Picked up some Tabac and PdP 63. Looking forward to trying both. The PdP smells very similar to the SV Felce; one of my favorites.

I like those times...but then I'm getting kinda crusty and cantankerous. I love that word "cantankerous", rhymes with dangerous....without seeing a single soul.
I think those times of solitude does highlight how blessed we are and the things that we do take for granted. Go without for a while and we will see how we view those things. These days with the hustle and bustle and the constant stimuli that we experience it is very difficult to see those things. Sometimes it is good to be still and just take it in. This is one thing I like about my lunch time walks. Disconnect, watch things around me and take it all in being thankful.Day 28: Zen & The Art of Grocery Shopping
When I was traveling cross country years ago, there were periods of time when I would go several days without seeing a single soul. When I would re-enter civilization to do something as mundane as buying groceries, I would get true joy from something as simple as finding what I needed on the shelf, or from simple courtesies, like when a cashier said "Thank you, have a nice day".
It is too easy to take for granted the things that give our life context.
Heading out fir a 2 mile walk as I write this.I think those times of solitude does highlight how blessed we are and the things that we do take for granted.

Razer, Blade and Cream Observations | Great blade for the Timeless .95. First time using Tabac. It provided good cushion and lubricated well, but the smell was...like generic hand soap from the dollar store. |
Consistency with prior shave - Same setup | Similar to prior shave, but the blade is turning the corner. One more shave and I think it's probably done |

Wow! That would be UNFRICKINBELIEVABLE! Especially since Ingraham is morally indigestible.It was a bit like watching Laura Ingraham, Joe Rogan and Rachel Maddow come to an agreement on, well, just about anything.
Thanks, guysThe Daily double thread is about using a straight razor for the WTG pass and then a DE for subsequent passes or clean up. I imagine some use two DEs because ATG calls for a different type of adhesion maybe? Or because they use a smaller razor for the moustache area - like Dave @Whiterook does.
Cheers,
Guido

Maybe we will be sticking our face into a machine and it just rips out all the hair on our face all at once. "BBS for two weeks" is what they will promise. "Disclaimer: You may experience a slight discomfort post hair extraction."If technological advancement grows exponentially (as appears to be the case), what might removing stubble look like in a hundred years? Would we even recognize our 500-year-future-descendants? At what point might our kin log into a "personal presenation center" to configure what they wish to look like for the day? "Brown hair or blonde? Hmm. Let's go with auburn. Beard? Not today. Goatee? Yes, that's it. BBS around the goatee. Commit."
Probably better than being a red light special........just sayingYour story of parents not always being the experts reminded me of the Calvin and Hobbs strips when the dad filled Calvin with some BS. Haha.

My first pharmacist job was with K-Mart in Bay City Texas. Right outside of Houston, they said, it would be great they said. Nah, it wasn't. And I learned that one shouldn't purchase Blue Light Special Jalapeno nachos. Those bad boys talked to me all night long. Haha.My grandfather Jim loved the Blue Light Specials at K Mart.
He used to take me there all the time back in the '80s.
My dad worked for K-Mart for several years, probably 18 total with a 3 year break in the middle. He quit getting food from the cafe when he saw them rinsing the mold off the jello and putting it back out.My first pharmacist job was with K-Mart in Bay City Texas.
