Ahhhhh now I get it. I’m not a gun guy, but that looks like it would be all kinds of illegal in NJ ???.

California too. Heck some of my pistol cases state “Not for sale in California”.

I have a few friends that are big collectors and they sometimes complain to me about the strict laws here. Apparently a law was recently passed that lowered the legal size of the magazine down to 10 rounds I think.

Woke up this morning and was on schedule, so I had time for a shave. I think I read somewhere that we could have a cheat day on the 3017, so why not today? With that in mind, I changed a few things up and reached for a soap/AS set that I haven't used in some time. That's right folks, today I am breaking out the GTB. It was above 70 degrees yesterday and in the 30's today. Such a temp change demanded a change in my shaving routine. Although I haven't used this one much lately, it definitely has a place in my den. Upon opening the tub, I knew I was long overdue in using this one. So I grabbed the Omega boar and got down to business. Loaded the brush for 30 seconds and whipped up a really nice lather. It really doesn't need 30 seconds, but it's been a while, so I splurged. I had almost forgotten how easily the lather builds and how intoxicating the scent can be.
Went with 50 laps on the leather strop and it was go time. I went back to my three pass method of WTG, XTG and ATG and have no drama to report. It was a great shave and I didn't find the cut that the Boker had delivered a few days ago. That may have been due to the protection and glide that this soap delivers. Or it could have been because I slowed back down and was paying attention to my angles. Looking back, I had been speeding up my shaves and my angle was off on that stroke with the Boker. Anyway, I walked away with a BBS for the win!
Wrapped it up with a splash of water and a drip dry. Given the current weather, the house was a little cooler. That made for a brisk drying time. Just to preserve that icy cold goodness a bit longer, I went with a glug of the AS. And oh yeah, you can guess it ... everything was right as rain! Great way to start the day before heading out in the rain. Overcast, scattered showers, cold with a windchill ... Life is good!
