Interesting. Not what I would have expected from that name.

Rumor is he starred in his own film as Bond. His guns were filled with whipped cream and….well I’ve probably already said too much.

The Deets-
Very nice late morning shave. Who am I kidding … it was glorious! I was going through my BSTP (buy, sell, trade or PIF) box and came across this New LC. It didn’t make the initial cut when I was thinning down to 5 DE razors. I snagged it, dropped a feather in it and got too it. I loaded heavy with a wet brush and I was messy. I have recently been starting with a drier brush and building lather slower, but today I pulled out the stops and got full on messy. Slinging very wet lather everywhere and it was awesome!
The New gave me three smooth, easy passes and I am BBS for the win! The New and Feather combination is awesome! Wrapped everything up with a splash of the aftershave and everything was right as rain! Yes it was. Simply outstanding! I think I will have to keep this razor. Life is good!
Home Front-
Today was the first and only grandsons first birthday. So I headed to East Texas for that and to see my wife. Had a good time, but I hope those East Texas fools have been taking their Ivermectin. I guess so, because the missus has avoided getting sick so far. It was a good time. While I was there, I got a call from my stepdad but didn’t know it until I got home.
So my Stepdad called me Monday to tell me he tested positive for COVID. He was showing no sighs, but had a headache. He was cavalier about the whole thing with wearing a mask, from the beginning. I knew it was a matter of time. So he called tonight to say that him and my mom are bad sick. Great. They have both had the vaccine so hopefully that will lessen the impact. But. Great!
Hope your parents get well soon. I’m just getting over it. I too had the vaccine and I believe it really helped. Are they going to get the antibody infusion? That will help immensely if so.
If you have any questions feel free to PM me.

Geez, Tim, I don't whether that was a post to give a 
to for the grandson's birthday (congrats!) of a 
for you mom and stepdad's situation.
Either way, you should be using the yellow Feathers rather than the Black ones. They're MUCH better because the 10-blade yellows cost twice as much per pack as the 5-blade blacks!

Continued prayers for the family Tim. This stuff just ain’t giving y’all any breaks at all!
Thanks Gents!
I’m not sure about the antibody infusion. I’ll have to ask about that.
Happy BDay to your grandson! I hope your parents stay healthy! Positive energy coming your way!
Thanks Brian!

Sorry to hear about your parents Tim. Hopefully the vaccine lessens the symptoms.
Thanks Steve!
Thank you Sir!
I second the antibody therapy.
Hope all is as good as it could be.
