There once was a man who loved shaving.
He said, "I’ll get through the Sabbatical by trading!"
It was tempting at first,
But not quite the worst,
He couldn't resist other members’ ravings.
Q’apla!

We heard a Klingon from New York,
Say "I'm done, stick me with a fork,
I wish I could stay,
But I'm leaving today,
This restraint is just too much work".

Crewmen, I'm sorry to inform you that there was an unfortunate accident this evening as our shipmate @JCarr was transporting back to Starbase.
You have a very Colourful imagination, I'll give you that, ha ha ha.
It's just an ingredient in the shave cream and doesn't stain at all, performance of the tube is good.
Bonus : It contains real sandalwood oil.
I have a few tubes (new), I'll be more than happy to send a tube your way, and you can try it yourself.
It'll be an exotic item in your den.
Ps: I'll be really happy to be able to share something with others as well, it'll not be a burden at all.

Sorry to see you go, but at least tell us what you picked up!
Ship's log; another two crew members, #Joncr & #JCarr , have been forced to retire from active duty. There must be a bug going round the ship. We still have 82.5% of this mission to complete and seven down already. 
Still in. Had an accidental BBS with the post war Canadian fat handle Tech loaded with a fresh Shark Platinum. The Tech always makes me wonder why I have other razors...
Still enjoying the voyage!
Hotel headshave and beard/neck trim using my travel kit. You all have a great weekend!

Still in, but I'm struggling with the PAA Bailey's release. I love that **** in my coffee...
On a ski trip to an area where I have purchased a number of razors at an antique store. Stopped in for old time sake and was pleased to see that they had no razors that were of interest. They did however have an EverReady 100T that was tempting for $8.00. Given that I have no need for a brush, I think that the interest in the brush was only as forbidden fruit. Managed to stay strong and put it back on the shelf. It will make someone a nice restoration.
Well, after kind of a rough week I was really looking forward to my Saturday morning shave. I hadn’t used my aluminum Lupo for a few weeks and was happy to be using it again. I had just loaded it with a fresh Bolzano blade, then promptly decided to drop it on the floor 
The post was bent pretty bad and the top cap had a gash with a little aluminum burr sticking out of the side. I said some words. I put it aside and had a great shave with some Mike’s Natural Soaps and my PAA DOC. Later on I was able to bend the post back without busting it off, and file the top cap smooth. It’s got a little character now, but should shave just fine.

Had another great shave with the Canadian fat handle Tech loaded with a Shark Platinum on second use.

I'm reaching new heights with the loaner Karve in excellent shaves.
The D plate has real efficiency and quite frankly, this is my first Solid Bar razor experience which resulted in great shave.
I always got less than good shaves with SB and that's why I went for Open Comb in Game Changer (also due to suggestion from fellow crew member) and till now I was satisfied with it.
CB Karve is an excellent razor, and I'm glad that I got a chance to use it.
SOC is coming along and it still has a lot of break-in to be done.
1 1/2 pass lather was provided by the Boar and the face feel was great.

Cream: Cella
Participating in the FFFMM so same setup as last week. Today is the first day with a fresh GSB after 35 daily shaves using the one from the OBIF challenge. These various monthly events/challenges provide a bit of a distraction and help to take my attention away from window shopping for stuff I don't need. I'm also spending some time making a list of shaving gear to sell or give away. Still no serious temptations.
