The Deets-
Look out Cub Scouts, we got a three-peat. So … no shave joy this morning, I may or may not have hit snooze one too many times. IKR?! But fear not, I channeled my inner Bruce. Leaving the office I cranked some Rage Against the Machine, punched the Sport Mode button and launched towards home base. I scored a pre-dinner BBS for the win! The missus and the doggo deserve my best. Life is good!

I don’t want to disagree, but it seems like the pooch doesn’t give two hoots.

The Deets-
So the Gold Rex that was on deck today is one that I scored several years ago, in a lot of small Japanese razors. Unfortunately, I got rid of the others. But this one I let my stepson try and he found it after unpacking from a move. It’s a tiny thing and is a 4/8. Not sure if it was used for shaving or hair shaping. Anyway, it still had the Method edge I put on it, so I thought I would try it. After using 5/8 and 6/8, it feels really small but it delivered a nice shave. And of course … Bay Rum for the win! Life is good!

 

[GearNoir]

Very nice find Tim! Glad it survived the move!

 

[Graybeard57]

And of course … Bay Rum for the win! Life is good!

I love some quality bay rum.

Does this soap smell like a sports car?

Does this soap smell like a sports car?

Uh … no. Not there is anything wrong with the smell of a classic sports car.

BTW great looking car. I also liked the old Triumphs and MGs but never owned either one.

Never owned a Triumph. Had an unreliable 1962 Alfa Romeo Spyder that broke down when I was across state from home. Traded the car for a bag of something illlegal, and hitchhiked home the next day. It was the '70s.
