Thanked: 2284Well Fellas, The Admiral is here. In the small town of Baden Ontario.
I got home from work today and knew he had to be here, and he was! After 10 hrs of work, a nice pasta meal prepared by my amazing wife, and a hot shower, it was time for the first shave.
He got 40 strops on my Weiffenbock Chicago shell, and that zulu edge Cangooner put on the Admiral came to life. I had a great 2 pass shave with no pulling or irritation. This being my first time using a none folding razor, I found it a bit awkward but got the hang of it quick.
Hopefully the Admiral continues to be Cooperative here in the HarryWally household. I treated him well and he's also been pleasant to me...... So far!!
I'll report back again after a few more shaves!!Burls, Girls, and all things that Swirl....

I think you should go for broke and aim for the ultimate combination shave: ferret brush and the Admiral!
It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

Thanked: 2284Don't tempt me Kris!!
That would involve convincing SWMBO into letting me use her last ferret. Could be a lot of work!Burls, Girls, and all things that Swirl....

I want you all to know the General has been reading these posts and he's not happy. The Admiral was supposed to kick all your butts and he's turning into a milktoast. He's gonna have some words with him when he gets some shore leave. In the meantime the General wants to be put back into shape so he can unleash some havoc into the world.

Thanked: 2284So my time with the Admiral has come to an end. After 5 great shaves, I sent him away in the mail today kinda sad. On his way to Cudarunner back in the States. He treated me well while he was here, wish I could have got a couple more shaves in. But, the last thing I need is the Admiral to get sick of me and do something nasty!
Thanks again to TBS for setting this all up and allowing me a kick at the Admiral. It was fun.Last edited by HARRYWALLY; 11-05-2013 at 02:18 AM.

Ahoy All!
Admiral Yamamoto steamed in at 0600 hours and assumed command. His first order of business was shaving. When informed that the Journeyman Barbers were all on shore leave he lashed out in anger that He Must Be Shaven With!
All that was on board was a lowly E2 who was just partway in his apprenticeship with learning the art of shaving. Admiral Yamamoto commanded that the apprentice would use him!
With a sound Aye Aye! The apprentice proceeded to follow Admiral Yamamoto’s order.
After a tentative attempt the shave was completed and the Admiral Yamamoto had performed well! Very Well!
Admiral Yamamoto wants to leave at the next high tide!
Is his destination his home port or will it be yet another journey to places far away?
I await word form his Headquarters for his next assignment!Last edited by cudarunner; 11-12-2013 at 03:01 PM.

The Admiral sailed away today to a new port!! He wished to be sure that he would know where he would land next!!
His next duty station is in Arizona!!! I believe that his orders demanded that he spend two weeks there and then ship out for California!!!
I wish him well!!
