2024 Shave Purchase Sabbatical - The Year of MacGyver

[Guido75]

I had begun to regret ordering it because I am 'at one' with my Chiseled face Legacy razor, and I was certain that the Diamondback would disappoint.

You can PIF either one to me! I will take the hit for the team

No, Randall, enjoy this beautiful razor. Looks stunning and even from here looks like it’s for for the job for sure!

Enjoy!

Guido

I'm out...

...and I blame my wife for the misshap

She spritzed herself with a really nice grapefruit scented perfume this morning which made me remember how much I enjoyed the Muhle Grapefruit & Mint aftershave that I had 3017'd a while back.

As it happens I was on Carnaby Street this afternoon and failed to resist the urge to pop my head in the Muhle shop. Within two minutes I had procured a bottle of Grapefruit & Mint aftershave and a refill puck of the matching soap.

If memory serves, my inability to resist going into the Muhle store put me out of last year's restraint too...

@Trollky Out, got hit by the mill....

 

[Guido75]

Aii and her I was thinking we would land the first quarter together. But given your understandable love for Mühle @Trollky better to go out with something of their product line - and it’s software not hardware, so in my book that’s good! Feel free to stick around and complete 365/366 which would still be an achievement!

Fellow MacGyvers,

The first official check in has indeed begun and I have seen regular visits from a number of you.

You can choose to confirm your status in two ways. First is by simply reacting to this post with a Bacon tag or by seperately posting “Still in”.

April has two events running: Adjustable April and Vintage April. Lots of great opportunities to shave with what we have and enjoy it.

I wish you all a blessed and happy Easter weekend.

Cheers,

Guido

Desperate times part deux. Hotel shower shave with an unused disposable. This had been one of four disposables left behind by my father in law when he passed on in late 2019, three were new.

Razor: Gillette two blade disposable (≈ Trac II?)
Soap: hotel shampoo and conditioner
Passes: two plus touch up
Rating: BBS (9.9999999999)

Best fast and close shave in a long time. I must remain strong!

I haven't had a college team that I follow in the past, but I took to NC State this year during the regular season and have been following them and hoping they go all the way....and then win it all. A few very tough teams left though. I don't think they are the most naturally talented team but they have the heart and drive to carry them further than talent alone. Or at least I hope they do.

They are looking real good and still healthy.
