Shaving adventures of a Milkcrate

Hey Tim! I used the PAA brush warmer this morning, with a 2BED synth. Very nice! Your posting helped me make up my mind, and I think the boars will hold warmth even better. Thanks for the nudge!

I used mine again with the TGN boar and it was nice! I’m glad you like it, I wouldn’t take for mine.

The Deets-
So we’ll start with Saturday and throw all the deets here. I was really looking forward to the Boker shave. I had another Boker at one time, not fancy like this one, and PIFed it away. So I was stoked. When I ran the razor across my arm hair, I knew I was in for a rodeo. So hold my beer and watch this.

You know how some people chase the baby? And some people catch the baby? Well … I dropped the baby. The baby fell, hit the corner of the changing table, did a summersault and face planted on the floor. Oh … dang! That was a rough shave and I may have done as well with a shard of glass. So … I may send that one to Doc226 for a JNat edge. I left that shave defeated.

Today I wanted to smell the DR Harris Windsor again. So with a hardware change, The Fat and Windsor got the nod. Great shave! Three smooth passes and I am BBS for the win! Very nice! I am going to have to try the other DR Harris EdT samples some more. Life is good!

Home Front-
So when the rain came in, we had another vagrant try and take up residence in the garage. Took a day and a half, but I got him ran out. I also had more cleanup work outside, which is now done. I also had some more interest in BST stuff, so I will be boxing that up this evening to ship. I think that’s all I have for you.

Ha, you had me going there until I scrolled down! Here I was thinking you had like a carport and some poor soul was moving in! Well, I guess this is a poor soul, too. Maybe he just wanted to bask in the scent of MWF and Dr Harris

The Deets-
Tried this SV sample today. Unfortunately I had already used the aftershave sample with The Fat, so I shaved without an AS. A very nice three pass shave and I am BBS for the win! Wrapped it up with just a post shave lather and that did the trick. Post shave was very nice too. And the missus loves this one. She requested the Desert Vetiver samples for tomorrow. Life is good!
