I did it. I Sammed this whole vacation and 3017’d the rest of this sample. I hope he’s as proud of me as I feel he should be. Now making our way slowly to the airport and reuniting with the cats and hopefully a new razor and a couple of watches.

Too Much Information under the wrong circumstances could raise your blood pressure.
How is the razor?

Did my three shaves on his blade with the Hone to see how it was over time. I would say my assessment IN MY VIDEO BRUCE, stayed about the same.
I don't know how often I would reach for this one as it's just too heavy to be the perfect experience. I likely will try the handle on some other razors to add some weight to some sissy razors. Hmmm, maybe a Vector/Hone in the future? And that super friction caused by the safety bar is less than optimal.

Boom! 1800 straight days. 25 more will make it 5 years. Every time I use one of Graydog's brushes I wonder about him. He came to the cadre, handed out free brushes right and left and then disappeared. I hope he knows his beautiful work is being used and appreciated.

Boy, I smell manly. Woods, leather, gunsmoke. Mowed my whiskers down to a smoothness not seen in the wild west since young Sally Walker took her....well, I can't say here what sweet Sally Walker did. I'll just say it was a lovely shave. The oldest and her friend are in the 2nd week of their European vacation. They are finally being taught the lesson of "nothing is going to go wrong" is total BS and we're not all that stupid for planning for the possibilities of things going wrong. They got bumped from their first few flights because they were on standby (because of deals the friend's family can get). Finally, the friend's mom traveled with them to London to get them higher on the standby list and then she turned around and came right back. Then their flight out of London was canceled, and they ended up having to stay a day and a night in Heathrow. Which ended up being better than the 2 nights they were originally told. Things were going okay until a day trip to Rome which landed the friend in the hospital there with heat stroke. Silly ole parents tried to tell them not to try to do everything.

So yesterday's shave suuuuuuucked. Lots of tugging. I even took the blade out and flipped it over in case I got a bum edge. Nope, just too mild of a blade for this type of shave. Switched to the old tried and true today and it was beautiful. I do need to know from @GearNoir what the appropriate number of sprays is from a sample. The stroke volume on the spritzer is minimal so I used about 47 squirts. Or half the sample.
This is one of those odd work days. Seems like half the staff is off, My boss of course sees it like any other day. And I figure I should be allowed to show up in shorts. "Why do we have to wear pant" will certainly be a topic at some point on the Drinks and Dave show.

Not wanting to see your unshaven kiwis might be reason enough.
First, you're making an assumption there. 2nd, I do hope you'll be able to join us when it's discussed so you can join in!
