Great Summer Shave

Ahhh!!!! A late night shave. This is the last of the 3 Robert honed for me. Well Robert let me tell you this. You HIT A HOME RUN!!! Holy Crap what an edge. After the first pass there was very little left. 2nd pass took care of the PITA neck hair. I have an amazing BBS Shave. 2 passes to heavenly bliss. This razor just hit the "Over my dead body would i sell her" list.

The carnage of the weak Jedi mind........

I have to let this one heal. Had to CA it today as it would not stay together. It was that or have my friend suture it. (From a medical standpoint it could have taken about six..) UGH. On a brighter note.... SWMBO feels horrible, lol I explained it was my fault as I know better then to ever lose focus. I guess it will give me more urge to work on my project blades and scales over the next few days.....
Good looking shaves all around here sigh, except me...........
Have a great safe weekend all

I try very hard not to tie my self worth to the work place, yet I must confess that I do to often. All in all, I'm glad this week is over and quite frankly wish I could erase it.

Pardon my lack of participation this week, I missed it more than I can say & sorry for venting.

Wowww Glen...and to think that just a few short months ago you were given an award in recognition for your innovative idea(s). I thought that was a nice gesture from the senior management team. Now they come and pull this...Shocking. Is your place of work undergoing some M&A...that sounds like the typical "crap" that comes along with that strategy. Bringing their own insignificant cronies in favor of fresh ideas. Hang in there brother, just hang tight. And no need to apologize. This is exactly what this brotherhood is there for...Listening and being well, your brothers. Vent all you want. We're there for ya

BTW: great shaves, but despite the participation, I am sure your mind is a million miles away from shaving given the situation at work.

But in this magazine, everyone will read it from the back to the front, so you'll still up front buddy, LOL. But thank you for the kind words my friend

Oh crap...I knew it. I should have kept her while I had the chance, LOOOOL.

You're welcome Rene...But, the credit belongs to the blade/steel. She was real easy to hone up. She took an edge in no time.

Paul,
Thank you buddy. Somehow I knew you were going to say that...I think we are related, twins or something. What you think, I think and vice versa. Too freaky!!!

Oouccccchhh brother. yeap, gotta let that one heal. No rush. Remember, the longer the wait (reasonable), the more rewarding (and sweeter) the shave. May the force (focus) be with you.

Great looking gear you got there Mikael. That Frameback rocks. And Mark (aka Blugill) would have really appreciated and loved that ER SE. May he RIP. Nicely done.

Hmmmm...maybe the cat was jealous and wanted a shave, LOOOOL.

He he, She is shaved (it´s a long hair breed, but in the summer time it seems to get to much for them, so we shave the hair off, ,boy did she look funny in the beginning )

Thank you Robert! May he RIP indeed, brother Gill would have liked this one.

Once I heard two guys talk, they hadn´t seen eachother for a long time and I heard they used to work as telemarketing/sales guys and one of them said: "after each call you lose a bit of your soul, but you never know when everything is gone" ...

Ooooach Paul! I hope it heals asap!

Our cat is a good streatcher, more than a long one and she´s tiney compared to our other and older male cat.

Welcome back

Self worth is a funny thing; such a big and complex issue, yet sometimes it all seems to ride on one single side of our lives.

Good morning friends
Today again my Revisor with Mitchell's in a beautiful mug (manufactured in the Tauscher-pottery, Waldenburg)



Have a nice weekend

Ouch, Paul! I'd recommend neosporin for quick healing, and stay out of the sun.
Here's to never having a slice like that ever again!
