What is on your mind right now?

Shaving related only. What is on your mind right now?

I'll start off with this beauty. I think I'll own her in the near future :001_tt1:

Thinking about whether to stock up on Gillette Black or Feather, and Palmolive stick vs. Speick stick. Frankly I'm leaning towards the Blacks and Palmolive, they are good stuff. But then maybe I should try Tabac or Valobra or La Toja, maybe some Bolzanos and Timors too.
 
Thinking about a Rooney XL2......then I think about getting another two custom brushes instead.....decisions decisions
 
Ive been trying to pack my travel case for 3 days. I,m leaving for a 10 day vacation to the beach in about 10 hrs. Can,t decide what AS's to take. I think I got my creams, some samples, TOBS sandalwood, AOS violet, and my tube of palmolive. EJ travel brush,(its time I get this broke in) and vintage feather travel razor. Assortment of blades, feather, timor , and isralli personna. This is always tough cause I want to take everything. I guess I'll go with some bay rum, prorasso , and clubman. But which bay rum.....hmmm
 
I was som impressed by Portland General Store Whiskey soap, (and the Super Thick hand cream with wood scent) that I think Ill have to order the two aftershaves Professor and Whiskey from USA, since the Norwegian vendor is sold out.
 
Thinking about which Whipped Dog Brush I want to buy next week. Also thinking about which blades I want to stock up on before the Fall of Gentlemanly Restraint. Pretty sure I'm going to stock up on Personna Labs.
 
I'm thinking about how to repair my Semogue 1250. It's my only boar and my favorite brush. It's also currently in two pieces.
 
I think I screwed the pooch on an impulsive order. Hope don't receive junk but reviews after the fact not looking good :(

On better news just discovered Max Sprecher Customs. Like whoa. :)
 
On my mind right now, shaving related? Just got my order of two single edges and an injector, and I am trying to figure out how to use them safely since the angle is much steeper than I had imagined from comments and videos. So I am scanning Youtube and articles on them to be prepared when I wake up tomorrow night for work.
Also, wondering why I just ordered the R41 and blades when I have no need at all, and wondering where I might even put them and working through rationalizing my purchase (Blasted psychology, now I -know- when I am rationalizing and projecting... but I still do it.:sneaky2: )

Non-shaving but B&B related, I am also looking at my ink bottle (recently cleaned) from Goulet's that I was going to use with the eye-dropper to change one of my pens, but then realized I didn't bring my turkey-baster like... thingy, to clean my pen out and I figured I would do the job right, which means it will be tomorrow.
 
Thinking: should I even keep any of my DE stuff since I have been enjoying daily straight shaves this week?
 
On my mind right now, a #164 Canadian Goodwill, they are so hard to find ! There's one on etsy, but sooooooooooooooo expensive...:crying:
 
Thinking about how happy I'll be when my son brings back my Gillette Fatboy tomorrow and I can start using it again after a LONG absence. Really miss that good ol razor - gave me many a great shave. :biggrin1:
 
On my mind right now: I can't wait until Sunday when I have a nice chunk of time to straight shave and hopefully get better at it.

I'm thinking about the Blue Wonder straight I bought at an antique store yesterday, with a good blade but broken scales. I'm trying to think how I can make new scales for it when my workshop tools are all packed into boxes and in storage. :(
