Well the writing was on the wall/forum. The votes weren't going to my way.
Now I know how Chuck U Schumer felt last night.
I told my beloved bride of the calamity of events this morning.
And was met with laughter and a firm "I told you so" This will be filed away in the memory banks for the next time I am able to flip the script. No quarter given or expected in this house..

She tells me stuff all the time. What wife doesn't? I do have a legitimate excuse. She talks softly most of the time.
And my hearing is bad. Especially my left ear. Thanks to Uncle Sam.
She wants me to get hearing aids. But dammit I still ain't got used to wearing Bi-focals. I'm falling apart like a Yugo car.

I'm 5-6 years ahead of you and have had bifocals for years. I HATE glasses. Hate to tell you it's downhill from there buddy.......

As my day draws to a close. My shave tonight was good. But not many products can claim a coveted endorsement from yours truly.
Don't worry before posting this review up. I made sure that operators had open lines available for the owners of Mystic Waters to talk with trained counselors.
It will be a tough few days for them. With a little help and some time. I think they'll come to terms with not making the cut.
If you doubt me just ask my ex-wives. They got over it.
Sample review.
Todays victim is Mystic Waters Irish Traveler
Slickness good
Protection good
Lather stability poor. Could be operator error. Not enough product. Not enough water or too much water. With more use I prolly would find it's sweet spot.
Unfortunately there arose another problem. The scent pre lathering was pleasant to my nose. But in lather form the scent for me changed to one that was less desirable.
This one for me will be a tried it, And not a buy it.
My $.02

Mystic Waters is great soap but some have trouble lathering. Key to them is DON"T use HOT water. Cool to warm and add slowly. I understand some don't want anything that requires extra detail, just delivering the facts for a good lather with them.
We can rebuild you stronger and faster. We have the technology. Ok, not stronger and faster, but at least make it so you can hear what she wants from the store and be able to read which broth is low sodium.
Dude...I ain't going to lie...your anecdotes are HI-larious!
@Dave in KY Then that is probably my issue with lather stability. I use hot water in my SWK scuttle. So it broke it down.
@NurseDave I would just take a full tune up at this point. Admitting that you need help is the first hurdle. I was once Army Strong. Now I'm Old County Worker Worn Out.
@dangerousdon Thanks for your kind words. Humor is funnier when it has a bases of truth to it. Seems that the natural human nature of self segregation works even on the internet.
Here at TSC we all share many similar attributes. And a seemingly common mindset. Nice to hang out with good people. In real life or on the web.

Ok so I just had a thought as I was preparing my tuna fish sammich.
I was debating on what to have for lunch. Similarly I will have a choice of what razor to use this evening.
So the thought of opening it up to the couple of you that seem to be following this thread, to vote on.
Also there is no way in hell I am going to open up my lunch menu choices to you guys. I can see it now. "I vote for chocolate covered crickets" or some other form of Fear Factor crap. No thanks brother.
So here is the vote.
What country of origin do you want tonights razor to hale from?
"Merica, England, Germany, Italy, Spain, Japan ,Russia, China, North Korea, Austria
Voting will close at 1800 EST

What?! Does someone have trust issues?
@MilkCrate
Trust is earned. And not easily either.
But I’m just projecting because that is just the type of 8th grade vote I would go with.
