Nurse Dave's Journal

[Bill M]

I swear your honor, I have no recollection of the incident.

And , it is completely unconscionable how anyone could confuse luxury British automobiles with LoDallah American Tinbox era wheelie things with the names of shaving tools.

I plead guilty to getting up in the middle of the night so I could get hundred bucks off of a Rolls Royce Chevette though.

@Scuttlesoap I at least try to feign restraint even when a purchase is inevitable

 

[Scuttlesoap]

You definitely have more restraint than me my friend! But…..in the end - you just delayed the inevitable!

This is usually the case. Or my other M.O. is not buy things I’m jonesing for and end up buying other stuff spur of the moment.

I’m just glad I can’t afford the other things I’m jonesing for lol - and looking at those things - most are impractical

 

[NurseDave]

most are impractical

Those are the best ones!

Y'all are talking about Tedaluses and here I am trying to convince myself to add the $18 Kai Captain clone when I place an order from CBL.

Why does @Scuttlesoap not have this scent yet? Racquets was a winner of a blind buy (thank goodness) based on the scent notes. The lemon does a nice job of standing in the front of the blend.

That reminds me, I need to get a tub for the Felce Aromatica that I scored.

Looking back on 2021, I clearly need to shake up the razor selection. At least in the DE arena. And to show my shaving prowess, I got the dolphins screaming with this cheap plastic remnant of the communist dollar tree.

 

[GearNoir]

Who is this thrifty shaver…and what has he done with Dave?!

 

[woodpusher]

Dave is taking a Nkap, knap, err, nap!
