HEY just because i'm behind doesn't mean I won't catch up!
 
All caught up, Chris.

I like the aluminum General better than the brass General, to be honest. I had a brass General but I sold it. I still have the aluminum version.

I'll be interested to hear your take on it after you've had a chance to put it through its paces.

Thanks Randall. I had my first shave with the Aluminum today, jury will be out for at least a couple more shaves; I do prefer more heft in general though (no pun intended).

Video will be up a bit later.
 
Shave #21 of 2019:

Gear: Colonial General Aluminum, Feather Pro blade (15), Yaqi SF synth, CBL 50 Shades of Vetiver soap, generic witch hazel, Master Jade AS, and Skin Bracer AS to finish!

Sorry it took so long...bane of everyone being home is everyone wants to use the various devices!

 
Nice video chris. The tool for the Occam is just a quarter sized circle with a little hook on it. I just use my Leatherman and it is just easier than the little tool.

Good to know. I was able to squeeze my fat fingers in far enough to finagle it out after a couple tries.

Still feeling under the weather, in body and mental capacity, but I drugged up and have to go to work in a little while. I do get tomorrow off, though I still have Mr Mom duty.

Shave felt so-so today. Actually it felt pretty rough in some spots and I got a couple nicks. Going to change the blade tomorrow and see if that helps. Overall it feels like the Aluminum General doesn’t have the glide and maybe a touch less efficiency? Not sure yet. Results were decent at least, though they may not be long lasting.

I needed some calming sandalwood today, so it was nice to luxuriate in my choices this morning. I’m reminded though that I haven’t used AOS Sandalwood for many months, what’s left of the cream I have may just be added into the Puke tub; I’d have to let it sit out for a day or so to solidify it some though.

Still enjoying Skyrim and No Man’s Sky (mostly Skyrim). I’m still fairly low level, but I feel like there’s a good balance in Skyrim of easy enemies and then areas that are a good challenge. The story is fun too; great bits of lore and storytelling that I liked from Morrowind. Plenty of side quests to get lost in!

Hope y’all have an excellent Tuesday!
 
For me it was just the lightness affected efficiency and glide. Looking forward to see if a blade change fixes it. Hope you feel better soon

Thanks Dave!

Some of these other guys must have transmitted their sickness through the interwebs.
