato skins for starters.

    That's the spirit, no shaving and company

    I have to say that I was a touch confused, but didn't want to argue, you must have been in some sort of honing time hole or something

    It was deja vu. I won't shave on the 8th as I shaved on the 7th but I will be honing again on the 8th. Simple.

    Well I got to shave in relative peace and quiet as I kindly allowed the wife and kids to use my bathroom time to sort their crap out and get out of the house, which of course meant I had all morning to do as I damn well pleased with regards to shaving. So what better idea, than to take my time. This I did. Towards the end of the shave I thought the boss and youngest brat had returned early, but as I said, it was towards the end. It didn't matter. I went out to see what SWMBO was banging out in the back yard, only to see some dodgy looking workman. I watched him for a bit and saw that he was obviously the bloke that was supposed to call ahead when he was to come around to fix the pool filter. So I stood there not five feet from him and said, "Weren't you supposed to call first?" The chap almost jumped out of his skin, looked all around himself, before saying, "Shit! Where are you?" To which I replied, obviously, "Right in front of you!" He looked at me and jumped out of his skin again. And this without even one single razor cut on my face! How rude! I must admit, I can be a sneaky bugger when I want to be. I've had a bit of practice at that sort of thing.
    After that my day was lack lustre and uneventful. I didn't give any of you blokes a thought, and couldn't have cared less! The End.
