I know, you all keep checking in to see if I'll hit 100 SE shaves before the end of the year for the triple digit hat trick. Well, not today my friends. Wanted to get a little more time with the Variant. Which I haven't even used 5 times yet. I forgot the Personna is NOT the blade for me in that razor. Amazing how different even good blade can be in different razors. Love this razor with a Feather. Hate it with a Personna. I almost stopped after the 3rd pass to change blades, but I toughed it out to see what the end results were. The shave was painful with a lot of tugging. But the end result was A very nice BBS with no Alum sting.
Half of a string of lights went out on the house. My wife is hoping they will get replaced. I'm hoping Christmas comes fast enough I don't have to and I'll just toss em when I take them down.
Spent some time in the kitchen making treats for Christmas. My mom is always the one to make many different things to grab on your way through the kitchen and fill dessert trays. So that aspect is sorely missing when we do Christmas at our house. She's going to bring down a couple of things, but I thought I'd step it up this year.
