Nice shave Chris. And do what you will with this information, but there is a YouTube video on how to make a hidden door...

Lol, thanks Pat! Hey, if hidden doors shore up the wallet at the same time, I'm all for it!
Very nice shave!
On the PIF thing, I’m the same way. But it’s yours to do with as you wish. And the group buy is a once in a lifetime thing ... so.
I was going to pass on it myself, just because I didn’t want to be greedy with a personal want. When I was reading the thread, the missus saw the brush. I was reading the description:
High Mountain White Badger ... crickets
Custom Pewter crown ... crickets
Olive wood handle from Israel ... the misses said get it.
I tried to counter with the cost argument, but she wasn’t having it. So I am now on the list.

My thoughts exactly on the PIFed stuff. This is a big opportunity.
So Tim, is the brush gonna be for you, or for her?
For me brother, she is a synthetic brush girl. She leaves my brushes alone, but soap is fair game.

Anything I may have gifted is yours to do what you need to, to make this happen Chris. This is too big, I'd hate you to miss out man

Shave #166 (413 Open Blade Shaves) of 2020:
Gear: Blackland Vector, Feather Pro blade, Paladin Harlequin Chief 26mm, CBL Cherry Blossom & Bamboo, homemade witch hazel/aloe mix, Lucky Tiger AS, and ADG Absolu Instinct to finish!
Corona Virus Official Day 91:
Another kid-alarm clock morning. This time someone dumped all the waffles on the floor...5 second rule (OK it was more like 1 minute in this scenario...)!
Nice shower n shave this morning. Contemplated some of my gear/software as I looked for my morning set up. What to keep and what to try and sell? Hard choices.
Setup worked great! Only got bit once under the nose, going ATG, because of a particularly resistant hair that made the blade hesitate for a millisecond.
High chances of a Bingo winner today! Exciting!
About to sit down to service online. Have to finish up watering the lawn today. Other than that, should be a nice day. Back to work tomorrow...ugh.
Have a blessed Sunday all!

Nice read Chris
I had a Gunnery Sergeant in the Marine Corps tell me once, "God made dirt, so dirt don't hurt!" These are words I have lived by much of my life. You 5 second rule (1 minute really) would be more like my 10 second rule (really five minutes).

nice Video Chris, and hair looks good 5 or 6 on top??

Thanks, I think it’s OK. I’d prefer a little more length on top, but the clipper tops out at 8, which is what you see. 8 on top and .5 on the sides.

Shave #168 (413 Open Blade Shaves) of 2020:
Gear: Schick L Injector, Supply/Personna blade, Sorrentino TSC 1st Anniversary badger brush, CBL Money tonsorial, homemade witch hazel/aloe mix, Pinaud Citrus Musk, and PR 1 Million to finish!
Corona Virus Official Day 93:
Up n at em today. I was pretty tired after the first shift back yesterday. We put in a solid 7 hours or so. I expect today to be the same.
Nice shower n shave. My PR 1 Million sample finally kicked the dust, which means that Tuesdays, if I want to continue the same “fresh” theme, I will go back to using the clone. Haven’t used it in months, hopefully it’s still good! The Supply/Personna blade is still a little rough, even with a few shaves under its belt, but it does get the job done I guess.
That’s about all I got right now...off to it!
Have a great Tuesday all!

Shave #169 (413 Open Blade Shaves) of 2020:
Gear: RR GC .68, Sputnik blade, Sorrentino TSC 1st Anniversary badger brush, CBL Barbershop, homemade witch hazel/aloe mix, Fine Platinum AS, and Fine Platinum EDT to finish!
Corona Virus Official Day 94:
Yep...I’m feeling the lack of major activity for the last three months now. Probably hasn’t helped that I’m still getting to bed late in efforts of trying to still spend as much time with the missus as possible. It’s worth it though.
Nice wake up call this morning though with a shave and Fine Platinum combo! That older AS really packs a menthol punch! The Sputnik is on its second shave I think. Definitely not the sharpest, but it did it’s duty and it’s still more smooth than the Personna jectah blades.
Enjoying a cup of iced coffee n heavy whip before heading out the door.
We’re a little bit behind on our “ideal” cleaning schedule. It’s OK though, we’re still on track to have way more than what’s necessary done by the end of the week. The official start date for services gives as an extra week for whatever else on top of that, so all will be well.
Normal Wednesday night Zoom calls later.
Guess it’s that time to head out the door.
Have a great Wednesday all!

Ha. You said duty.
You'll get back into the swing of things for sure. You know what to do today.
