What’s new to you?

A couple of things came in yesterday while I was at work.

Parameduck! I didn't even know it existed until @uacowboy found it. Haha. Thanks, Kyle!

And a GEM in pretty good condition. I know little to nothing about this particular model so I'll be doing research while I'm pretending to do stuff for work.

I suspect that I have a package from KJ waiting in the front office, I'll check when I wake up from my nap.

Alright, the stuff they I bought from KJ is indeed here. I would've had it sooner, but I worked on Christmas Eve, the office was closed on Christmas, and I worked yesterday. Not to worry!

I'm actually kinda love Jack Frost; it reminds me a lot of arroz con leche (mexican rice pudding). I regret not buying a set of First Snow when I could. Arko is necessary because reasons. And I've been wondering what Money smelled like since I PIFed my puck in a new member PIF.

Thank you to my friendly neighborhood @Spider.
 
Received my new Cadre Mug!

A belated Xmas gift, due to shipping times. It's also only the 11oz version, so better for hot cocoa then coffee. Still, I proceeded to use it immediately. [emoji16]

Completely forgot about these 2 other items that came in yesterday via our vaunted US Mail service. They are both new to me although I’ve tried a couple of other Dorco branded blades but, the Titan here is a mystery. Made in Vietnam with a double Platinum Coating for smoothness and longer blade life. The Dumante is a complete blind buy as I’ve never heard of the brand before. All I know is that they are manufactured in China and have 2 different descriptions alluding to that they are SS with Platinum Coating and simultaneously Teflon Coated as well. Who freakin knows with the Dumante as it was dirt cheap for under $8 a pack of 100. The Dorco was just a $buck more. I’ll find out in the next week or so after a few days run with a couple of SE’s for now....

Well...those will make for some economical shaves in your $$$$ razors if nothing else!
 
@GearNoir you asked about this shirt like two months ago 🤣 I'm just now getting around to posting it.

Dallas Fire Department, Station 26. I haven't done a lot of research on this station, but I hear it's not on a great side of town; I could be wrong - I know absolutely nothing about Dallas.

I hope you will pardon the wrinkles, it's been sitting in a ball for a few days. 😔
