Trials of a woodpusher: Adventures in chess, backyard gardening, and maybe whisker chopping

Aug.04 Slim@4/Personna(6) .......... EJ STF synth .... Captains Choice 45th Parallel ... Captains Choice Venture balm

With the Slim, I think I have found my backup DE to the ASD2. I've had several Slims over the years, even having a birth year+quarter one, and found them to be wonderful razors. During one of my Great Purges, I sold off all my razors with the exception of my Injector and my Sensor (for when I needed to travel with just a carry-on). Happy to have returned to this razor once again.

Sensor

The best cart I ever owned, and I had several over the years. The Sensor's narrow head made maneuvering around the upper lip and nose a cinch. In fact, the narrow head on the Vector reminds me of the Sensor, and was the deciding factor in my purchase of one, price notwithstanding.

A nice morning shave today, even with it being shave#7 on the blade. I guess it is time to start getting things ready for the road trip tomorrow. My plan is to take my Injector, but I could always swap that for the very travel-friendly Sensor, or maybe even not carry any razor at all and just go hobo for 2+ weeks?

Safe travels Sam!

Is it just me or is this Hobo Trend the shaving forum equivalent to when MTV switched to during reality tv instead of music videos?

Crisis averted. The Injector is packed.

I think I saw that movie!

An excellent choice, sir!

Looking to be up to 104F (40C) with the humidex throughout the weekend while we're on the road. Even with the AC, we're gonna cook / air-fry.

I would pick the 40 degree reading and bring a coat

Here's a look I haven't seen on Sam yet

 

[woodpusher]

Psst. There's a good reason for that.

 

[BarberDave]

That is some great Fade work.

I’m washing and ironing in solidarity. It’s work clothes day!

What's a "work clothes"????

It’s a non-retired person thing…you wouldn’t understand.
