Ramblings of a MilkCrate

Great news on your granddaughter!

Wow on East Texas! I always keep up hope that we’ll get out of this - but with Medical professionals giving advice that is in conflict with every expert (and what we’ve seen just from anecdotal observation) - I don’t know if I should be optimistic.

On a lighter note - I’ll address this when I am emperor err President. Under the United States Of Scuttlesoap (USS - so the Navy doesn’t have to repaint the names on their ships) - I’ll rule with an iron fist………but on the positive side for you - everyone gets a stainless steel razor of their choice

The Deets-
TGIF! I wrapped up the week with straight razor shaves and they were nice! Dang it, now that I am trying to wrap up this soap I am digging the scent even more. Oh well, the rotation is still stocked with goodness, when I get back to it. I have also rocked the brush warmer this week. Man, that hot lather is some goodness! Hit the soap and loaded up some creamy goodness for my shave.

20 laps on linen and 60 on leather and it was go time. I went with my standard three passes of WTG, XTG and ATG with no drama to report. I still have a good edge on this one, but may hit the Ark with it this weekend. I have a few others to do also. Skipped the Witch Hazel most of the week. Wrapped everything up with a splash of the aftershave and everything was right as rain! Ah … the simple pleasures. Life is good!

Home Front-
So … it’s been a hot mess this week at the office. Thankfully several unplanned outages have forced us to postpone a scheduled outage for this weekend. Had to have a plumber out to the house the other day because everything was draining slow. We are on septic and there is a break in the main pipe and mud had fallen in. Have that temporarily fixed because the correct fix will be about 2k … yuck. Also had our water trough drain plug break, with no parts available to fix. So … the horses have a new trough.

And the good news. I was sent a Genco Henry XX razor. Not sure if it was originally a 4/8, but it is now. Any additional info would be appreciated. Needs a good cleaning and a trip to the stones. I was also gifted a puck of Stirling Intrepid Man from Bruce. Thank you again Bruce! Off the puck it smells really nice. Can’t wait to try it. I have a tub coming soon for this one, from the misses. She is wrapping up one of her Stirling soaps. I still need a tub for my Felce Aromatica. Where do you guys get the clear or white tubs with the black lids? I think that’s all I have today.
 
Hey…a Friday that’s actually a Friday! Don’t see that too often around here 😜

Sorry for your fix-it woes.

Yea, I use repurposed CBL tubs too for my loose pucks!

I am cool with repurposing. How do you get the original scent out?

Oh my, I have not been updating my journal … my bad. I had been using the straight, but needed a quick shave before going into the office today. So the Slim got the nod. It was a great three pass shave and I am BBS for the win! Wrapped everything up with the aftershave and everything was right as rain! You know what’s next. Life is good!
 
Deets! ... Finally!
I think I've found out why my sleep has been so restless these past few nights. I'm looking forward to a solid slumber tonight!
