Thread: Sun May 20th - Sat 26th

Monday
Feel like I'm watching the Hindenburg disaster. "Oh the Humanity!" (Insulted yet, Jeff???)

Prep: Hot Shower/ Noxema
Brush: Thater 4125-2
Scuttle: G5
Soap: Proraso SS (Definitely NOT canned goo!)
Razor: J.H. Becker 11/16" Square Point (Also not a multi bladed POS!)
Post: Proraso AS/ AOS AS balm unscented
Result: Hot days are great for the Proraso mentholy coolness! And I shaved with a Straight! Nuff Said!

On a side note, I pity you Jeff, having to move the girls in the rain sucks, no wonder you were driven temporarily insane and regressed to gooey crap town...LOL Good Luck brother, hope you get back home and on the straight and narrow again...!
Have a Great Monday Gents!

Edwin Jagger DE89

MWF
Semogue 2000

After several months without anything but a pack of feathers and my popular, this shave was long awaited. My last weeks in the desert forced me to use canned goo and multi blade razors which was horrible! Next week I will start to break out my straights!!

Welcome home brother!! Hooahh!!

I'm Confused here. Jeff why are you trying to use crap gear? And Bill and Carl say you drove there? WTF?? Just because you are moving female daughter's and they have WAY to much crap I'm sure you could have found room for a small strop, razor and gear.. Dude did you not bring your side arm also??? Should I be concerned for your welfare and make a call for a 72 hour Mental health hold????
I'm gone for one Army week end and the world goes to hell.
