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

Jan.08: ASD2 w/Dorco Plat(5) .............. RV Shavemac ......... Nivea cream ......................... Nivea Cool Sensitive
Jan.09: ASD2 w/Dorco Plat(6) .............. RV Shavemac ......... Nivea cream ......................... Nivea Cool Sensitive

Almost done with the Dorco Plat blade. Much better than the Crystal IMO.


Wondering if I should join the "1-blade in FEB" challenge. I could use my injector and that would almost be like cheating as I easily go 31 days on a Schick blade. 😜

It's Sunday, which means that this blade is due for retirement. Well, actually, it goes in the blade bank with all the other "I have no more use for you" blades, but I tell them they're going to a nice retirement home with a fishing pond; they don't fight it at that point and by the time they realize they've been duped, I'm long gone. 😜

Up next will be a Polsilver SI blade.

Just tell them it's an "All Inclusive Resort." That should do the trick. Unlimited jello and and low-fat cottage cheese.

Almost zero blade-feel with the Polsilver this morning. I was more than a little skeptical when I put the blade in as the gaps were slightly different on each side. Even reseating the blade 3-4 times and flipping it made no change. Very surprised at how nice the shave ended up being.
 
Received a phone call from my chess club this afternoon; the "normal" one where you play on a board and games only last 3-4 hours, not the correspondence site where games can last 2+ years. 😜 BTW can any chess club actually be considered "normal?" :unsure:

After 10 months of being closed due to Covid, they are starting a regular weekly (or was that bi-weekly? :unsure:) ZOOM call for the members, alternating between instructional/coaching sessions and "get to know your fellow member" sessions. The first ZOOM call will be this Thursday and they've asked me to be the inaugural guest and participate in a Q&A as well as go through a memorable game that I have played. I picked one from 1990 and think that about 2/3s of the club member were not even born then. :ROFLMAO: Hopefully, it will be fun for everyone.

BTW the reason they chose me instead of @Somnos is purely one of remuneration. .... and the geek-factor. Ed doesn't do "chess geek speak" 🤓
