Straight Shave #784
WD24mm Silvertip
Valobra Patchoulii
CBL GDmod "The Patriot"
LDGO (Cologne sample @cmh737 sent me, don't recal the actual name)
I have had a busy week with both work and home dishing out a fist full of stuff to do, so my journal has gotten behind. On top of the work load I find myself in that old funk, the good news is i really don't care much what soap i use so i have used up some of the samples. I finished a tester session for the new Lisa's Natural soap, it will be a buy for most of y'all. I also tucked into the Valobra Patchouli sample Chris H sent me. Valobra soap is awesome, i love the texture of the soap itself and the subtle soapy scent is always a win. The performance is just wicked good, make is soupy wet and let the shave commence. I've used the sample enough it is nearly gone, i think i may stick it out and finish it tomorrow.
I had the pleasure of test driving one of Chris H's Genco's this weekend, the huge blade is cool but i had to work on the edge to get it right. Once the edge was dialed in it delivered one of the top 5-10 shaves ever, worth the work to get it there.
This week looks busy too, with appointments in the office and preparations for the daughter's surprise party this Friday I doubt I'll be posting much. On a side note, I have once again discovered the joy of our wonderful California bureaucracy as illustrate by the insane health insurance exchange. In a nutshell...I have spent 2 hours on hold, 7 hours on the internet site(s) and a dozen hours pulling my hair out ...still have no resolution. I should definitely get a few free plastic bags for all of the work i am doing to unwind the complex mess that has been created by no action of my own.
