Another travel imposed hiatus coming up Wednesday- Saturday.

No wonder it's taking forever to finish!

 

[EMG06]

I know! Since the challenge started I’ve missed 10 shaves with the Mug Soap due to travel and will now miss another 4.

Eric....Living the life.....shaving with half a soap bubble and traveling the land whenever the wind blows.

 

[EMG06]

Ah. The sweet slick citronella; how I missed you. I mean, I think I’m still stuck in the Williams Challenge!

Shaves 56-58 (Sat, Sun, Mon):







BTW this is what I am referencing above:

Apu: Ah. The searing kiss of hot lead; how I missed you. I mean, I think I'm dying.

Looks like it's getting thinner!

 

[heysi]

Eric....start loading it with two hands. You're nearly there.

Yes! I’ve begun to think it’s getting a little translucent. But that might be wishful thinking.

Eric....start loading it with two hands. You're nearly there.

Thanks for the encouragement! I’ll keep you posted on my progress. Maybe a few 180 second brush loading times would speed this along.

Maybe a few 180 second brush loading times would speed this along.

Start loading right now for tomorrows shave.

Williams Shave #62

Ok so maybe I didn’t meet the man of my dreams. But after loading up this puck 62 times, the Eastern edge of the thing finally broke apart so I don’t have a full disc of soap anymore. This puck might still last me until May, but it finally feels like I’m making real progress!

Are you sure you're not spinning that bowl in a high speed centrifuge? Looks like all the soap is up the sides.

Williams Shave #65


Hardened lather leftovers have been duly scraped from the walls and re-added to the puck.

 

[heysi]

And just like that....Eric has reconstructed his puck. Nice work. Now you have 300 more days of shaves.

 

[Spider]

Williams does have a habit of growing. Maybe in this case it reproduced!

Williams shave #66



Williams order 66 - kill all Jed… make more lather. Luckily it seems like the remade puck from yesterday might dissipate pretty quickly as the lather that it makes isn’t as slick as the stuff that you get straight from the puck. It must lose some glycerin or something else in the lather/dry process.

Anybody else notice this?

 

[heysi]

Um.....Mr. Toggle can figure his own issues out. The rest of us peasants will have to wait for the answers.
