Ramblings of a MilkCrate

I’m out of the “S” thing. I accidentally bought a Fat Boy.

I occasionally throw a bid on things on the bay. Most of the time I am outbid quickly and other times I am outbid in the last few minutes/seconds. So I threw a bid on a FB a few days ago, just goofing, and got a notice that I won. Well crap. But worth it, I have been wanting one.

I won’t go crazy on purchases. I still have Stirling and CBL purchases planned for the year, but that’s it. And my razor count is still the same. Since I won the FB, I sold a razor to cover the cost. So no out of pocket for the FB.
Wife gets a car and you get a razor....................seems fair :cool:

The Process-
Late morning shave and it was glorious! Mixed up a few things and got to it. Whipped up a very nice wet lather and it worked a treat. I don’t think I could have improved on that, the boar nailed it. It did shed one hair in the making of this shave.

Went with my standard three passes of WTG, XTG and ATG with no drama to report. That was one fantastic shave! Just enjoying the moment and scored a BBS for the win! Wrapped everything up with a quick rinse and pat dry. Then a splash of the witch hazel. Finished up with a healthy splash of the AS and everything was right as rain! You know it ... man oh man. Clean shaved and smelling great. Love me some Avon Clint. Life is good!

Home Front-
I think there’s a ball game on today. I may watch that.
