Me too! KJ never fails I get busy with the kids or something with work during planting or harvest and then just have to skip.
He has a Psycho or IS a Psycho? Lol just kidding.
Have you seen the haunted razor on Ebay? Not sure if it is still there, but was suppost to be a haunted razor lol, not one i would want to shave with. Despite being a wizard, some low indensity light forms are best left alone lol. Razors like this certainly have a cool factor.

Hahaha! Nah, he’s pretty cool. I haven’t seen the haunted razor. I’ll have to look for that. Did the listing give the back story as to why it was haunted? Kind of reminds me of the book Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill. A rockstar that collects weird stuff buys a haunted suit off of the bay and well...the fun ensues haha!
Psycho with a feather! I need to try that one out!
A feather in a Tech always comes highly recommended.
Shave #365 of 2018
2018 shave #365 (DE:140 SE:105 Str:117 Cart:3)
Asylum "The Doctor" RX w/ Feather Proguard (7)
Plissoft 24mm knot in Shave Revolution handle
GTB
Alum
Witch Hazel
Nivea 2:1
GTB AS
GTB EdP
This is a repeat of my first shave of the year. Same brush, razor, soap, AS and EdP. I normally swap out my SE blades after 6 uses and I should have with this one. Got more irritation than is usual. Video posted where I talk more about the experience of trying not to skip a shave for a year.
I tracked types of shave and for the most part razors and blades. Those razors and blades that were just for trial purposes I didn't make tags for in my tracking program.

I never got into journaling til I got here. I should log things more. I'll look for a free app to download to my android phone. Nice stuff Dave
This is very true
I use diaro and paid for the full version so I can update it on my phone or the computer and it will be updated everywhere. I just copy and paste from my journals here and add a few tags to track them.
Just because he has so few vintage razors. He hasn’t explored them enough to find “the one”!

Wonder how long it would take to 3017 a tub of GTB doing just neck shaves?
Since I use about the same amount as when I shave my whole face, probably about the same time lol. I like to lather up my beard. The scent lasts longer that way.

I was about to watch the last video of the year when the kids broke in on me. (Wait that makes it sound like I was doing something strange.)
I might have to get to it tomorrow Dave.
Like the summery. I will try to be more like that in 2019.
Good stuff Dave ,.
@Dave in KY, same thing for me. I never really started till joining the Cadre.
I just found some software that is a journal and inventory that I will forward you tomorrow.
