hmmm...not sure whether to smack or laugh....lol

congrats on the upcoming waddle works! I'm only a little surprised that you've taken to the Vector so much. it's a marvelous shaver, indeed...I thought the Karve was smooth before, then the Game Changer...but the Vector is on another level, and is more efficient to boot.

Love the set-up with Endymion...still my favorite Pen's frag, even ahead of EF, if you can believe it.
 
Shave Journal Recap for the week:

I feel horrible for not catching up as quickly nor posting here as much so here is a quick recap

For the Week of 23-27th used all CBL soaps of different Flavors and types, of course the Blackland Vector and my CV Heljestrans, and the Feather Pro-guard is still going strong. All DSBBS shaves and a variety of AS/EDT/EDP used.

WOW almost a month without a journal entry. My apologies as The start up of a new shop is crazy and I have been Vlogging alot more. I will update with this I am at 1220 straight shaves and I have been shaving with the Vector as well depending on time contraints. You can see most of my latest shaves here:

I realize they are not as concise as the written journal, but lately for me they have been easier.

I know I have been apologizing as to not getting caught up on all the member journals and it is still a work in progress. It is funny that only working a 4-day working week after retirement, or semi retirement, or whatever this is LOL have given me more time off, but it seems that I am so much busier. Just know as an owner of the Cadre, it is important that I keep up on your journals, and membership. Please know that I may not get to read each of your journals to the letter, but I do peruse them often, and although I make not make comment, I enjoy as many of them as I can get to..........

You know me always searching for your perfect Custom Title.

Again thanks for following my journal and I continue to attempt to get you all of yours.

Thanks for your continued membership and Until next time.
 
Dave, it's only been 16 days! I've been an on again, off again poster myself. Your 4/29 shave setup is very nice. Love the look of your straight, though I'll never use one. Great brush as well. (y)
 
Loving your photos Dave as always! We know you don't read our journals...so stop pretending! 🤪 I kid...I kid. But really...we all know you are busy. I myself have neglected the Cadre lately. Something I will remedy.

its great to see you on the screen again Dave! I admire you for losing so much weight. Your face and neck have indeed gained more nooks and crannies to maneuver a straight through. I noted that a few weeks ago. The longer blade of a straight adds some challenge.
