[GearNoir]

A full 3 SR passes? Way to go Rich!

Hope the upcoming doc visit doesn’t set you back too far. Chin up brother!

 

[NurseDave]

Rich, you "DA MAN!"

 

[BarberDave]

Awesome brother, you need some of that Arizona Sun to recoup and Some Sonoran HotDogs from El Guerro Canelo to make you right as Rain

 

[dangerousdon]

That's a great milestone Rich!

Comments: Momma and I were binge watching some Star Trek last night so I felt inspired to use my most wicked looking Gold Dollar razor the GDSW59. A highly stylized razor with a very wicked Spanish point that looks ready to amputate anything it takes a mind to. Contrary to the reputation of being a razor forged of Chinesium steel, this is actually a pretty good razor. Maybe a little thick, but the steel takes a good edge and it doesn't exude the aura of cheapness that the early Gold Dollar razors did.

The Hardware: As I mentioned before this isnt the average el cheapo del grande razor that GD usually grans out. I believe they were out to prove something here. This is a bona fide chunk of quality steel here and it tood a dared god edge. I'll give it a much closer examination later. But for now, despite the slightly bizarre look, it's a good razor and delivers a decent shave whatever one might relate to the gold Dollar moniker.

The Shave: After judicious999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999

Rich, you pass out on the 9 key. Hey you okay ??

It's the floppy arm.

 

[Graybeard57]

Never tried the Stubble Buster. Someday...

 

[SteveChuckFrank]

All caught up Rich! It seems everyone is getting on the straight razor train so I guess I better start practicing!

 

[GearNoir]

I have that same GD sitting unused I’m my drawer...that point is scary! Some sloppy spine work on it, but it is a nice, hefty hunk of steel.

 

[Majorrich]

Sorry Guys! I actually did pass out on the keyboard. A combination of muscle relaxers and Pain killers, and fatigue make for an unpredictable outcome. It appears after a certain number of characters the computer assumes you want to enter! Im trying to recreate what I was trying to say, but I was in the process of konking out so I guess we will never know!

 

[woodpusher]

That's concerning .... and yet, more than slightly hilarious to envision!
I'm guessing tomorrow is a no-straight day?

 

[Majorrich]

No shave at all tomorrow. It has been so ordained by SWMBO

 

[GearNoir]

That has Yoko written all over it. She really was a poison on the Beatles.

 

[woodpusher]

Rich! You made iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!

 

[BarberDave]

That has Yoko written all over it. She really was a poison on the Beatles.

indeed she was, but with the Nueve Passout of 2019 ( as it will be remembered in the archives) I had to place it, LOL Glad you made it!

 

[Majorrich]

The therapist today told me to NEVER take those meds at same time! My reckoning is it is dangerous. Good thing I wasn’t driving!
