Tuesday
Razor | Jernbolaget | Cream | O Melhor | After Shave | D. R. Harris Bay Rum
I hadn’t used the O Melhor cream for a while and due to the heat it had solidified somewhat in the tube but it still worked fine. The shave with the Jernbolaget was OK but not great. I’m sure the last time I used this razor I reported that its edge was excellent, and I DID note that my first stroke on the strop was a little rough; I think I may have rolled the edge a little. I think it’ll need 20 laps on the Shapton to bring it back.
I’m still recovering from a bad back so no weights today. In fact, I modified my desks with a stack of books so I could stand at the desk and use my computer. I simply built a stack and placed my keyboard on one pile and the mouse pad on another. I tilted the monitor upwards. It was quite effective.
The photo included Bailey’s picture he drew on the weekend of our family. Guess which one I am? Hint, I’m often grumpy…

Wednesday
Razor | J A Hellberg Frameback | Cream | Body Shop Macca Root | After Shave | D. R. Harris Bay Rum
Body Shop Macca Root shave cream is magic.
I don’t mean that it’s good, which it undoubtedly is, I mean it’s magic.
Magic as in abracadabra.
Magic as in The Magic Pudding.
Magic as in ‘Why The Sea is Salt’.
I used the tiniest amount and yet it was enough.
I think there’s no limit. I think you could half the amount of Body Shop Macca Root shave cream you squirt into a bowl ad infinitum and always have just enough.
It’s magic I say and I’ll fight anyone who says it isn’t!!!
Stranger, if you passing meet me and desire to speak to me, why should you not speak to me? And why should I not speak to you?

I have no idea, but I thought you were supposed to throw only the bait in the water; not the whole kit and caboodle... Originally Posted by gooser
