AKA requisite box of randomly ordered Amazon items.

- Electrical testers because let’s face it, one you’ve watched someone change a light fixture, you’re pretty much a pro.

- Flitz to polish up my kitchen knife from Shawn because it didn’t get put away properly and got some surface rust; actually pretty easy process of hand buffing.

- Rechargeable LED flashlight for the house since my Maglite LED corroded over and stopped working.

- Leather pen sleeve so I can be a bit more comfortable carrying one around in a pocket.

- Also got a Amazon Basics keyboard and mouse set for my oldest, who we got a CanaKit for Christmas...side benefit, it also might work for the PS4.
 
WCS Lithe razor head. The finish is a little rough, but it seems safe. Blade gap looks greater than my 68 Gamechanger, not sure what it measures. Does not feel well clamped, either, so that might play a role.

I'm not going to lie, I'm a little intimidated. Hopefully it's a nice smooth shave... Or I have my insurance card handy for the ER visit. [emoji1787]

Nope, it's Zamak.

Yes, I understand you need to make sure it's completely covered or it corrodes fast. Still they put enough on it that you can see texture and imperfections. They really should have polished it down.

I'm more worried on the flappy blade feel and the larger than expected gap.

If you'd still pray for me, I'd appreciate it. Tomorrow night is showtime. Lol.

Have a 48" Roku TV. They are awesome. Great integration of the Roku and input switching. Good picture and sound. Reviews seems stellar across the board for all official TV's tagged Roku (from those I've read).

Should be a great watching experience. [emoji1303]

Well, today I got Noble Otter Monarch from @Bogeyman 's BST (thanks Man!). Glad I got a chance to pick this soap up. Good smell, great performance... A awesome addition to my den. [emoji1303]

I also shaved with the Lithe. As I suspected, the blade gap, along with the poor blade rigidity, made for quite an aggressive feeling shave. I could take my fingernail and easily wiggle the blade protruding from the razor, like it was barely clamped in. I can't do that with any of my others (game changer, post-war tech, Rockwell).

The shave was fairly efficient, albeit very uncomfortable feeling. I stopped at XTG and went with my GC 68 for ATG / cleanup. I just didn't feel safe using this razor ATG with how flappy that blade was.

At $10 shipped, it was worth trying. However, this razor head will be relegated to a drawer until I get another PIF together. [emoji16]
 
Loads of stuff in today.

First up is my fire shirt of the month. Newport News FD, Virginia I love the design.

@Cvargo also sent me a death trap for a stunt shave that will happen next week and a Cadre sticker that will go on one of my cups.

And last is my purchase from @elmerPHuD, which I neglected to take pictures of. Eleven - Blue Spruce (amazing and @NurseDave worthy if he hasn't tried it already) and Pinaud Whiskey Woods.
