Shaving adventures of a Milkcrate

Love the story! And I learned, I think, what a slot lake is. Maybe. Will this be on the test?

Yes. Especially if the Game Warden shows up.

Good thing about a Monday is it's followed by Tuesday and so on, then eventually we get to a Friday again........

The Details-
Very nice shave. Life is good!

I may have asked this before but I don't know when or where. What is Scarn? It sounds like an Orc cuss word (The Lord of the Rings).

Other wise, nice shave photo!

It’s Stirling’s homage to Dior Sauvage and was released last year. If I remember correctly, I think Rod said the name had something to do with the show “The Office”.

The Details-
Thought I would just keep life simple and use the same kit today. It was a great shave and start to the day. Life is good!

I finally tracked down the artisan that created the Silverloaf wedge. For those that didn’t see my update, it is a 1 of 2 prototype that he sold when in a cash crunch. I can totally relate to that situation. I was seeking him out for information on the razor and he offered to buy it back. How often do you get the chance to get something back that you regretted selling?

All of that to say that I am going to sell it back to him. I used it a few times and actually prefer the smaller hollows better. It also seemed like the right thing to do.

Good man Tim and I hope he appreciates it and holds on to it this time. Treat yourself to something nice after you sell it back
