Uh-oh! The old Flaming Bag of Poop Deck. Don't stomp on it! Remember the RACE acronym in case of fire (Run Away, Call an Expert). I know @bentheduck is familiar with this one.
Never heard of it. I'm not expert enough. 
You sound surprised...

The protocol for a hospital fire is:
Rescue
Alarm
Contain
Extinguish or Evacuate
I prefer mine.

I thought you might be reliving Taco Tuesday.

No tacos for me...it was Spam Musubi. Everything made a proper departure.
That was probably on my state exam. I bet you can guess how much of that information was retained.
Venessa's sister didn't know that somehow, despite those very words are plastered on the side of damn near extinguisher.

Shave #311 (361 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:
Gear: Feather AC SS folding, Feather Pro blade, RR GC .68, Astra SP blade, RR Big Bruce synth brush, CBL Money tonsorial soap, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, and Lucky Tiger AS to finish!
Money shave! Boy was it excellent!
Sitting here, mostly scentless (slight Money smell wafting off the skin), hoping my travel atomizer of Guerlain Vetiver arrives before I have to go to work.
As part of our evenings, the missus and I have been watching The Office. It started off pretty slow, but once you get about half way through the first season, it really picks up. Really been enjoying working out way through it. We can see why it’s a classic!
My Wednesday today, but even though the rest of the work week is long, late shifts because of the concert, there is a light at the end of the road! Three day weekend! Sunday through Tuesday, due to the holiday. Woohoo!
Have a great Thursday all!

Shave #312 (362 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:
Gear: Feather AC SS folding, Feather Pro blade, RR GC .68, Astra SP blade, RR Big Bruce synth brush, CBL Fresh Vetiver soap, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, Speick AS, and Guerlain Vetiver frag to finish!
Slept in after my late work shift. Nice shave to freshen me up.
Most of this gear you’ve seen before, multiple times. Needless to say, great shave, zero issues. So I’ll skip ahead, straight to the frag!
I took a chance a grabbed a 8ml travel atomizer “sample” of Guerlain Vetiver from a decant vendor on the bay. What sealed the deal was not only the rating of the vendor, but thanks to a coupon, I only paid $5 shipped.
The atomizer is nice, hope it lasts for some reuse. Plastic pump, but feels solid with an aluminum jacket surrounding and glass vial for the liquid. The case twists to hide or expose the pump.
The juice itself - opens with a very heavy lemony hit, probably sits there for a good 10 minutes before slowly fading. Then the nice, clean Vetiver scent comes out to play. Fine Accoutrements Clean/Green Vetiver NAILED the dry down scent meticulously with their AS. Guerlain might have a tad more depth, but if you wanted the scent without the lemony opening, Fine would do you fine. I sprayed myself a bit liberally post shave. Unfortunately I don’t have anyone else around at this moment to tell me how much projection I’m at 2 hours later, but from my own senses (which we all know can be quite faulty when absorbed in a scent) I get the occasional whiff from movement and can easily grab the scent from a whiff a couple inches off the wrist. This is all frag in skin, I did not spray any on my shirt (went so far as to leave my shirt off until I felt no frag juice would transfer to it). The scent is great, clean, light (without being airy), crisp...I imagine this could be worn any time of the year. I’ll try to remember to report back on longevity this evening. I am definitely happy with this purchase, more testing required to see if the full size will be worth purchasing (though at $35ish I can’t imagine it not being!).
Another long night tonight, even having to go in a bit later to reduce overtime.
Have a great Friday all!
