My kiddies are at VBS this whole week as well. Cleaning up is always interesting and gives a whole new meaning to the term "crumb crunchers".
I kinda started seeking out a clone last night. It appears ebarbershop doesn’t have them any more. I remember seeing them somewhere else, but those brain cells must have died.
Stinks about ebarbershop. That is where I got mine
I just checked ebarbershop and was able to add it to the cart. So I'm guessing they are available.

I don't mind the heat as much as the humidity

Shave #190 (322 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:
Gear: Schick Adjustable injector, Schick blade, RR Big Bruce brush, SC Commitment soap, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, and Pitralon Classic AS to finish!
Today was a very nice, worry free shave from the Schick Adj. I kept it on setting 3, I meant to ramp it up to 4 or 5, but once I got started, I honestly just forgot and kept enjoying. The feel of the shave is about on level with a Tech, but more efficient I’d say. The BBS doesn’t last as long, but that’s just more to shave tomorrow, right?
Get to close up a little early today! Always a good thing!
Happy Wednesday all!

Shave #191 (322 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:
Gear: O-Clone injector, Schick Twin blade, 1st Anniversary TSC badger brush, JoHS Turkish Bath soap, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, and Barbasol PR AS to finish!
Second use of O-Clone injector loaded with twin blade. Not the closest, but at least it was a smooth shave. Perhaps the blade might be on the fritz? It didn’t necessarily feel tuggy though.
This will mean that I’ve now shaved twice with each of the injectors. Here’s how things stand so far: The Schick Adjustable is probably the smoothest shaver and probably top of the heap. The PAL is almost neck and neck with the Schick, a little more blade feel but also probably a slightly longer lasting shave. O-Clone is just a good shaver, though not adjustable. I may have to try some shaves with the full settings next.
Today is my Wednesday! Temperature predictions have dropped slightly for this weekend, so high 90s now instead of low 100s, which is a very slight improvement! VBS wraps up in the afternoon tomorrow, then begins the big ‘ol cleanup ordeal and putting everything away before Sunday. So far, I’ll admit, we’ve kept fairly well on top of things so it’s not been too bad. Still, Friday and Saturday will require a little more spit shine to get thing back to normal.
Off to work soon!
Have a great Thursday all!
