Hi,

Woo Hoo! Last Payment!

Still in. Had a great shave today with the Gillette Red Tip and a Minora stainless.

 

[Ad Astra]

Thanks! It's a huge relief.

I've been wanting a copper razor so I bought the one from Phoenix so now I'm officially out

Supercongrats on the financial accomplishment!

Now. I'm pretty sure there was a tentacle creature that fatally sucked salt from an Enterprise crewman's tissues... Or was it actually copper?

That would be the M-113 creature, aka "Salt Vampire". It's queued up. Or did you want to sic it on @Heron? He's not on the list as an official victim, oops, participant.

Stardate 121101.3
Razor: P&G Gillette Super Blue
Blade: Astra Superior Stainless
Brush: Omega 10049 Boar
Soap: Arko Shaving Soap Stick
Balm: Duke Cannon - Ice Cold



Another great week of shaves with no serious temptations. My wish list is still full, but my shopping cart is still empty. Be well and stay safe. Crewman #13 still in...

Stardate 98876.01 and still on mission.

I really like the Karve. I understand why it has fanboys. I did an effortless and comfortable three pass DFS using the SB-A plate. No drama.

» Leaf w/Gillette Platinum “Blue” (6) - headshave only
» Karve SB-A w/Wizamet Super Ir (2) - cheeks, neck and goatee trim
» Zenith MC/BO3-A26 (aka B19)
» Black Bot CK-6
» Thayers Unscented Witch Hazel

I hope you all are having a great weekend!

I just had my first real twinge of desire since January. I’ve been in GRUMES since September. I was looking up the dimensions of the the B19 and spent 30 minutes lusting after the other boars on the page. I almost fell into the alien boar trap.

I was just trying to be helpful.

No, I guess it could just be held in reserve for the next unfortunate crewmember that goes for a PAA seasonal soap (they're so good!)

There's a good reason I quit flying in space in the 1960s, too many "fascinating" hazards.

I’m out.
1st time in a long long time I bought something.
Maybe 4 or 5 years.

That was...unexpected. You're the man who's got everything he needs in the way of supplies. There's even a spare refrigerator for shaving soaps!

 

[martym]

Just one of those things.
But no alcohol was involved.
I was/am completely in possession of all my faculties.
It’s all good.

Latest casualty report follows.

Crewman @martym was standing guard in the pergium production facility on planet Janus VI when he was suddenly attacked and dissolved by a horta.

All casualty reports should now be up-to-date.

The Horta! A particularly bad way to go. Sympathies.

Wonder if there are silicone-based shave soaps?

Ship's log; crewman #martym was the latest casualty on the mission.

Hi,

Ok. That's enough. To everyone left: Take Off Those Red Shirts!

It is getting to be too much of a horror show. I guess if somebody leaves the sabbatical, we could just have Charlie X make them "go away," but I was hoping to save Charlie for the 2nd quarter check-in.

Charlie has got to be the most obnoxious character of the original series, also. Teenagers!

 

[Ruva]

I always aim for a DFS. Nothing special, I just pick up the razor and get going. At the end of this morning's shave, I was surprised to feel that I got a BBS shave. A nice and unexpected surprise.
Still In.

Gillette NDC SuperSpeed
Astra SS
Proraso White

Hi,

I kinda didn't like the Friendly Angel more so than Charlie....I think....

Aw, heck. Just toss em both into the Beserker!

Still in.

Kamisori shave #11
Feather Professional blade #1

2 Pass + touch up BBS

Got some cut and weepers today, learned a few things about the reduction of pressure with the use of sharper blades.

Aftershave provided a lovely (bloody painful) feedback, and reminded me why I couldn't finish this bottle in last 8 years.

Hopefully tomorrow will be a better shave.

Been a few days since my last shave, the D plate was fantastic for the first two passes, and the B plate was great at batting cleanup!
Have a great day y’all!
