All caught up Cadre! I have been enjoying the smoker and jawing about all things other than shaving for a bit. Need to get back to it! Stay safe!

Never tried the Kai DE blades. Maybe when I run out of what I'm using.

Hey Bruce they live in the same realm as Feather when it comes to sharpness. Also, they are a bit stiffer. I like them in certain razors and have a bunch...but I have a bunch of many. I can throw a couple of tucks in the mail for ya!

Well, thank you, Ed! I'll PM you. 😀
 
A relaxing Sunday shave. Been a bit since I put a Nacet into a razor and @woodpusher seems to be enjoying them so why not today. The Rocket HD is a perfect all around razor. Great weight, construction and mild. They did them right.

My Crown Royal Peach whisky* review was covered in the Zoom call. In a nutshell, shoot it like medicine. Don't swish'n'swirl it around on your tastebuds. The quick down-the-hatch approach is how I will be addressing the bottle.

Life is to short to drink bad whisk(e)y. Just dump it and move on or gift it to a neighbor your not that fond of.
 
He'll be 45 next month but I bet that I currently have better cardio than he does. Ball skills are an entirely different matter. 😜
 
Oh yeah in a straight line no problem…just hope it isn’t BBQ you are trying to out run him to! All kidding aside, also one of the greatest players of the game.
