Wait, shouldn't bids be going up instead of down?
Nope, it's reverse day. $18 if you throw in a package of blades!

Cant get a much better deal than that, unless he’s giving away his whole den with it.
I’ll split the Paladins with you.

Shave 5 of 2019:
Gear: Asylum RX, Feather Pro blade (20; flipped), Big Bruce synth, JoHS Turkish Bath (Barbershop) soap, generic witch hazel, and CC Venture AS to finish!
Just a quick entry today, heading off to work soon.
Whether it’s the razor, the blade flipping, or a lucky blade, I’m (I’m probably going to regret saying this; knock on wood) continuing to get consistently good shaves with the RX. Just a tad closer than a normal DE finish, little to no irritation.
It’s been a fairly tiring week, glad it’s my Friday. Early days and late nights. Such is the road to helping those recovering. The kids are in that funky mood children get into when they’ve had too much time off; they’re (we’re) quite ready for them to go back to school!
Happy Saturday all!

Thank you Tim!
I love the kids going back to school! And the RX has another super hero kind of shave with Chris so if it isn’t his he’s trying to ask permission in his head to buy one!
My wife would throw herself a party on our sons' first day back in school after summer vacation. She would get a favorite movie and snacks, and make a day of it, lounging around in her pajamas.

Lol! It’s a great razor! Last shave with it this week coming up in a few, as I prepare for service.
If the missus wasn’t off to work at the same time, I’m sure this is exactly what she’s do!

Shave 6 of 2019:
Gear: Asylum RX, Feather Pro blade (21; flipped), Yaqi SF synth, Elite Puke Puck soap, generic witch hazel, Lucky Tiger AS, and Terre D’Hermes frag to finish!
Just a quick entry before heading out to services.
Decent final shave with the RX this morning, a little rushed. I ended up with Jim’s scenarios of everyone suddenly needing to use the bathroom or get help when the shave started. As a result I got a couple small nicks and one minor cut. At least I smell like a million bucks!
Tomorrow I’ll give final thoughts and start with the Brass General, fresh blade!
Predicted to be a rainy week; had some nice showers yesterday, though some decent wind too. We definitely need the rain!
Starting tomorrow, with the kids and missus back to the grind, while she is mending, I’m back on Mr. Mom duty. It’ll be up at 6:30am each day for me!
The wife and I have been spending evenings watching the British Baking Show and playing No Man’s Sky on the PS4. The early show hosts are a crack up! The newer ones are not quite as good...still trying to figure out the dude, he’s some kind of 80s/90s rocker type. No Man’s Sky is a fantastic exploration/discovery game so far. Seeing all the early troubles it had upon release 2ish years ago, I’m glad I got into it just now. It’s worth the $10 we spent on it for sure!
Have a happy and blessed Sunday all!

You guys need to put locks on your bathroom doors! Lol.
No Man’s Sky sounds like it might similar to Fallout? I’ve never heard of it, but I might try it for $10!

Ha! That is an excellent thing to do.

Its more sandbox and less story driven than Fallout. The “goal” is to learn, explore, and at some point reach the center of the galaxy...the journey there is the major story, though some lore and missions drive the progress. Resources are limited and it literally takes 10-30 minutes to space travel to some places depending on your tech. There are supposedly of over 1 quintillion explorable planets in this persistent universe.
