	Sometimes I think mixing metals and things is "wrong," but I can't help myself.​
Sometimes I just get all confused.​

Happy shaves,

@Chan Eil Whiskers Look a slant. It's a Piccolo, and it's slanted!
My shaves continue to be kind and smooth! There was little feedback on my three pass shave. I love this little razor! It's my favorite. The Lord Classic is a very fine match up for it. I just got a hundred Big Ben blades and two hundred and fifty Wizmet blades. I'm not sure which to try next? I wonder if the Wizmet blades will be as nice as the Lord Classic I'm using this week?

 

[Chan Eil Whiskers]

Ah, a slant*.

If you've not used the Wizamet SI blades before I suspect you're in for a treat. I like them every bit as much as Polsilver SI blades (and use only those two blades). I might like the Wizamets even better, but it's hard to say. They seem exactly alike to me.

Happy shaves,

Jim

*a slant with a too skinny for me but otherwise excellent handle.

I think she is. She now says if I buy one I'll be sleeping in my car. Does she mean in the driveway as well? It progress. Seems like she's slowly warming to the idea.

Look for an 04-08 Grand Prix. Both rear seat backs fold down and you can slide a twin mattress in.

That sounds like a virtual auto lounge.

Well, make sure it also has the Monsoon audio system and a sunroof. Mine has both.

I went out and randomly searched blades to buy. I bought a 100 Gillette Greens. I feel much better now. I think I really needed them.

The third shave was just as pleasant as the first two. The difference being was in the over all look. My wife has been teasing me that I'm going bald. I've never been a fan of the long hair with a bald spot look. So, I had it all chopped off at the barber. It's really unclear if I am going bald. My hair is thinning as I get older, but there are no discernable "bald spots". My wife likes long hair, but she also likes to tease me...so here I am. If life was in black and white I look like a film from the 1940's.

Wow! That's quite a leap! Your hair was even longer than mine, wasn't it?

A buzz cut will make rubbing the back of your noggin like petting a short-haired dog.

It was about two and a half feet long in the back. I'm having phantom hair syndrome (is that a thing?). I keep feeling like it's there. When I put on a shirt I automatically reach back to pull the pony tail out.

That’s the look you want when the music industry carts you to the world’s most prestigious theaters to sing your ode to Proraso green.

So they’ll be asking you to make the rafters ring with references to Proraso’s other soaps, too. Stay hydrated and control the base of your tongue and you’ll be fine.
