As precious as it is, if you land an extra bottle, I'd be happy with just a sample. Just googled the distance from Pittsburgh to Levittown:

5 h 11 min (320.7 mi) via I-76 E
The biggest expense would be the turnpike tolls; they just went up again!

Razor: Progress
Blade: Wizamet (2)
Brush: Sorrentino Custom Orange Crush

Got a great lather from it and thought while shaving that if they just weren't so inconvenient to me, I'd use the sticks a lot more. Anyway.......... to the razor. I got a good shave yesterday on setting 2 with just a few weepers. Went to setting 2.5 today and a bunch of weepers with........................blade chatter. I want to love this razor as I find them cool looking when I see them but debating whether it will stay in the den. I'm going to take the blade and put it in the 6s tomorrow and if I get a great shave, the Progress goes to the sell pile. If I get a similar shave I'll chalk it up to dry weather and skin and do further testing. Long day today as is typical for Thrsday schedule and we'll be a high of 40's today so much better than yesterday which was 16 degrees when I did the 1st job and was 36 degrees on the drive home (the high for the day) Have a great day Cadre !!!

We have a predicted high of 50 today. This year doesn't feel nearly as miserable as it was last year. I dunno. I guess I just came here to ramble on and apologize for forgetting to tell you to stay hydrated for the last couple of months. So. Uhhhh. Stay hydrated! 🤣

In all fairness I told you before I told @GearNoir. Lol I haven't been doing my job for either of you. Both of you go grab a bottle of water! Dehydration isn't only a summer ailment!
