I waited till I could feel my face again.

Don't be suspicious, you are correct. Thanks, the Maxtom is wonderful to shave with.

Thanks. He always does a wonderful job keeping my teeth in place. When I was a youngin, I did not take very good care of my teeth. I still have them all due to my first dentist, my uncle, taking very good care of me. What broke was a 35 year old filling my Uncle had put in when I was a kid. My dentist is amazed at the work he did saying that "those were put in with love" otherwise they would have had to be replaced years ago. My dentist warned me 2 years ago I was going to have trouble but I resisted and kept putting it off. Well, now I had not choice.
Today he put in a temporary crown. I have to wait two weeks for the permanent one to be made.

Hey Mvcrash! Is that my tube of Cade on your dashboard ))

All of these products have a microGPS tracking device embedded in them, so I can know where they are at all times. If I were you, I would leave town in the next five minutes as the Texas rangers may be knocking on your door...LOOOOOOOOOL.

Foiled again!!!!

Congratulations on getting the La Toja. It is a fabulous soap (for me, even scent-wise). That Musek is amazing. Did you do it yourself or had it done?

Thanks Robert, I actually did these scales myself a few months ago, it was the first time working with LVS, so I might redo them now that I have had more practice with it.

I thought for sure it was lost in USPS twilight zone somewhere. I was so happy it arrived for many reasons. Most importantly because it was from one of our fallen brothers. She is in perfect condition and shave like a dream.

Last night I broke a tooth and had to go to the dentist today. Needless to say I'd rather get sent to IRAQ with NO GUN then go to the dentist. After the stress of having injections, drills etc...etc...etc.... I was a bit wound up puon my return home this afternoon.
After the numbness wore off I decided to have a nice shower and shave and then take an afternoon ride in my little red convertible. The combination is always relaxing for me. Stopped and had a nice Ice Coffee and wound up back home a short time ago.

The shave was incredible. The aroma of the Cade just keeps lingering and is so nice. The razor was spectacular. Mowed down 2 days of growth in 2 passes. I did a third just to enjoy the aroma of the Cade and the edge of the Maxtom.
I tried to get a decent picture. Enjoy the evening.

Nice shower and shave tonight men. The little Challenge is really that, a challenge to shave with. This is another little razor that burns the crud out of my face. However, tonight I experimented with a different technique that seemed to help with the burn. Smaller razors seem to burn me worse than the larger blades??? Don't know why. Tonight I worked twice as hard at stretching, working on the left side first, at the neck. Then stretching like crazy to get the curve and the cheeks. Seemed to help quite a bit. Nothing like last nights damascus shave.

Finished up while watching some rainfall as the sun settles in for the night. No moon for us tonight!!

Happy Shaving men!!

Mike
