Thanks Chad! Pumpkin pie fits all seasons...except when it’s out of season...if that makes sense?
I only ever ate the whipped cream. Pumpkin pie is disgusting.

All caught up Chris. I have to say I'm in the same boat with samples. It's great to get to try something before committing to a full tub of something, but I have the hardest time getting a good lather with them. I usually end up doing ok, but at this point I only use samples to gauge scents.

So I guess it's weird that pumpkin pie is the only pie that i like?

Pumpkin pie has no equivalent in its pie type, not even sweet potato pie is as good!
Just no.
Thanks Steve!
Yes. But it’s not a bad choice at least!

Shave #122 (278 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:
Gear: Supply Injector (1-dot plate), Supply blade, RR Big Bruce synth brush, MW Coconut Sandalwood soap, Thayers Medicated, and Bootlegger’s Bay Rum AS to finish!
Rough shave today with the fresh Supply blade. Decent irritation and a couple nicks. Will probably take a couple applications of witch hazel and some moisturizer to calm the skin totally. The results are good at least, otherwise.
Last use of the MW Coconut Sandalwood before it went into the puke puck tub. Still a bit of oddity to how the lather builds, yet still a nice lathering result. This should augment the tub well though!
Finished off with a full lineup of post shave, including alum block. My face is still a bit tender though. Thankfully I’m not off to work right away and can continue post shave treatment. It’s gotta be the blades.
Headed into an average weekend shift. A few events going on; certainly enough to keep the team busy. Good news from the coworker who had medical issues toward the end of last week - he should be clear to return to work Saturday! Always nice to be back to a full team. The new worker is also doing pretty well adjusting to the process and was very helpful in covering for the guy that was out on medical issues. Promising!
Have a happy Thursday all!

I tried Supply blades and always got irritation. I pitched them.

Thanks Tim!
Yea, they take a number of shaves to smooth out. It’s a shame, I like the razor otherwise. I’m stuck with the blades for now though. Might have to try corking.
Schick. They work every time for me.
I agree with the second half of that, but I don't even like the whipped cream....
