Ran the same setup through the end of the work week. The Slim is the first vintage Gillette that I bought and it delivers great shaves. The rest of the kit performs very well also, with no slouches in the rotation. I now have a hole in the bottom of the soap, but it’s high on the sides so there is a ways to go.

I went with my standard three passes of WTG, XTG and ATG with no drama to report. A nice smooth shave and I am BBS for the win! A splash of Thayers after that. I followed that up with a splash of the aftershave and everything was right as rain! A really nice wrap up to the week. Life is good!

Home Front-
The eldest granddaughter is recovering from Covid. Luckily she didn’t get hit too hard. And now my son-in-law has it. That’s different households in different cities. We are getting some weight put on the draft horse too. I had a mail call today from SV also. I think that’s all I have for you today.
