So.....I got to go see Duran Duran last night here in Vegas. Such a great show. They sounded great, they looked great and the filled arena was having a fantastic time. Also got to see living legend, Nile Rogers. He played a few songs from his band Chic and then launched into an extended medley of some of the number 1 hits he's written and produced over the years for other artists. We Are Family, Upside Down, Let's Dance, Like A Virgin....like I said, living legend.
Sometime ago I stumbled upon a straight razor on the bay that looked like something I should buy.....since it had my last name on it!!! I was able to get it and I asked our good friend @Luecke3262 to have a look at it to see if it could get some cleaning up so that I could make it a display piece for the new shave den. After some time Matt let me know that it was never going to be a shave ready razor (not a problem since I only wanted to display it) but he said he would clean it up as best he could. Well, it arrived on Monday.....and it's a beautiful piece.....
As you can see...it's a Crosby Special (and I am!). Matt added a pair of soaps and as the reigning Lather Master from the previous TSC Con, I accept his challenge. I might even do a video of the lather attempt....but that will have to wait as I'm off to Los Angeles this upcoming weekend to take my mom to a Dodger game for her 77th birthday.
See ya Later!!

Ah......the weekend. After a long work week (well, shortened by a federal holiday) it's always nice to look forward to a few days off where sleeping in and relaxing is in order....except I find myself more busy this weekend than during the work week. Friday evening I'm going to my Homebrew club's monthly meeting (drinking beer and chatting about beer....not much of a bummer there). Saturday, we're going to the Home Show to look at ideas for fixing up our house. Again....not really a difficult time doing that but it's not sitting around doing nothing. And finally on Sunday, we're going to a minor league baseball game here in town. It's the Las Vegas Stars (the original name of the team) flashback night and I get to break out my LV Stars jersey and get high fives from people that remember the original team. Ok....so I'm not doing anything UN-fun during this weekend but I'm not sitting on the couch doing nothing for 2 days. I will be accepting your condolences as you deem appropriate.
Dude, it's Thursday
Yes....but you'll note that my busy weekend begins on Friday evening. Try to read past the first few words of my journal.
I'll have you know, I read the whole thing thinking, he knows this doesn't start until tomorrow, right? Is he taking tomorrow off? Doesn't look like it. Is he hungover? Possibly. Just going to copy as paste this entry tomorrow? Likely.
Notice how he does not
List the zoom call. Now we know how the TSC rates. It’s called an app, the zoom app, on your phone
What a Stephanie

This was discussed in the Zoom call thread. I don't need you guys talking to the people around me.
Why it would be the highlight of their day
Right? If you haven't been Riched, you don't know what you're missing!
Yeah, some people just don’t have the intestinal fortitude, or adventurous spirit about them. However, the world does need namby-pamby’s.

I mean even Matt @Luecke3262 took us shopping with him. I guess Steven really has more of Stefan “in him” than we thought
We are very simpatico.
Mail call!!
Received my bingo prize from @EMG06 last night. And boy what a prize it is.
Eric left a nice note in the box.
I know some bingo players think he's a mind-bending, puzzle twisting, bingo wizard...but I think Eric is a great guy. I'll stand behind him and defend his Admiral-ness...anytime.
Nicely packed. That red box looks great. And some blades...sweet. But what's in the bubble wrap? Lets see everything unwrapped...
Wow!!! That Simpson is beautiful. Pictures don't even do it justice. The blades are perfectly timed as I'm out of Wilkis and I'm down to the last Kai (I suspect Eric has rigged up a hidden camera in my shave den..... convenient if he's my Rudy buddy....but problematic if he's selling photos of me on the Internet). The Slim is going to get a replate (thanks for the suggestion, Eric!)....maybe some Dodger colors.
Thanks again, Eric. You're the best. Hope I can live up to your game....yours are always challenging and fun.

It is a new house. Never know what the last owners left in the ceiling vents
Hey that new brush you are going on about wasn’t free ya know!
Nice! Also, the I think the date code on the razor is H1, which I believe would date it to first quarter of 1962. Maybe you could repeat the Pantone number again louder for the folks in the back?
You’re very welcome, and you are too kind.
